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

color-palette-brief 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.

Color Palette Brief

What This Skill Does

Generates a detailed color palette brief with named colors, hex codes, rationale, and usage guidance for a media project's visual identity — show artwork, editorial imagery, website, or social media.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are establishing the visual identity of a new podcast, YouTube channel, newsletter, or publication and need to define a color system
  • You want to brief a designer on the color direction for a project with enough specificity that they can build the palette without a conversation
  • You need to maintain color consistency across AI-generated images, social posts, and designed assets
  • You have a vague color direction in mind ("something warm and earthy") and need it translated into specific, usable values

What You Need To Provide

Required:

  • Project name and a brief description of what it is
  • The emotional tone and personality of the project (how should it feel?)
  • The audience (who is it for?)

Optional:

  • Any colors you already know you want (even approximate — "a dark teal," "a warm off-white")
  • Named reference brands, publications, or shows whose palette you want to approach or diverge from
  • The platform(s) where the palette will be used (web, print, video, social media)
  • Whether you need dark mode and light mode variants
  • Any colors to avoid and why

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Derives the palette from the project's personality and audience: what colors communicate the right feeling, and what associations must be avoided
  2. Builds a structured system: primary color (the identity anchor), secondary color (support and contrast), accent color (for calls to action and highlights), neutral/background colors (light and dark), and a danger or caution color (for use sparingly)
  3. Provides each color with: a descriptive name, a hex code, an RGB value, and a one-sentence usage note
  4. Explains the palette's logic — why these specific colors were chosen and what they communicate together
  5. Provides prompt-ready color language for AI image generation: phrases that consistently produce images within the palette
  6. Closes with a "Next Step" note: the first practical action after receiving the palette (test the hex codes in your design tool, run visual-identity-prompt to build the full visual system, or run cover-image-pipeline to produce the first asset using these colors)
