generate-image

generate-image is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI image tool for creating or editing general-purpose pictures, illustrations, artwork, concept art, and other visual assets. It is intended for images rather than technical diagrams or schematics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate photos, illustrations, artwork, presentation visuals, concept art, or edits to an existing image.
Why use it?
It removes the need to create every visual from scratch or edit images manually for simple changes. It can also produce visual starting points from a written description.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is python scripts/generate_image.py "A beautiful sunset over mountains".

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

generate-image 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 2d 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.

Generate Image

Generate and edit high-quality images using OpenRouter's image generation models including FLUX.2 Pro and Gemini 3 Pro.

When to Use This Skill

Use generate-image for:

  • Photos and photorealistic images
  • Artistic illustrations and artwork
  • Concept art and visual concepts
  • Visual assets for presentations or documents
  • Image editing and modifications
  • Any general-purpose image generation needs

Use scientific-schematics instead for:

  • Flowcharts and process diagrams
  • Circuit diagrams and electrical schematics
  • Biological pathways and signaling cascades
  • System architecture diagrams
  • CONSORT diagrams and methodology flowcharts
  • Any technical/schematic diagrams

Quick Start

Use the scripts/generate_image.py script to generate or edit images:

# Generate a new image
python scripts/generate_image.py "A beautiful sunset over mountains"

# Edit an existing image
python scripts/generate_image.py "Make the sky purple" --input photo.jpg

This generates/edits an image and saves it as generated_image.png in the current directory.

API Key Setup

CRITICAL: The script requires an OpenRouter API key. Before running, check if the user has configured their API key:

  1. Look for a .env file in the project directory or parent directories
  2. Check for OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<key> in the .env file
  3. If not found, inform the user they need to:
    • Create a .env file with OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    • Or set the environment variable: export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    • Get an API key from: https://openrouter.ai/keys

The script will automatically detect the .env file and provide clear error messages if the API key is missing.

Model Selection

Default model: google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview (high quality, recommended)

Available models for generation and editing:

  • google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview - High quality, supports generation + editing
  • black-forest-labs/flux.2-pro - Fast, high quality, supports generation + editing

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.
