A skill for obtaining image files by generating them with AI, finding openly licensed images online, or cutting separate elements from an image sheet.

Use it to generate images from prompts, download suitable openly licensed stock images, or split a generated sheet into individual files.

It brings image creation, sourcing, and basic extraction into one repeatable workflow when a project needs bitmap assets.

image-gen — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by open-octo

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add open-octo/octo-agent --skill image-gen

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/open-octo/octo-agent

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Rogue Agent · line 64
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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00142	$0.03158
Opus 5	$0.00071	$0.01579
Sonnet 5	$0.00028	$0.00632
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00316

Security

Grade A, and why

image-gen 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Generation & Sourcing

Produce image files on disk through one of three acquisition paths. This skill is the single home for image acquisition — other skills delegate to it rather than embedding their own copy.

Path	Script	Output status	What it does
AI generation	`scripts/image_gen.py`	`Generated`	Text prompt → rendered image via a configured provider backend
Web search	`scripts/image_search.py`	`Sourced`	Query → best openly-licensed match downloaded, with attribution recorded
Slice	`scripts/slice_images.py`	`Generated`	One generated grid "sheet" → N individual element files

All <skill-dir>/... paths below are relative to this skill's own directory (its absolute path is in the location header injected when the skill loads), not the user's working directory. There is no persistent CWD across terminal calls — pass absolute paths for --output and inputs.

Preflight

Run scripts with uv run — every script carries PEP 723 inline dependency metadata, so uv run <skill-dir>/scripts/<name>.py … auto-installs exactly what that script needs into an ephemeral, cached environment. No pip install, no venv, nothing left behind. uv ships with the octo installer; if it's somehow missing, the fallback is pip install -r <skill-dir>/requirements.txt once, then run the scripts with python3.
Configure a backend for AI generation. Set IMAGE_BACKEND and the provider's own key (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY) in the process environment, or in a .env file — see <skill-dir>/.env.example for every provider's variables and the .env lookup order. uv run <skill-dir>/scripts/image_gen.py --list-backends prints what's available. Web search (image_search.py) needs no key for CC0/public-domain providers; Pexels/Pixabay use their own keys if you want those sources.

What ships with it

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.

image-gen is a skill published in the GitHub repository open-octo/octo-agent (97 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 3,158 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
