pipeline-router

pipeline-router is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinsonconsulting/limner. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,197 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision guide for choosing an image-generation workflow based on the asset you need, using Midjourney, DALL·E, or Recraft and optional finishing steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose a pipeline for logos, vector graphics, text-heavy images, painterly artwork, and assets that need upscaling, vectorization, or composition.
Why use it?
It helps avoid paying for an unsuitable image and then fixing problems such as missing vector output, unreadable text, or a background that cannot be made transparent.

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

pipeline-router 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.

Pipeline router

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 pick the right generation pipeline before you generate, so you do not pay for a raster you then have to trace or composite text by hand. It routes by what the asset is first, then by cost and speed. The reference at the end is the decision table.

Procedure

  1. Name the output kind. Is it vector or raster? Does it need readable text in the image? Does it need a transparent background? These decide the pipeline before cost does.
  2. Match the requirement to a pipeline. Vector and logo work go to Recraft; in-image text goes to DALL·E; painterly, art-directed imagery goes to Midjourney when the user can run it. Use the reference table for the full mapping.
  3. Weigh cost and speed to break ties. Midjourney carries no Limner API charge but the user runs it and brings the result back; DALL·E and Recraft bill per call and return directly. Prefer compose over paying for another generation.
  4. Hand off to the chosen pipeline. Load its skill (midjourney, dalle, or recraft) and build the prompt there.
  5. Plan the finish. If the asset needs print scale, upscale it; if a raster mark needs to scale, vectorize it; otherwise convert and resize in compose.

Judgment

  • Decide the output kind before the budget. The wrong format costs more to fix later than the right pipeline costs up front.
  • Reach for Recraft vector from the start when the asset must scale, rather than generating a raster and tracing it afterward.
  • Prefer Midjourney when the user has a subscription and wants art direction; prefer DALL·E or Recraft when you need the asset returned in one step.
  • When two pipelines both fit, choose the one whose native output needs the least post-processing.

Routing reference

The table below is generated from the Limner guidance core (@limner/core), the same source the MCP pipeline-router 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.

pipeline-router is a skill published in the GitHub repository vinsonconsulting/limner (1 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,197 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
