Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00093 | $0.00917 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00367 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00183 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
magazine-poster 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to magazine-poster — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Magazine Poster Skill
Produce a single-page editorial poster — looks like a tear-out from a Sunday paper. Long-form, deliberate, type-driven.
Workflow
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the heaviest serif token in the DS for the headline, the body serif for the columns, and a typewriter / mono token for the section eyebrows and annotations.
- Pick the topic from the brief. Write a real, opinionated headline — one with a struck-through word ("a designer", "the template hunt") and an italic accent on a key noun ("first draft", "mood", "specifics").
- Layout, in order:
- Top rule — thin black hairline + a dateline ("01 · A · YOUR LAB" left, "DD · MMM · YYYY" right). Light typewriter font.
- Top eyebrow — a single mono tag like "POSTED TODAY".
- Headline — 2–3 lines, oversized serif. One word struck through
with
text-decoration: line-through; text-decoration-thickness: 2px. One word italic, in accent color. - Deck — a 1–2 sentence subhead in italic serif at ~60% size of
the headline, with a dash separator and a
— what workscallout fragment in accent. - Accent rule — short horizontal accent-colored bar (~80px).
- Body grid — six numbered cells in a 2×3 (or 3×2) grid. Each cell:
- eyebrow (
01 · SHIP FAST) in mono, accent color. - bold serif sub-headline.
- 2–3 sentence body in body serif.
- one annotated callout — a quoted "use this prompt" line on a tinted background block, set in mono.
- eyebrow (
- Footer band — rule above, three cells: handle / role / date, with a small "PRO TIP" plate on the left containing one closing line.
- Write a single HTML document:
<!doctype html>through</html>, CSS inline.- Background uses a creamy paper tint (
#f3eee2or DS canvas) plus a subtle paper noise (radial-gradientdots at low opacity). - 2-column body grid via CSS Grid; min-width 1100px page.
data-od-idon header, headline, deck, each cell, footer.
- Self-check:
- Type hierarchy is unmistakable — headline owns the page.
- Strikethrough + italic accent both appear, exactly once each.
- Body reads like real opinion, not lorem ipsum.
- Looks intentional at 1280–1440px wide.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
