image_gen

A set of instructions for generating new images with OpenAI's Images API, including illustrations, logos, artwork, and other visual designs. It lists supported command options such as model, size, quality, and style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new visual from a text prompt, such as a logo, illustration, banner, or scene. It can also guide selection of image model, dimensions, quality, and style.
Why use it?
It explains when image generation is appropriate and when another tool should be used, such as for editing an existing image or converting formats. It also describes the required API-key setup.

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

image_gen 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (generate.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.

Image Generation

Generate images via the OpenAI Images API.

When to Use

USE this skill when:

  • "Generate an image of a sunset over mountains"
  • "Create a logo for my project"
  • "Draw a cartoon cat wearing a hat"
  • "Design a banner for my blog"
  • "Make me an illustration of X"

When NOT to Use

DON'T use this skill when:

  • Editing or modifying existing images → use image editing tools
  • Screenshot capture → use system screenshot tools
  • Image format conversion → use run_command with ImageMagick/Pillow
  • Web image search → use web_search tool

Setup

Requires an OpenAI API key with Images API access.

Configure in pythonclaw.json:

"skills": {
  "image_gen": {
    "apiKey": "sk-your-openai-key"
  }
}

Or set OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

Commands

Generate an image

python {skill_path}/generate.py "a serene mountain lake at sunset, watercolor style"

Options

# Specific model
python {skill_path}/generate.py "prompt" --model dall-e-3

# Size options
python {skill_path}/generate.py "prompt" --size 1792x1024

# Quality
python {skill_path}/generate.py "prompt" --quality hd

# Style (dall-e-3 only)
python {skill_path}/generate.py "prompt" --style vivid

# Output directory
python {skill_path}/generate.py "prompt" --output ./images/

Model-Specific Parameters

DALL-E 3:

  • Sizes: 1024x1024, 1792x1024, 1024x1792
  • Quality: standard, hd
  • Style: vivid, natural
  • Generates 1 image at a time

DALL-E 2:

  • Sizes: 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024
  • Quality: standard only
  • Can generate multiple images

Notes

  • Output is saved as PNG files in the specified directory (default: current dir)
  • Each generation costs API credits (DALL-E 3 HD ~$0.08/image)
  • Prompts are sometimes rewritten by the API for safety
  • Use --style natural for more photographic results

What ships with it

1 file 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.
