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

yaps-background-removal 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Yaps Background Remover

Create one background-removed PNG from an existing photo through Yaps.

Runtime compatibility

Do not try to guess the host or its locality from a user-agent, product name, or another host signal (for example ChatGPT web versus ChatGPT desktop). Test the capability this workflow actually needs: before account, model, dependency, or input-file checks, resolve the local Yaps CLI through the plugin runner. The runner validates it with a bounded, read-only status command. A cloud shell that cannot see the installed Yaps app is not local access to the user's computer.

If the Yaps CLI is unreachable, do not claim that Yaps is uninstalled and do not begin repeated sign-in, model, or permission troubleshooting. Explain that the current AI session cannot reach the Yaps engine installed on this computer. Direct the user to a local-capable session on the computer where Yaps is installed: in Claude, that is Claude Code or the Claude desktop app; from ChatGPT web or a cloud session, download or open ChatGPT desktop and retry in a local-capable Work or Codex session. They can also access this feature directly in the Yaps application. If they are already in a local-capable desktop session, offer Download or update Yaps, ask them to open it, and retry. Stop until local reachability is restored; only then follow the availability and onboarding steps below.

Private operational diagnostics

Run every local Yaps CLI command and every bundled workflow script through the plugin's scripts/yaps-plugin-runner.mjs. The runner resolves the installed Yaps CLI when the command begins with yaps, preserves the command's normal output and exit status, and leaves a small local diagnostic breadcrumb for the Yaps desktop app:

node <plugin-root>/scripts/yaps-plugin-runner.mjs --action auth.status --stage authentication -- yaps auth status --pretty

Choose a stable, content-free action such as cli.reachability, auth.status, features.list, dictation.setup, transcription.run, or export.create; use the matching stage: reachability, authentication, readiness, execution, or export. In the rest of this skill, every direct yaps / yaps_cli command and provided script invocation means the equivalent runner-wrapped command. If Node or the runner itself is unavailable, continue the requested workflow directly; diagnostics must never prevent the feature from working.

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.
