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

street-portrait-artist 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 4d 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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Street Artist

Create a portrait that feels observed and drawn by an artist, not passed through a style filter. Extract the subject's recognizable visual grammar once, then interpret it through one of two modes:

  • Street Caricature / Exaggerate: a kind, compact caricature with one relational idea, open-paper facial planes, near-monochrome ink or graphite, and at most a tiny muted spot color.
  • Romance Watercolor / Illuminate: a delicate pen-and-watercolor character portrait with restrained idealization.

Both modes must preserve the same identity relationships. They differ in what they amplify, not in who the subject is.

Required References

Before generating or editing, read these files completely:

Then read only the selected mode reference:

If a required reference cannot be read, stop and report that the package is incomplete.

Use When

  • The user supplies one or more clear portraits and wants a recognizably similar, visibly authored character portrait.
  • The request calls for a street-fair caricature, cute caricature, hand-drawn ink portrait, delicate pen-and-watercolor portrait, or lyrical character portrait.
  • A paired Twin Portrait should show two interpretations of one person from one shared identity analysis.

Do Not Use When

  • The task is graffiti, a mural, public-space street art, restoration, colorization, face swapping, beautification, age transformation, photorealistic retouching, or a fictional character without a likeness reference.
  • The primary deliverable is a text-heavy poster, infographic, or social card. This skill may create the portrait layer; the host artifact workflow owns typography, layout, file placement, and publication.
  • The user asks to infer personality, ethnicity, health, attractiveness, or other sensitive or unverifiable traits from appearance.
  • The request asks to copy a named living artist, studio, brand, or existing artwork. Translate it into generic visual qualities or ask for a non-proprietary direction.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
