magnific-image-gen

magnific-image-gen is a skill for Claude Code from sideshowroberto/vfx-agent-toolkit. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,812 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Generates images with the Magnific MCP (default image tool, Nano Banana 2) - concept art, product shots, references, variations and folders; no upscaling. Use for 'generate image', 'generate refs', 'concept art', 'nb2', 'nano banana' or 'magnific folder' requests.

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

magnific-image-gen scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Magnific Image Generation Skill

Account Context

  • Preferred models: Nano Banana 2 Pro and Flash - use these by default for concept work
  • Check balance and plan coverage with account_balance if the user asks or before heavy batch runs (Pro unlimited plans cover NB2 at 1K/2K with no credit burn; 4K costs credits)

Two Rules Before Any Generation

  1. Confirm the destination folder. Team workspaces often have multiple similarly-named project folders (several people may each have created one for the same show). Before a batch run, state which folder you are generating into and confirm it - including the right subfolder (e.g. a per-artist subfolder). Never generate into the workspace root.
  2. On an auth/re-authorization error, stop - do not retry. Magnific MCP sessions expire mid-task. The error is not transient: tell the user to run /mcp and re-authenticate, then resume from where you left off (re-request any presigned upload URLs, which go stale).

Model Selection Protocol

Always check models before generating if the user has not specified one.

1. Call images_models_list (optionally with search= to filter)
2. Read agentRecommendation fields
3. Default to NB2 Pro (high quality) or NB2 Flash (faster iteration)
4. Only use other models if the user has a specific reason

Priority Models for This Account

Default: NB2 Pro (imagen-nano-banana-2) for everything. Only drop to Flash if the user explicitly asks for faster iteration.

Model Slug Speed Best For
Nano Banana 2 Pro [OK] DEFAULT imagen-nano-banana-2 ~50s All concept and final work - default choice
Nano Banana 2 Flash imagen-nano-banana-2-flash ~34s When user wants faster iteration or batch drafts
Cinematic cinematic ~46s Cinematic stills, when 4k quality is the priority
GPT 2 gpt-2 ~69s Text/typography/infographics (not photorealistic)
Flux.1 Kontext Max flux-kontext-high ~13s Quick edits with image refs when speed matters

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.
