image-provider-routing

image-provider-routing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,167 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision guide for matching an image-generation provider to the job, such as text in an image, photorealism, vector artwork, or general art.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an image model for logos, banners, product shots, portraits, scenes, icons, SVG artwork, edits, or upscaling.
Why use it?
It removes the need to compare providers from scratch and explains why one provider fits a particular image type.

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-provider-routing 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 9d ago.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

image-provider-routing

Route an image generation job to the right provider based on job shape. Adapters are scaffold-tier (dry-run only) — selection produces a plan; execution waits on promotion per provider-lifecycle-discipline.

When to use

  • Choosing which image model fits a brief (logo, banner, photo, icon, general art).
  • Before calling any node_modules/@event4u/agent-config/src/scripts/ai-image/adapters/*.sh adapter.
  • When the user asks "which image model should I use?" or "route this image job."

Provider decision table

Job shape Provider Why
Text-in-image (logo, banner, typographic art) Ideogram Best glyph rendering; raster models garble text
Photoreal (product shot, portrait, scene) Flux Photorealism specialist; routed via fal/Replicate
Vector / SVG logo or icon Recraft Produces genuine <path> SVG; raster cannot
General art / edit / multimodal Gemini-image or GPT Image 2 Broad capability; natural-language prompts
Budget-conscious 4K upscale Flux via Replicate Cost-competitive at high resolution

Decision order: text-in-image → Ideogram; must-be-vector → Recraft; photoreal → Flux; everything else → Gemini-image (default) or GPT Image 2 (when OpenAI key available and editing an existing image).

Procedure

  1. Extract job shape from the brief: does it need embedded text? vector output? photorealistic rendering? or general illustration?
  2. Apply table — match the dominant shape to the provider row above.
  3. Check lifecycle tier — all adapters are experimental (scaffold). Surface this before any live invocation.
  4. Confirm with the user when shape is ambiguous (e.g., logo that could be vector OR raster typographic art → ask once).
  5. Emit the routing decision in the Output format below.

Output format

  1. Chosen provider — name + one-line rationale citing the job-shape match.
  2. Lifecycle-tier caveat — "adapter is experimental (scaffold tier); dry-run only until a smoke trace is captured per provider-lifecycle-discipline."
  3. Fallback — if the primary adapter is unavailable or the smoke trace is missing, name the next best provider and what changes.

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.
