zenith

zenith is a skill for Claude Code from zenitheditor/zenith. It costs 70 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool and file format for creating editable visual designs such as posters, slides, flyers, books, diagrams, charts, and ads from plain-text .zen documents. The Zenith command-line tool validates the document and renders it to PNG or PDF.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to author deterministic designs, inspect their geometry and styles, validate documents, manage design tokens and fonts, and create image or print outputs.
Why use it?
It keeps the design as structured source code that can be edited, reviewed, compared, and rendered again instead of being only a flat image.

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

zenith 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.

What it actually says

Zenith

Zenith agents author editable .zen documents and render deterministic outputs through the CLI.

A new design:

  1. For a flyer, letterhead, handout, deck, poster, menu, card, or report, run zenith new <path> --starter <kind>. Add --theme and a size flag as needed. The output lists every text slot and one tx --ops command that fills them. Change the text, tokens, and nodes. Do not rewrite the file.
  2. For any other design, run zenith schema write once. It holds a working document, the layout rules, the common attributes, and the common tx ops as runnable JSON. Run zenith schema node <kind> or zenith schema op <name> only for what it does not list.
  3. Run zenith validate, then zenith render --png, and look at the PNG before delivery. Export the requested format alongside the .zen source.

To revise an existing document, start with zenith tx --help, which lists the common edits as runnable ops. Read a reference only when a step fails or the task is not covered above. Never invent attributes or transaction fields.

If the CLI is unavailable, use the installer at https://github.com/zenitheditor/zenith#install. Never fabricate execution results.

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.
