Ideogram

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Phrases: ideogram
• Thumbnail with words
• Ideogram generate

Example prompts

• “/ideogram”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Every generation/edit/remix/upscale spends balance (~$0.05-0.08/image by model/speed tier). Confirm with Michael before each one.
2. 2COST WARNING: Ideogram billing auto-tops-up: it refills to $20 when the balance drops below $10 (configurable). Read balance first so…
3. 3Image URLs expire. Download immediately after generation; never store the URL as the artifact.
4. 4Default rate limit is 10 in-flight requests. Do not fan out more than that.
5. 5Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/ideogram.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ideogram loads about 826 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 284 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~60

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~826

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
