In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make posters, artwork, designs, or other design-focused one-page visuals.

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

canvas_design 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 9d 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

These are instructions for creating design philosophies - aesthetic movements that are then EXPRESSED VISUALLY. Output only .md files, .pdf files, and .png files.

Complete this in two steps:

  1. Design Philosophy Creation (.md file)
  2. Express by creating it on a canvas (.pdf file or .png file)

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY CREATION

Create a VISUAL PHILOSOPHY (not layouts or templates) that will be interpreted through:

  • Form, space, color, composition
  • Images, graphics, shapes, patterns
  • Minimal text as visual accent

The philosophy must emphasize: Visual expression. Spatial communication. Artistic interpretation. Minimal words.

CANVAS CREATION

With the philosophy established, express it on a canvas. Create museum or magazine quality work using the design philosophy as the foundation. Create one single page, highly visual, design-forward PDF or PNG output.

Text as a contextual element: Text is always minimal and visual-first. Use different fonts creatively as part of the art itself.

CRITICAL: Create work that looks like it took countless hours. Ensure the composition, spacing, color choices, typography - everything reflects expert-level craftsmanship.

Output the final result as a single, downloadable .pdf or .png file, alongside the design philosophy used as a .md file.

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.
