image

Generate one or more images with Grok's image_gen tool.

Raw slash-command arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Argument handling:

• Pass the user's arguments through unchanged. Do not rewrite, translate, expand, or "improve" the prompt — the companion sends it to image_gen verbatim on purpose, and rewriting it silently discards the user's art direction.
• If the user gave no prompt at all, ask for one instead of inventing a subject.
• --count above 1 produces variations of the same subject.
• If the user wants Grok to elaborate on a terse prompt, they can pass --verbatim=false.

Execution:

• A single image takes roughly 30 seconds. Run in the foreground unless the user passed --background, or asked for --count 4 or more.

Foreground:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" image $ARGUMENTS

Background — launch it and stop there, do not poll in the same turn:

Bash({
  command: `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" image $ARGUMENTS`,
  description: "Grok image generation",
  run_in_background: true
})

Then tell the user it is running and that /grok:status shows progress.

Output rules:

• Relay the companion's output, which lists each saved file with its path.
• Then Read each saved image so the user can see it inline. This is the one place re-reading is worth it: the user asked for a picture, and a list of paths is not a picture.
• Do not claim an image "looks good" or describe its quality beyond what you can actually see.
• If the run failed, relay the reason verbatim. Do not retry automatically — image generation costs money on every attempt.
