cursor-image-generation

cursor-image-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmcfarlane/oh-my-cursor. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,674 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for generating and refining raster images in Cursor from text descriptions or reference images. Raster images are pixel-based files such as PNGs and JPEGs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or iterate on icons, illustrations, interface mockups, diagrams, marketing visuals, and other bitmap assets in Cursor.
Why use it?
It helps turn a short or vague visual request into a more complete image prompt. This reduces missing details about style, size, colors, and text before generation.

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

cursor-image-generation 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.

Cursor image generation (Nano Banana Pro)

Generate images in the Cursor agent using the GenerateImage tool. Image generation is backed by Google Nano Banana Pro. Previews are saved under assets/ by default unless you specify otherwise.

This skill is about prompting and workflow, not about replacing Figma or vector code (use other skills for those).

Rough prompt in, strong prompt out

The user may give a short or vague request (“a hero for the login page”, “cyberpunk icon”). Do not pass that string raw to GenerateImage when it lacks the layers this skill describes. Instead:

  1. Infer or ask for missing constraints (medium, aspect ratio, style, brand colors, text to render).
  2. Rewrite the ask into one structured prompt (or a tight second pass) using the principles below.
  3. Call GenerateImage with the rewritten prompt only.

The skill is the contract: the agent’s job is to expand and sharpen the user’s intent before generation, then iterate with deltas.

When to use this skill

  • User asks for an image, icon, hero visual, diagram look, mockup still, or iteration on an existing generated image.
  • You need text in the image (titles, labels, buttons in a mockup).
  • User uploads a reference image and wants a variation or edit-style direction.

Core principles (Nano Banana / Gemini image family)

The bullets below are a condensed synthesis of common guidance for Nano Banana Pro / Gemini image models — not verbatim quotes. For authoritative wording and edge cases, use the References below.

They align with the spirit of Google’s public guides (prompt tips, Google Cloud guide, DeepMind prompt guide):

  1. Brief a human artist — Use clear, grammatical sentences. Avoid keyword soup ("cyber, 4k, hdr, epic") unless you deliberately want a tag-like aesthetic.
  2. Layer the description — Subject → action/pose → environment → camera (wide shot, isometric, macro) → lighting (soft window light, neon rim, overcast) → materials (brushed aluminum, matte paper, glass) → style (editorial photo, flat illustration, low-poly 3D render).
  3. Text in images — Put exact wording in double quotes and specify typography feel (e.g. "bold geometric sans", "narrow serif for headlines"). Ask for legibility and high contrast if the text is important.
  4. Aspect ratio and framing — State orientation (square, 16:9 landscape, 9:16 story) and safe margins if the asset will be cropped (e.g. app icon: centered subject, padding).
  5. Edit, don't always re-roll — If the image is roughly right, ask for specific changes ("change the background to warm beige", "make the logo 20% larger", "remove the extra person on the left") instead of a full new prompt.
  6. Reference images — When the user supplies a reference, describe what to keep (palette, mood, composition) and what to change so the model does not drift.

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.
