image-generation

image-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tang-vu/social-posting-skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating AI-generated images for social media posts. It lists recommended sizes, proportions, file limits, and image uses for platforms such as Reddit, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Medium.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create cover images, social share cards, banners, and other visuals sized for specific social networks.
Why use it?
It reduces the guesswork involved in preparing images that fit each platform's technical limits and post format.

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-generation 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Image / Media (Campaign Layer)

Campaign media is managed, not improvised: every asset enters via campaign assets add with alt text and provenance, and validation checks bounds per platform (platforms/*.json).

Discipline

  • Assets are explicit: campaign assets add <id> <file> --alt "..." --item <i>
  • Alt text is required for accessibility — describe what the image SHOWS (content and function), not keywords. Under ~125 chars where possible.
  • Provenance matters: mark AI-generated images as such (Meta/FB require AI labels; honesty is the default everywhere).
  • Never attach files with sensitive names/contents; the CLI refuses obvious ones (.env, keys, tokens) — don't try to work around it.
  • Validate bounds before publishing: count, MB, format, aspect — the validator reads platforms/*.json; trust it over memory.

Size guidance

Recommended sizes live in each platforms/<id>.json (media.imageSize, media.maxImageMB, media.formats). When generating an image, target the platform's ratio: roughly 16:9 for X/Bluesky/LinkedIn link cards, 1:1 for Threads, 5:3 for Product Hunt gallery, ~2.4:1 for Dev.to covers, tall or square where the platform crops centrally.

What makes a good campaign image

  • Shows the product working (screenshot, demo frame) > abstract art.
  • One focal point, readable at feed size.
  • Text overlay only when it survives small sizes; better in alt/title.
  • Consistent with the post's claim — no fake screenshots, no fabricated charts. Media is evidence, not decoration.

Prompt patterns (for generation tools)

{subject}, {context}, flat illustration|isometric|clean product shot,
{palette}, minimal, no text overlay, high contrast for feed thumbnails

Keep prompts honest: don't generate "screenshots" of a UI that doesn't exist. For product shots prefer real captures via the media manifest.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
