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

midjourney-prompting 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 1mo 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.

Midjourney prompting guide

Version note, last verified September 2026. The current default is V8.2, and this guide covers V7, V8.1, V8.2, and Niji 7. Midjourney ships new versions a few times a year, so if the user names a newer one, or a parameter behaves unexpectedly, check https://docs.midjourney.com with WebSearch before relying on a version-specific claim here.

Quick reference: prompt structure

A Midjourney prompt has up to four parts:

/imagine [description] [image URLs] [parameters]

Key Principle: Short, specific prompts work best. Describe what you want to see, not abstract concepts.


The 7-element framework

Build complete prompts systematically:

Element Question Examples
Subject Who/what is in the image? A weathered fisherman, a cyberpunk samurai
Medium What art form? Oil painting, photograph, 3D render
Environment Where is this? Stormy harbor, neon-lit alley, misty forest
Lighting How is it lit? Golden hour, dramatic backlighting, soft diffused
Color What palette? Muted blues, warm earth tones, high contrast
Mood What feeling? Melancholic, triumphant, eerie
Composition How is it framed? Rule of thirds, centered, wide shot

Example:

A weathered fisherman, oil painting, stormy harbor at dawn,
dramatic backlighting, muted blues and grays, melancholic,
rule of thirds composition --ar 3:2

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.
