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

image-gen 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/resize.py, scripts/watermark.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.

Pillow — Image Processing

Resize and crop

from PIL import Image

img = Image.open("input.jpg")

# Resize maintaining aspect ratio
img.thumbnail((800, 600))
img.save("resized.jpg")

# Exact resize (may distort)
img_resized = img.resize((800, 600))

# Crop (left, upper, right, lower)
cropped = img.crop((100, 50, 500, 400))
cropped.save("cropped.jpg")

# Center crop to square
w, h = img.size
size = min(w, h)
left = (w - size) // 2
top = (h - size) // 2
square = img.crop((left, top, left + size, top + size))

Filters and adjustments

from PIL import ImageFilter, ImageEnhance

# Blur / sharpen
blurred = img.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(radius=3))
sharpened = img.filter(ImageFilter.SHARPEN)

# Brightness, contrast, saturation
enhancer = ImageEnhance.Brightness(img)
bright = enhancer.enhance(1.3)  # 1.0 = original

enhancer = ImageEnhance.Contrast(img)
contrast = enhancer.enhance(1.5)

# Convert to grayscale
gray = img.convert("L")

Compositing and watermarks

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

img = Image.open("photo.jpg")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

# Text watermark
font = ImageFont.truetype("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf", 36)
draw.text((20, img.height - 50), "© 2025", fill=(255, 255, 255, 128), font=font)

# Overlay image (logo in corner)
logo = Image.open("logo.png").resize((100, 100))
img.paste(logo, (img.width - 110, 10), logo)  # third arg = mask for transparency

img.save("watermarked.jpg")

What ships with it

2 files 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.

Changes

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.
