aiskillstore Image Generation (AI SDK)
Official API-based image generation. Supports OpenAI and Google providers.
Script Directory
Agent Execution:
SKILL_DIR= this SKILL.md file's directory- Script path =
${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts
Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

EXTEND.md Supports: Default provider | Default quality | Default aspect ratio
Usage
# Basic
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image cat.png
# With aspect ratio
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A landscape" --image out.png --ar 16:9
# High quality
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --quality 2k
# From prompt files
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --promptfiles system.md content.md --image out.png
# With reference images (Google multimodal only)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make blue" --image out.png --ref source.png
# Specific provider
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider openai

Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
OPENAI_API_KEY |
OpenAI API key |
GOOGLE_API_KEY |
Google API key |
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL |
OpenAI model override |
GOOGLE_IMAGE_MODEL |
Google model override |

Load Priority: CLI args > env vars > <cwd>/.baoyu-skills/.env > ~/.baoyu-skills/.env
Provider Selection
--providerspecified → use it- Only one API key available → use that provider
- Both available → default to Google
Quality Presets
| Preset | Google imageSize | OpenAI Size | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
normal |
1K | 1024px | Quick previews |
2k (default) |
2K | 2048px | Covers, illustrations, infographics |
Google imageSize: Can be overridden with --imageSize 1K|2K|4K
Aspect Ratios
Supported: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2.35:1
- Google multimodal: uses
imageConfig.aspectRatio - Google Imagen: uses
aspectRatioparameter - OpenAI: maps to closest supported size
Parallel Generation
Supports concurrent image generation via background subagents for batch operations.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended concurrency | 4 subagents |
| Max concurrency | 8 subagents |
| Use case | Batch generation (slides, comics, infographics) |
Agent Implementation:
# Launch multiple generations in parallel using Task tool
# Each Task runs as background subagent with run_in_background=true
# Collect results via TaskOutput when all complete
Best Practice: When generating 4+ images, spawn background subagents (recommended 4 concurrent) instead of sequential execution.
Error Handling
- Missing API key → error with setup instructions
- Generation failure → auto-retry once
- Invalid aspect ratio → warning, proceed with default
- Reference images with non-multimodal model → warning, ignore refs
Extension Support
Custom configurations via EXTEND.md. See Preferences section for paths and supported options.
