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

banner-creator 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/crop_banner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Create professional banners through AI image generation with an iterative design process.

Prerequisites

Required API Keys (set in environment):

Required Skills:

  • nanobanana - AI image generation (Gemini 3 Pro Image)

Workflow

Step 1: Discovery & Requirements

Before generating, gather requirements from user:

Ask about:

  1. Purpose - Where will the banner be used?

    • GitHub README
    • Twitter/X header
    • LinkedIn banner
    • Website hero
    • YouTube channel art
  2. Target ratio/size - See references/formats.md:

    • 2:1 (1280x640) - GitHub README
    • 3:1 (1500x500) - Twitter header
    • 16:9 (1920x1080) - Website hero
  3. Style preference:

    • Match existing logo/brand?
    • Pixel art / 8-bit retro
    • Minimalist / flat design
    • Gradient / modern
    • Illustrated / artistic
  4. Content elements:

    • Brand name / project name?
    • Tagline / slogan?
    • Logo character to include?
  5. Color preferences:

    • Existing brand colors?
    • Let AI decide?

Wait for user confirmation before proceeding!

Step 2: Generate Banner Variations

Generate 20 banner variations using the nanobanana skill:

# Generate single banner
python3 <nanobanana_skill_dir>/scripts/generate.py "{style} banner for {brand}, {description}, {text elements}" \
  --ratio 21:9 -o .skill-archive/banner-creator/<date-name>/banner-01.png

# Batch generate 20 banners
python3 <nanobanana_skill_dir>/scripts/batch_generate.py "{style} banner for {brand}, {description}, {text elements}" \
  -n 20 --ratio 21:9 -d .skill-archive/banner-creator/<date-name> -p banner

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.
