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 | $0.00018 | $0.02458 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01229 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00492 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00246 |
Grade A, and why
baoyu-article-illustrator scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Article Illustrator
Adapted from baoyu-article-illustrator for Hermes Agent's tool ecosystem.
Analyze articles, identify illustration positions, generate images with Type × Style × Palette consistency.
When to Use
Trigger this skill when the user asks to illustrate an article, add images to an article, generate illustrations for content, or uses phrases like "为文章配图", "illustrate article", or "add images". The user provides an article (file path or pasted content) and optionally specifies type, style, palette, or density.
Three Dimensions
| Dimension | Controls | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Information structure | infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline |
| Style | Rendering approach | notion, warm, minimal, blueprint, watercolor, elegant |
| Palette | Color scheme (optional) | macaron, warm, neon — overrides style's default colors |
Combine freely: type=infographic, style=vector-illustration, palette=macaron.
Or use presets: edu-visual → type + style + palette in one shot. See style-presets.md.
Types
| Type | Best For |
|---|---|
infographic |
Data, metrics, technical |
scene |
Narratives, emotional |
flowchart |
Processes, workflows |

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.

baoyu-article-illustrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (238,457 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 2,458 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
