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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.03048 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01524 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00610 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00305 |
Grade A, and why
desk-accessory 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 11d 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.

Desk Accessory Generator
Create desk accessories for the Claude Office Visualizer using Nano Banana MCP for AI image generation and ImageMagick for transparency and tinting preparation.
Philosophy: Tintable Variety
Desk accessories should be grayscale or white so they can be tinted with different colors at runtime. This allows a single sprite to represent many color variations across different desks, adding visual variety without generating multiple sprites.
Before generating, ask:
- Is this a unique item (one-of-a-kind) or a common item (appears on multiple desks)?
- If common: make it WHITE/GRAYSCALE for tinting
- If unique: colors can be baked in
Key Principle: White for Tinting
CRITICAL: Unless the item is unique (only appears once), generate it as WHITE or GRAYSCALE so it can be tinted programmatically.
Why this matters:
- A white coffee mug can become blue, pink, green, gold via tinting
- A red stapler can ONLY be red - no variety
- Tinting multiplies the sprite's colors with the tint color
- White (0xFFFFFF) × any tint = that tint color
- Gray gives shaded/dimensional tinting results
Key Principle: Facing Direction
CRITICAL: All desk items should face NORTH-WEST (away from the viewer). The game uses a top-down perspective where the user views characters and items from behind/above. Items should be oriented so their "front" faces away from the camera toward the top-left of the screen.
Prompt Templates
Scaling Guidance
IMPORTANT: Generated images (1024px) are scaled down to ~128px for use in the game. Include guidance in your prompts to ensure details survive scaling:
- Request thick lines and bold shapes
- Ask for chunky pixel art style
- Avoid fine details that will disappear at small sizes
- Add explicit note: "this will be scaled down significantly, use thick prominent features"
Common Desk Items (Tintable - WHITE/GRAYSCALE)
Pixel art [ITEM], 16-bit retro game style, WHITE colored, simple clean design,
facing north-west, on solid magenta background #FF00FF, game sprite asset,
centered composition, no shadows on background, clean edges,
chunky pixel art with thick lines and bold shapes, this will be scaled down significantly so use thick prominent features
What ships with it
1 file 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.
- 11d ago First seen · 315 lines · 53 tokens per session scan A 326e22ae06ef
desk-accessory is a skill published in the GitHub repository paulrobello/claude-office (511 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,048 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
