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

x-carousel 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 10d 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 — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal: produce the PNG assets of the N cards of an X carousel ad (X Ads), at the chosen ratio, coherent with each other and aligned with the guidelines. A carousel is not N independent images: it is a series that tells something. Coherence across cards is the heart of the deliverable.

This is a specialization of new-template. Same conventions: the Template contract, assets through brand(), fonts discovered in fonts/, export default ... satisfies Template. Same model as facebook-carousel.

Carousel ad. X has no "organic carousel": a tweet only carries 1 to 4 images displayed as a mosaic (undocumented). What this skill produces are the cards of an advertising carousel (X Ads).

0. Prerequisites (blocking)

The chain project -> template folder -> guidelines must exist:

  • Resolve <project> (from the arguments, otherwise ask).
  • Check templates/<project>/ and brands/<project>/brand.md.
  • Missing guidelines or project -> STOP: ask for /new-project <project> first. No visual without guidelines (CLAUDE.md rule).

1. Frame it (ask, don't guess)

  • Name of the carousel: a kebab-case slug, default x-carousel. It is the subfolder templates/<project>/<name>/. Check that it does not exist.
  • Ratio: 1:1 (1080×1080) or 1.91:1 (1200×628). The same for every card (mandatory).
  • Narrative mechanic (see §3): a story, one card per product, a top N, a tutorial, before/after.
  • Number of cards: 2 to 6 (X's limit).
  • Content of each card: a short message + its role (hook, development, CTA).
  • Read brands/<project>/brand.md: palette, type, logo variants, don'ts.
  • Read brands/<project>/project.md if it exists: set the tone and the claims of the cards (don't invent figures or promises). If absent -> ask for the tone and the message rather than guessing.
  • If the project already holds a .tsx, read it as a reference.
