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

imagine 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 8d 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.

Imagine – Image Generation & Editing via zdx imagine

Generate images from text prompts or edit existing images using Gemini, OpenAI, or Alibaba (Qwen-Image) image models. Supports text-to-image generation, image editing (inpainting, outpainting, style transfer), and multi-image composition.

CLI reference

zdx imagine --prompt <PROMPT> [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -p, --prompt <PROMPT>   Text prompt (required)
  -s, --source <IMAGE>    Source image for editing (repeatable for multi-image)
  -o, --out <PATH>        Output path — written exactly as given (default: $ZDX_HOME/artifacts/image-<timestamp>.<ext>)
      --model <MODEL>     Model override (default: gemini:gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview)
      --aspect <RATIO>    Aspect ratio (Gemini only; see table below)
      --size <SIZE>       512px | 1K (default) | 2K | 4K

Output: prints the exact saved file path(s) to stdout. --out is honored literally; the model picks the image format (often JPEG for Gemini), so a file named .png may actually hold JPEG bytes. That is fine — zdx reads images by content, not extension. Use --out to control the path and always view/attach the printed path.

When running inside zdx (TUI, bot, or CLI), $ZDX_ARTIFACT_DIR is the preferred output location. Pass it via --out:

zdx imagine -p "..." --out "$ZDX_ARTIFACT_DIR/descriptive-name.png"

If no --out is given, images default to $ZDX_HOME/artifacts/.

Provider guidance

  • Default: If you do not pass --model, zdx imagine uses gemini:gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview.
  • OpenAI support: zdx imagine also supports both openai:gpt-image-2 and openai-codex:gpt-image-2.
  • Preferred OpenAI path: When using OpenAI, prefer openai-codex:gpt-image-2 unless the user explicitly asks for plain openai:gpt-image-2.
  • Alibaba (Qwen-Image) support: zdx imagine supports alibaba:qwen-image-3.0-pro, alibaba:qwen-image-3.0, and alibaba:qwen-image-2.0-pro — combined text-to-image + editing models on Alibaba DashScope. Requires ALIBABA_API_KEY. Use them when the user asks for Qwen/Alibaba image generation.
  • Preferred Alibaba path: Use alibaba:qwen-image-3.0-pro. It is the strongest of the three at dense layouts, small text (~10px), and multilingual typography. Fall back to alibaba:qwen-image-3.0 for cheaper/faster runs, and to alibaba:qwen-image-2.0-pro only when explicitly asked.
  • Gemini vs OpenAI/Alibaba: --aspect currently works with Gemini only; OpenAI, OpenAI Codex, and Alibaba require --size instead.
  • OpenAI size support: OpenAI/OpenAI Codex support 1K, 2K, and 4K. 512px is Gemini-only.
  • Alibaba size support: All Alibaba Qwen-Image models support 512px, 1K, and 2K (not 4K).

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.
