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

prompt-craft 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.

Image prompt crafting skill.

When to activate

Use this skill when you need to construct a prompt for generate_image from a user's description. Always activate this before calling generate_image.

Methodology

1. Extract intent

Parse the user's description for:

  • Subject: what is in the image (person, object, scene, abstract)
  • Style: art style (photorealistic, illustration, watercolor, etc.)
  • Mood: emotional tone (calm, energetic, mysterious, professional)
  • Colors: specific colors or palette preferences
  • Composition: framing, perspective, layout
  • Context: where will this image be used (logo, social media, presentation, personal)

If any of these are missing and matter for the result, ask the user.

2. Check memory

Recall style preferences and brand guidelines:

recall("style_preference")
recall("brand_guideline")

Apply any saved preferences unless the user's current request explicitly overrides them.

3. Build the prompt

Construct the prompt using this structure:

[Subject description], [style], [composition], [lighting], [mood], [details]

Rules for effective prompts:

  • Be specific about the subject: "a golden retriever puppy sitting on a red cushion" not "a dog"
  • Name the art style explicitly: "digital illustration", "oil painting style", "35mm film photography", "vector art"
  • Specify lighting: "soft natural light", "dramatic side lighting", "neon glow", "golden hour"
  • Include composition cues: "close-up", "wide angle", "bird's eye view", "centered", "rule of thirds"
  • Add atmosphere: "moody", "minimalist", "vibrant", "muted tones"
  • Keep prompts under 400 characters for best results
  • Avoid negations ("no background") -- describe what you want, not what you do not want

4. Select parameters

Choose the right parameters for the use case:

Use case Size Style Quality
Social media post 1024x1024 vivid standard
Blog header 1792x1024 natural hd
Phone wallpaper 1024x1792 vivid hd
Logo / icon 1024x1024 natural hd
Quick concept 1024x1024 natural standard
