About this skill

InkOS Story Cover Design is a skill in Narcooo/inkos (10k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 286 tokens, with 1 other file in the folder (references). Licence: AGPL-3.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8fc2ae5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

InkOS Story Cover Design loads about 286 tokens when it runs, and up to ~538 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~286
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~538

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Story cover

Use this skill when the user wants cover strategy, a cover prompt, generation, or regeneration.

  • Start from the actual work: title, genre, protagonist, central conflict, emotional promise, platform, and display size.
  • Treat the user's visual instructions as authoritative. Do not impose a fixed InkOS house style, watermark, frame, collage, typography, or text prohibition.
  • Distinguish a mobile book cover, cinematic key art, interactive-world scene image, character image, and item image. They serve different purposes.
  • Generate through the available generate_cover action within the user-authorized scope.
  • Do not promise textual accuracy from an image model. If deterministic title layout is available, separate background generation from typography.
  • Keep the cover faithful to the finished content; do not advertise events absent from the story.
  • Respond in the user's language.

Load references/cover-brief.md when converting a manuscript into a production-ready visual brief.
