generate-image

generate-image is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,611 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of generate-image, MIT.

An image-generation and editing tool for photos, illustrations, artwork, concepts, and other visual assets. Technical diagrams such as flowcharts and system architecture diagrams belong to a separate tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new image or edit an existing one, for example a presentation visual, illustration, photo, or concept image.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to create or modify general-purpose images without treating technical diagrams as ordinary artwork.

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

generate-image 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_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 — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Image

Generate and edit high-quality images using OpenRouter's image generation models including FLUX.2 Pro and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.

When to Use This Skill

Use generate-image for:

  • Photos and photorealistic images
  • Artistic illustrations and artwork
  • Concept art and visual concepts
  • Visual assets for presentations or documents
  • Image editing and modifications
  • Any general-purpose image generation needs

Use scientific-schematics instead for:

  • Flowcharts and process diagrams
  • Circuit diagrams and electrical schematics
  • Biological pathways and signaling cascades
  • System architecture diagrams
  • CONSORT diagrams and methodology flowcharts
  • Any technical/schematic diagrams

Quick Start

Use the scripts/generate_image.py script to generate or edit images:

# Generate a new image
python scripts/generate_image.py "A beautiful sunset over mountains"

# Edit an existing image
python scripts/generate_image.py "Make the sky purple" --input photo.jpg

This generates/edits an image and saves it as generated_image.png in the current directory.

API Key Setup

CRITICAL: The script requires an OpenRouter API key. Before running, check if the user has configured their API key:

  1. Look for a .env file in the project directory or parent directories
  2. Check for OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<key> in the .env file
  3. If not found, inform the user they need to:
    • Create a .env file with OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    • Or set the environment variable: export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    • Get an API key from: https://openrouter.ai/keys

The script will automatically detect the .env file and provide clear error messages if the API key is missing.

Model Selection

Default model: google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview (high quality, recommended)

Available models for generation and editing:

  • google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview - High quality, supports generation + editing
  • black-forest-labs/flux.2-pro - Fast, high quality, supports generation + editing

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.
