Kheish Compatibility

This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.

When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:

• terminal => bash
• web_extract => web_fetch, plus web_search when discovery is needed
• search_files => grep_search and glob_search
• browser_* tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly

When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.

Stable Diffusion Image Generation

Comprehensive guide to generating images with Stable Diffusion using the HuggingFace Diffusers library.

When to use Stable Diffusion

Use Stable Diffusion when:

• Generating images from text descriptions
• Performing image-to-image translation (style transfer, enhancement)
• Inpainting (filling in masked regions)
• Outpainting (extending images beyond boundaries)
• Creating variations of existing images
• Building custom image generation workflows

Key features:

• Text-to-Image: Generate images from natural language prompts
• Image-to-Image: Transform existing images with text guidance
• Inpainting: Fill masked regions with context-aware content
• ControlNet: Add spatial conditioning (edges, poses, depth)
• LoRA Support: Efficient fine-tuning and style adaptation
• Multiple Models: SD 1.5, SDXL, SD 3.0, Flux support

Use alternatives instead:

• DALL-E 3: For API-based generation without GPU
• Midjourney: For artistic, stylized outputs
• Imagen: For Google Cloud integration
• Leonardo.ai: For web-based creative workflows

Quick start

Installation

pip install diffusers transformers accelerate torch
pip install xformers  # Optional: memory-efficient attention

Basic text-to-image

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

# Load pipeline (auto-detects model type)
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)
pipe.to("cuda")

# Generate image
image = pipe(
    "A serene mountain landscape at sunset, highly detailed",
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=7.5
).images[0]

image.save("output.png")
