nano-banana

nano-banana is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas-Awesome-AgentSkills. It costs 3 tokens per session (795 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using Nano Banana, Gemini image models, Imagen-style tools, Google AI Studio, or Atlas Cloud to create or edit images. It covers provider choice, credentials, privacy, and image uploads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for text-to-image generation, editing images with local references, comparing available providers, and preparing an image-generation task.
Why use it?
It helps clarify which image service to use and what happens to prompts or uploaded images during generation. It also prevents starting an image task without the required access or budget information.

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

nano-banana 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.

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.

Nano Banana

When to Use

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to use Nano Banana, Gemini image models, Imagen-style generation/editing, Google AI Studio, or Atlas Cloud for image execution.

Use for:

  • Text-to-image through a configured provider.
  • Image editing with one or more local reference/source images.
  • Comparing provider availability, privacy, and cost before execution.
  • Running a generation/editing task after an image design brief is ready.

Do not use this skill as a generic prompt-writing guide. Use image-design for planning and route here only when execution through this provider is appropriate and available.

Provider And Privacy Rules

  1. Check which credentials are configured before choosing a provider.
  2. If multiple providers are configured, ask the user which to use unless cost/privacy preference is already clear.
  3. If no credentials are configured, provide setup guidance but do not ask the user to paste secrets into chat.
  4. Before uploading any local image, ask for explicit confirmation and state the destination provider.
  5. State that prompts and uploaded images may be sent to third-party services.
  6. Ask for budget limits before batch generation or high-resolution runs.
  7. Save outputs to a user-visible local directory and return output paths.

First Checks

Check environment variables without printing secret values:

test -n "$ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" && echo "ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY configured"
test -n "$GEMINI_API_KEY" && echo "GEMINI_API_KEY configured"

If the source skill's helper script is available in the local environment, prefer using it. Otherwise use the provider API documented for the user's configured provider.

Workflow

  1. Confirm task type: text-to-image or image edit.
  2. Confirm prompt, source/reference image paths, aspect ratio, resolution, output directory, and count.
  3. Choose provider:
    • Atlas Cloud when configured and acceptable to the user.
    • Google AI Studio / Gemini when configured and acceptable to the user.
    • no execution when credentials are missing; return setup guidance and prompt/brief instead.
  4. Confirm cost, upload, and privacy before execution.
  5. Submit the request.
  6. Poll or wait for the result if asynchronous.
  7. Download or save generated outputs.
  8. Verify file existence and return paths plus provider/task metadata.

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.
