nanobanana-skill

nanobanana-skill is a skill for Codex from feiskyer/codex-settings. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and editing images with Nanobanana, using a bundled command-line tool and Gemini image models. It includes text-based generation, image editing, reference-image composition, and style changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate new images, edit existing ones, combine reference images, create marketing graphics, or make visuals that need web-grounded information.
Why use it?
It explains when this image tool is appropriate and what setup it needs. This reduces uncertainty when an image task requires references, accurate text, or current web information.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

nanobanana-skill 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 26d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (nanobanana.py, tests/test_nanobanana.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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nanobanana Image Skill

Use the bundled nanobanana.py to generate or edit images with Gemini image models. The default path targets Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview) with thinking summaries and Google Search grounding on, because those defaults are the main reason to use this skill instead of a generic image prompt.

Requirements

  1. GEMINI_API_KEY in ~/.nanobanana.env (GEMINI_API_KEY=sk-dummy) or the shell environment.
  2. Python dependencies from requirements.txt.
  3. The executable is nanobanana.py in this same skill directory. Resolve its absolute path once before running it.

The CLI can print --help without credentials. It validates local input files before creating an API client and exits non-zero when the API returns no image.

Defaults

Model gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview, search grounding on, thinking summaries on at level high, resolution 1K, and no aspect ratio unless the request implies a shape. Do not make the user choose a model, search mode, or thinking mode unless they asked for that level of control.

Leaving aspect ratio unspecified is usually better for edits, because Gemini can match the input image shape. For text-only generation, set one only when the user implies a format such as poster, square post, banner, phone wallpaper, or ultrawide hero.

Worth overriding: --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview for very detail-heavy or typography-sensitive work (slower); --resolution 512px for quick ideation (Nanobanana 2 models only), 2K/4K for polished deliverables; --thinking-level low when latency beats refinement; search off when the user wants a purely imaginative result. Run python3 /absolute/path/to/nanobanana.py --help for the exact accepted values, including the full aspect-ratio and model lists.

Run it

python3 /absolute/path/to/nanobanana.py \

What ships with it

4 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.
