Image Generation (AI SDK)

Official API-based image generation. Supports OpenAI and Google providers.

Script Directory

Agent Execution:

1. SKILL_DIR = this SKILL.md file's directory
2. Script path = ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts

Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

EXTEND.md Supports: Default provider | Default quality | Default aspect ratio

Usage

# Basic
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image cat.png

# With aspect ratio
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A landscape" --image out.png --ar 16:9

# High quality
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --quality 2k

# From prompt files
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --promptfiles system.md content.md --image out.png

# With reference images (Google multimodal only)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make blue" --image out.png --ref source.png

# Specific provider
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider openai

Options

Environment Variables

Load Priority: CLI args > env vars > <cwd>/.baoyu-skills/.env > ~/.baoyu-skills/.env

Provider Selection

1. --provider specified → use it
2. Only one API key available → use that provider
3. Both available → default to Google

Quality Presets

Google imageSize: Can be overridden with --imageSize 1K|2K|4K

Aspect Ratios

Supported: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2.35:1

• Google multimodal: uses imageConfig.aspectRatio
• Google Imagen: uses aspectRatio parameter
• OpenAI: maps to closest supported size

Parallel Generation

Supports concurrent image generation via background subagents for batch operations.

Agent Implementation:

# Launch multiple generations in parallel using Task tool
# Each Task runs as background subagent with run_in_background=true
# Collect results via TaskOutput when all complete

Best Practice: When generating 4+ images, spawn background subagents (recommended 4 concurrent) instead of sequential execution.

Error Handling

• Missing API key → error with set
