About

AI image generation with OpenAI GPT Image 2.5, Azure OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, DashScope, Z.AI GLM-Image, MiniMax, Jimeng, Seedream, Replicate and Agnes APIs. Supports text-to-image, reference images, aspect ratios, and batch generation from saved prompt files. Sequential by default; use batch parallel generation when the user already has multiple prompts or wants stable multi-image throughput. Use when user asks to generate, create, or draw images.

Use cases: cloud, agent-building, image-generation

# Image Generation (AI SDK)

Official API-based image generation. Supports OpenAI GPT Image 2.5, Azure OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, DashScope (阿里通义万象), Z.AI GLM-Image, MiniMax, Jimeng (即梦), Seedream (豆包), Replicate and Agnes.

## User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent.
2. **Fallback**: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
3. **Batching**: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete `AskUserQuestion` references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

## Script Directory

`{baseDir}` = this SKILL.md's directory. All `scripts/...` paths below are relative to `{baseDir}`. Main script: `{baseDir}/scripts/main.ts`. Batch payload helper: `{baseDir}/scripts/build-batch.ts`. Resolve `${BUN_X}`: prefer `bun`; else `npx -y bun`; else suggest `brew install oven-sh/bun/bun`.

## Step 0: Load Preferences ⛔ BLOCKING

This step MUST complete before any image generation — generation is blocked until EXTEND.md exists.

Check these paths in order; first hit wins:

| Path | Scope |
|------|-------|
| `.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md` | Project |
| `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md` | XDG |
| `$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md` | User home |

- **Found** → load, parse, apply. If `default_model.[provider]` is null → ask model only.
- **Not found** → run first-time setup (`references/config/first-time-setup.md`) using AskUserQuestion to collect provider + model + quality + save location. Save EXTEND.md, then continue. Do not generate images before this completes.

Legacy compatibility: if `.baoyu-skills/baoyu-imagine/EXTEND.md` exists and the new path doesn't, the runtime renames it to `baoyu-image-gen`. If both exist, the runtime leaves them alone and uses the new path.

**EXTEND.md keys**: default provider, default quality, default aspect ratio, default image size, OpenAI image API dialect, default models, batch worker cap, provider-specific batch limits. Schema: `references/config/preferences-schema.md`.

## Usage

Minimum working examples — see `references/usage-examples.md` for the full set including per-provider invocations and batch mode.

### Identity-preserving reference prompts

When the user wants a real person/character/object preserved from reference images, do **not** replace the reference with a long generic description. Prefer short, hard identity-preservation language:

- "Use the person/object in the reference image(s) as the same identity. Do not redesign it or create a similar-looking new subject."
- "Only change scene, clothing, pose, lighting, rendering style, and composition. Keep the face/proportions/hair/key accessories/overall identity from the references."
- If using multiple references, state that they are the same subject and should jointly define identity.

Pitfall: long descriptions like "young East Asian woman, oval face, clear eyes..." can cause the model to synthesize a new person matching the description instead of preserving the referenced person.

```bash
# Basic
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image cat.png

# With aspect ratio and high quality
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A landscape" --image out.png --ar 16:9 --quality 2k

# Prompt from files
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --promptfiles system.md content.md --image out.png

# With reference image
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make blue" --image out.png --ref source.png

# Specific provider
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider dashscope --model qwen-image-2.0-pro

# OpenAI GPT Image 2
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider openai --model gpt-image-2.5-flare

# Codex CLI (uses logged-in Codex subscription — no OPENAI_API_KEY required; requires `codex` on PATH)
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider codex-cli --ar 16:9

# Batch mode
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --batchfile batch.json --jobs 4

# Build a batch file from outline.md + prompts/ (e.g. baoyu-article-illustrator output)
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/build-batch.ts --outline outline.md --prompts prompts --output batch.json --images-dir attachments
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --batchfile batch.json --jobs 4
```

## Reference-Image Identity Preservation

When the user wants a person/object preserved from reference images:

- Prefer a small curated set of existing source references (usually 2–4) over many images; large multi-megabyte refs can destabilize streaming providers.
- Make the prompt say the references are the same subject and the output must use that identity. Avoid long generic facial-feature descriptions that can cause the model to synthesize a new similar-looking person.
- Do not use newly generated outputs as references unless the user explicitly asks; generated refs compound drift.
- If results become too polished or influencer-like, reduce stylized refs and add explicit anti-beautification constraints (no face slimming, eye enlargement, heavy makeup, commercial travel shoot, over-smoothing).
- If the subject should look younger/older, preserve the face and express age through clothing, posture, scene, and styling; do not ask the model to change facial identity.

## Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--prompt <text>`, `-p` | Prompt text |
| `--promptfiles <files...>` | Read prompt from files (concatenated) |
| `--image <path>` | Output image path (required in single-image mode) |
| `--batchfile <path>` | JSON batch file for multi-image generation |
| `--jobs <count>` | Worker count for batch mode (default: auto, max from config, built-in default 10) |
| `--provider google\|openai\|azure\|openrouter\|dashscope\|zai\|minimax\|jimeng\|seedream\|replicate\|codex-cli\|agnes` | Force provider (default: auto-detect; `codex-cli` is never auto-selected — must be pinned via CLI or EXTEND.md) |
| `--model <id>`, `-m` | Model ID — see provider references for defaults and allowed values |
| `--ar <ratio>` | Aspect ratio (`16:9`, `1:1`, `4:3`, …) |
| `--size <WxH>` | Explicit size (e.g., `1024x1024`; for `gpt-image-2.5-*` and `gpt-image-2`, width/height must be multiples of 16, max edge 3840px, ratio no wider than 3:1) |
| `--quality normal\|2k` | Quality preset (default: `2k`) |
| `--imageSize 1K\|2K\|4K` | Image size for Google/OpenRouter (default: from quality) |
| `--imageApiDialect openai-native\|ratio-metadata` | OpenAI-compatible endpoint dialect — use `ratio-metadata` for gateways that expect aspect-ratio `size` plus `metadata.resolution` |
| `--ref <files...>` | Reference images. Supported by Google multimodal, OpenAI GPT Image edits, Azure OpenAI edits (PNG/JPG only), OpenRouter multimodal models, Replicate supported families, MiniMax subject-reference, Seedream 5.0/4.5/4.0, DashScope `wan2.7-image-pro`/`wan2.7-image`. Not supported by Jimeng, Seedream 3.0, SeedEdit 3.0, or any DashScope model outside the `wan2.7-image*` family |
| `--n <count>` | Number of images. Replicate requires `--n 1` (single-output save semantics) |
| `--json` | JSON output |

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI API key |
| `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` | Azure OpenAI API key |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | OpenRouter API key |
| `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | Google API key |
