Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00113 | $0.05264 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.02632 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00526 |
Grade A, and why
imagegen 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to imagegen — 67 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 357 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Image Generation Skill
Generates or edits images for the current project (for example website assets, game assets, UI mockups, product mockups, wireframes, logo design, photorealistic images, or infographics).
Top-level modes and rules
This skill has exactly two top-level modes:
- Default built-in tool mode (preferred): built-in
image_gentool for normal image generation, editing, and simple transparent-image requests. Does not requireOPENAI_API_KEY. - Fallback CLI mode:
scripts/image_gen.pyCLI. Use when the user explicitly asks for the CLI/API/model path, or after the user explicitly confirms a true model-native transparency fallback withgpt-image-1.5. RequiresOPENAI_API_KEY.
Within CLI fallback, the CLI exposes three subcommands:
generateeditgenerate-batch
Rules:
- Use the built-in
image_gentool by default for normal image generation and editing requests. - Do not switch to CLI fallback for ordinary quality, size, or file-path control.
- If the user explicitly asks for a transparent image/background, stay on built-in
image_genfirst: prompt for a flat removable chroma-key background, then remove it locally with the installed helper at$CODEX_HOME/skills/.system/imagegen/scripts/remove_chroma_key.py. - Never silently switch from built-in
image_genor CLIgpt-image-2to CLIgpt-image-1.5. Treat this as a model/path downgrade and ask the user before doing it, unless the user has already explicitly requestedgpt-image-1.5,scripts/image_gen.py, or CLI fallback. - If a transparent request appears too complex for clean chroma-key removal, asks for true/native transparency, or local removal fails validation, explain that true transparency requires CLI
gpt-image-1.5 --background transparent --output-format pngbecausegpt-image-2does not supportbackground=transparent, then ask whether to proceed. Run the CLI fallback only after the user confirms. - The word
batchby itself does not mean CLI fallback. If the user asks for many assets or says to batch-generate assets without explicitly asking for CLI/API/model controls, stay on the built-in path and issue one built-in call per requested asset or variant. - If the built-in tool fails or is unavailable, tell the user the CLI fallback exists and that it requires
OPENAI_API_KEY. Proceed only if the user explicitly asks for that fallback. - If the user explicitly asks for CLI mode, use the bundled
scripts/image_gen.pyworkflow. Do not create one-off SDK runners. - Never modify
scripts/image_gen.py. If something is missing, ask the user before doing anything else.

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.

imagegen is a skill published in the GitHub repository MikeManifold/codex-unified (2 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 5,264 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to imagegen, differing in 67 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Perform the repository's risk-tiered independent final review before implementation completion. Use only when explicitly invoked or when repository instructions require it after behavior-impacting implementation work; audit the complete task diff, supported contracts, lifecycle and security boundaries, complexity, and…
deploy-docker-compose
Run the Omnigent server as a Docker compose stack (server + Postgres) on any Docker host — your laptop, a VPS, EC2 by hand, or as the base layer of any container-platform deploy. Invoke when the user wants to build the image, bring up the compose stack, debug the stack on a host they already have, or extend the stack…
prompt-optimization
Improve a prompt on the evaluations workbench through a measured loop. Score the baseline first, then duplicate the target column, form a hypothesis from failing rows, edit the copy's prompt draft, run, compare pass rate and cost, and repeat until the numbers hold. Use when the user asks to optimize or improve a…
debug-with-langwatch
Root-cause production errors and misbehaving agent runs with LangWatch. Finds errored traces, inspects spans, checks monitor and evaluator scores, then narrows to a root cause. Use when something is failing or misbehaving in production (errors, bad answers, latency spikes).
