imagegen

A tool for creating or changing bitmap images such as photos, illustrations, mockups, game assets, and transparent-background cutouts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps generate new images, edit existing ones, create design variants, and make assets for websites, games, interfaces, products, wireframes, logos, or infographics.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent produce or edit visual files when the project needs image assets rather than only code or vector graphics.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

imagegen scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/image_gen.py, scripts/remove_chroma_key.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to imagegen — 67 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Image Generation Skill

Generates or edits images for the current project (for example website assets, game assets, UI mockups, product mockups, wireframes, logo design, photorealistic images, or infographics).

Top-level modes and rules

This skill has exactly two top-level modes:

  • Default built-in tool mode (preferred): built-in image_gen tool for normal image generation, editing, and simple transparent-image requests. Does not require OPENAI_API_KEY.
  • Fallback CLI mode: scripts/image_gen.py CLI. Use when the user explicitly asks for the CLI/API/model path, or after the user explicitly confirms a true model-native transparency fallback with gpt-image-1.5. Requires OPENAI_API_KEY.

Within CLI fallback, the CLI exposes three subcommands:

  • generate
  • edit
  • generate-batch

Rules:

  • Use the built-in image_gen tool by default for normal image generation and editing requests.
  • Do not switch to CLI fallback for ordinary quality, size, or file-path control.
  • If the user explicitly asks for a transparent image/background, stay on built-in image_gen first: prompt for a flat removable chroma-key background, then remove it locally with the installed helper at $CODEX_HOME/skills/.system/imagegen/scripts/remove_chroma_key.py.
  • Never silently switch from built-in image_gen or CLI gpt-image-2 to CLI gpt-image-1.5. Treat this as a model/path downgrade and ask the user before doing it, unless the user has already explicitly requested gpt-image-1.5, scripts/image_gen.py, or CLI fallback.
  • If a transparent request appears too complex for clean chroma-key removal, asks for true/native transparency, or local removal fails validation, explain that true transparency requires CLI gpt-image-1.5 --background transparent --output-format png because gpt-image-2 does not support background=transparent, then ask whether to proceed. Run the CLI fallback only after the user confirms.
  • The word batch by itself does not mean CLI fallback. If the user asks for many assets or says to batch-generate assets without explicitly asking for CLI/API/model controls, stay on the built-in path and issue one built-in call per requested asset or variant.
  • If the built-in tool fails or is unavailable, tell the user the CLI fallback exists and that it requires OPENAI_API_KEY. Proceed only if the user explicitly asks for that fallback.
  • If the user explicitly asks for CLI mode, use the bundled scripts/image_gen.py workflow. Do not create one-off SDK runners.
  • Never modify scripts/image_gen.py. If something is missing, ask the user before doing anything else.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
