captioned-graphic

captioned-graphic is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinsonconsulting/limner. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,053 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for adding exact, readable captions, headlines, titles, or quote cards to an image.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create title slides, caption bands, headline graphics, or quote cards with controlled text placement and styling.
Why use it?
The text is rendered separately and then placed over the image, so it remains legible instead of depending on an image generator to spell it correctly.

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

captioned-graphic 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 5d 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Captioned graphic

Limner is an independent third-party project built on Anthropic's CMA platform; it is not an Anthropic or Claude product.

Use this skill to set words on an image: a headline, a caption bar, a title slide, or a quote card. Compose's renderText op turns a small JSX-shaped layout into a PNG, and the watermark op composites it over the base image. The text is exact and legible because you set it, unlike text a generator bakes in. The reference at the end gives the op details.

Procedure

  1. Write the text. Keep it short: a headline is one line, a caption a brief phrase.
  2. Choose the layout. Decide where the text sits (a bottom caption band, a centered title) and the type style (size, color, weight).
  3. Render the text. Use the renderText op with a JSX-shaped layout (flexbox style), the canvas size, and the IBM Plex Sans font. Give the canvas a transparent background, or a translucent band behind the words for legibility over a busy image.
  4. Composite over the image. Use the watermark op to place the rendered text onto the base image: at (0, 0) if you rendered at full size, or at an offset for a strip.
  5. Deliver one asset. Convert to JPEG or WebP if file size matters, then return the captioned image through its capability URL.

Judgment

  • Render the text at the base image size and composite at (0, 0) for pixel-exact placement; render a smaller strip to position a caption like a stamp.
  • Put a translucent band behind text over a busy or light image so it stays readable.
  • Keep one type style across a set so the captions read as a series.
  • The built-in font is IBM Plex Sans. Do not assume other families are available.

Reference

The table below is generated from the Limner guidance core (@limner/core), the same source the MCP captioned-graphic prompt serves, so this skill and that prompt cannot drift. Do not edit the generated region by hand; run pnpm --filter @limner/limner-agent gen:skills instead.

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.
