What is nano-banana-image-editor?

An image tool that creates or changes pictures from written instructions. It can also use reference images to keep characters or styles consistent.

Use it to create illustrations, icons, and infographics, or to remove objects, change backgrounds, crop images, add text, and apply artistic styles.

It lets you describe an image change in ordinary language instead of editing every detail by hand.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00091	$0.04551
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.02276
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00910
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00455

Security

Grade A, and why

nano-banana-image-editor 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/create_image.py, scripts/edit_image.py, scripts/gemini_image.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 440 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Editor

This skill enables AI-powered image editing and creation using Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image model (nicknamed "Nano Banana Pro"). It allows editing existing images or creating new images from scratch through natural language instructions.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users request:

Generate icons, images, and illustrations
Removing text, logos, or watermarks from images
Removing speaker overlays or video conference windows from slides
Changing backgrounds, objects, or colors
Cropping, resizing, or adjusting image composition
Adding or modifying visual elements
Style transfers or artistic transformations
Any image manipulation describable in natural language

Prerequisites

If needed, run the following script to install dependencies:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/scripts/install_dependencies.sh

This creates a Python virtual environment and installs the required packages (google-genai, Pillow).

Virtual environment location:

Default: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/.venv/
Override: Set NANO_BANANA_VENV env var for multi-platform support (e.g., Docker containers)

API Key Setup:

Get an API key from Google AI Studio

Run the setup script to save the key to the plugin config:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/.venv/bin/${NANO_BANANA_VENV:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/.venv}/bin/python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/scripts/setup-gemini-token.py YOUR_API_KEY

The script will:

Test the API key to verify it works
Save it to .nano-banana-config.json in the plugin directory
Confirm that Gemini 3 Pro Image model is available

All script examples below use ${NANO_BANANA_VENV:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/nano-banana-image-editor/.venv}/bin/python3 to ensure the venv's Python interpreter is used.

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
