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

gemini-nano-banana-2 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.

Gemini Nano Banana 2 - Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing ones using Google's Gemini Nano Banana 2 model (gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview) via the Gemini API. This is the latest and most capable Gemini image model, featuring advanced reasoning ("Thinking") with controllable levels, high-fidelity text rendering, Google Web + Image Search grounding, output from 512 up to 4K resolution, and 14 aspect ratios.

Usage

Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to skill directory first):

Generate new image:

uv run ~/.claude/skills/gemini-nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "your image description" --filename "output.png" [--aspect-ratio 1:1|1:4|1:8|2:3|3:2|3:4|4:1|4:3|4:5|5:4|8:1|9:16|16:9|21:9] [--resolution 512|1K|2K|4K] [--output-format png|webp|jpeg] [--response-modality text-and-image|image-only] [--thinking-level minimal|high] [--google-search] [--image-search] [--yes] [--cost-threshold 0.10] [--api-key KEY]

Edit existing image:

uv run ~/.claude/skills/gemini-nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "editing instructions" --filename "output.png" --input-image "path/to/input.png" [--aspect-ratio 1:1] [--resolution 2K] [--api-key KEY]

Edit with multiple reference images (compositing/style transfer, up to 14 images):

uv run ~/.claude/skills/gemini-nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "combine the subject from first image with the style of second image" --filename "output.png" --input-image "subject.png" --input-image "style-ref.png" [--resolution 2K] [--api-key KEY]

Generate with Google Web Search grounding (real-time data):

uv run ~/.claude/skills/gemini-nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "visualize the current weather forecast for San Francisco" --filename "output.png" --google-search --aspect-ratio 16:9 [--api-key KEY]

Generate with Google Image Search grounding (visual reference from the web):

uv run ~/.claude/skills/gemini-nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "a detailed painting of a resplendent quetzal bird resting on a flower" --filename "output.png" --image-search [--api-key KEY]

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
