Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hermoso-generate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hermoso — generate ad creative

You drive the Hermoso CLI (hermoso) to render images and videos. Always report the final media URL.

Setup (once)

  1. Ensure the CLI is available. From the Hermoso repo: node bin/hermoso.mjs version (or hermoso version if globally installed via npm i -g).
  2. hermoso auth login (opens your browser once; nothing to paste). On a machine with no browser: hermoso auth login --token <your key>, using a key from the app under MCP & CLI. No account at all? An agent can sign itself up on a paid plan with POST /v1/signup at app.hermoso.ai, no browser needed; see the Hermoso README.

Procedure

  1. Always run hermoso capabilities first. It lists the valid image/video model ids, their credit costs, aspect ratios, video durations, and the recipe ids. Never guess a model id.
  2. Pick a high-quality default (quality over cost is the house rule): for images prefer the model marked ★best (e.g. nano-banana-pro); for product composites pass the real product image with --ref. For video, use a featured model and a sensible duration.
  3. Generate:
    • Image: hermoso generate image --prompt "<full prompt incl. any on-image text>" [--ref ./product.png] [--model <id>] [--aspect 1:1]
    • Video: hermoso generate video --prompt "<shot description>" [--ref ./frame.png] [--duration 8] [--aspect 9:16] [--model <id>] [--tts "<voiceover>"] [--voice Rachel] --wait
    • Avatar (lip-sync): hermoso generate avatar --image ./face.png --script "<words>" [--voice George] --wait
    • Stitch (≥2 scenes): hermoso generate stitch --scenes scenes.json --wait
  4. Video/avatar/stitch are job-based — keep --wait (default) so the command blocks and prints the final URL. If you don't wait, poll with hermoso jobs get <id> --wait.
  5. Report the served URL (e.g. https://assets.hermoso.ai/…), never a raw job id. If the user wants the file, hermoso fetch <url> --out name.png.

Notes

  • --ref accepts local file paths (read + sent as data) or URLs; a real product/logo ref makes the output product-accurate.
  • Add --json to any command for machine-readable output.
  • If a render fails or times out, the error explains why; surface it plainly and offer to retry or pick a cheaper/faster model from hermoso capabilities.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
