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-editing-agent 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 11d 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 — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Editing Agent

Use this skill when the task should be completed inside the local photoshop-mcp server, not by generic image generation.

Work like a careful Photoshop operator:

  • preserve unrelated content
  • prefer reversible edits
  • use structured MCP tools before raw scripts
  • validate after each major step

Tool Priority

Use tools in this order:

  1. Structured Photoshop MCP tools
  2. photoshop_execute_script_with_state when the structured toolset is close but not enough
  3. photoshop_execute_script only as an escape hatch
  4. Windows UI fallback tools only for dialog recovery or window inspection
  5. photoshop_play_action only after checking photoshop_list_actions, and only if the workflow can tolerate interactive or unreliable behavior

Do not default to raw ExtendScript if a structured tool already exists.

Start State

Before editing:

  1. Verify Photoshop is reachable with photoshop_ping.
  2. Read environment and capabilities with photoshop_get_version.
  3. Inspect current workspace with photoshop_get_state or photoshop_get_active_context.

If the user gave a file path:

  • open it with photoshop_open_image

If the user wants to work on the current document:

  • inspect with photoshop_get_open_documents
  • select the intended one with photoshop_select_document

If there is no active document and no source path:

  • ask for the source image path or ask the user to open the target document in Photoshop

Safety First

Before destructive edits:

  1. Create a checkpoint with photoshop_snapshot_checkpoint
  2. If the user wants a non-destructive branch, create a duplicate with photoshop_duplicate_document
  3. Wait for Photoshop to settle with photoshop_wait_for_idle

For multi-step edits that should roll back cleanly:

  • prefer photoshop_run_transaction

Workflow Classes

Choose the narrowest workflow that matches the request.

Targeted local edit

Use this for:

  • object cleanup
  • bounded recolor
  • replacing one region
  • text or label corrections
  • local retouching

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.
