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 | $0.00051 | $0.03673 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01469 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00735 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00367 |
Grade B, and why
image-cutout scanned grade B with 2 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 today.
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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Image Cutout (Background Removal)
When to Use This Skill
Any time a task involves:
- Removing a background from a photo, product image, or illustration
- Creating transparent-background PNGs for UI, marketing, or compositing
- Preparing subject isolations for further design work (collages, mockups, overlays)
- Batch-processing image assets
Always output PNG with alpha channel. Never output JPEG for cutouts.
Quality Tiers
| Tier | Approach | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum | SAM 2 + FBA Matting | Hero shots, complex hair, precise control |
| Excellent | rembg birefnet-hd + alpha matte |
High-res assets, portraits, products |
| Good / fast | rembg birefnet-general |
Batch, standard web assets |
| Paid API | remove.bg / PhotoRoom API | Client deliverables where quality is non-negotiable |
| Browser/Edge | @imgly/background-removal |
Frontend / Node.js pipelines |
Default pick for ALL work: SAM 2 + FBA Matting. This is the mandatory default — always use it unless there is a specific reason not to (e.g. no Python environment, tight deadline, batch of 50+ images). Never default to rembg when doing a single cutout. rembg is a fallback, not a default.
Tool Selection by Use Case
| Use case | Best tool | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Products / hard edges | rembg (birefnet-general) |
Excellent |
| Portraits, standard res | rembg (birefnet-general) + alpha matte |
Excellent |
| High-res portraits / large images | rembg (birefnet-hd) + alpha matte |
Superior |
| Hair / fur / fine detail — maximum quality | SAM 2 + FBA Matting | Best possible |
| Batch / CI pipeline | rembg (birefnet-general) loop |
Fast |
| Maximum quality, paid | remove.bg or PhotoRoom API | Reference |
| Browser / Edge runtime | @imgly/background-removal (WASM) |
Good |
Python — rembg (primary approach)
Install
pip install rembg[gpu] pillow # GPU (CUDA) — fastest

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.

image-cutout is a skill published in the GitHub repository ProfFroggo/froggo-mission-control (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 3,673 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-07.
