🎨 Image Generation Skill

Use when: User asks to generate, draw, create, or make any kind of image, photo, illustration, icon, logo, or artwork.

Generate images with 8 state-of-the-art AI models. This skill automatically picks the best model for the job and handles all the complexity — including Midjourney's async polling — so you can focus on the conversation.

How to Generate an Image

Step 1 — Enhance the prompt

Before calling the script, expand the user's prompt with style, lighting, and quality descriptors appropriate for the chosen model.

• Midjourney: Add cinematic lighting , ultra detailed , --v 7 , --style raw

• Flux: Add masterpiece , highly detailed , sharp focus , professional photography

• Ideogram: Be explicit about text content, font style, and layout

• Recraft: Specify vector illustration , flat design , icon style

Step 2 — Run the script

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model <model_id>
--prompt "<enhanced prompt>"
--aspect-ratio <ratio>

All parameters:

Parameter Default Description

--model

flux-dev

Model ID from the table above

--prompt

(required) The image generation prompt

--aspect-ratio

1:1

1:1 , 16:9 , 9:16 , 4:3 , 3:4 , 3:2 , 21:9

--num-images

1

Number of images (1–4; Midjourney always returns 4)

--negative-prompt

— Things to avoid (not supported by Midjourney)

--seed

— Seed for reproducibility

Step 3 — Return the result

The script always waits and returns the final image URL(s). No polling required.

{ "success": true, "model": "flux-pro", "imageUrl": "https://...", "images": ["https://..."] }

Send the imageUrl to the user.

Midjourney Actions

After generating a 4-image grid with Midjourney, offer the user these options:

Upscale image #2 (subtle, preserves details)

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model midjourney
--action upscale
--index 2
--job-id <job_id>

Create a strong variation of image #3

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model midjourney
--action variation
--index 3
--job-id <job_id>
--variation-type 1

Regenerate with same prompt

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model midjourney
--action reroll
--job-id <job_id>

Upscale types: 0 = Subtle (default, best for photos), 1 = Creative (best for illustrations)

Variation types: 0 = Subtle (default), 1 = Strong (dramatic changes)

Example Conversations

User: "Draw a snow leopard on a snowy mountain with cinematic lighting"

Choose midjourney for artistic quality

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model midjourney
--prompt "a majestic snow leopard on a snowy mountain peak, cinematic lighting, dramatic atmosphere, ultra detailed --ar 16:9 --v 7"
--aspect-ratio 16:9

🎨 Done! Which one to upscale? (U1-U4) Or create a variant? (V1-V4)

User: "Use Flux to generate a perfume product poster, white background"

Choose flux-pro for photorealistic product shots

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model flux-pro
--prompt "a luxury perfume bottle on a clean white background, professional product photography, soft shadows, 8k, highly detailed"
--aspect-ratio 3:4

User: "Show me a quick draft"

flux-schnell for instant previews

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model flux-schnell
--prompt "..."
--aspect-ratio 1:1

User: "Make me an App icon, flat style, blue theme"

recraft for vector/icon style

node {baseDir}/tools/generate.js
--model recraft
--prompt "a minimal flat design app icon, blue color scheme, simple geometric shapes, vector style, white background"

Setup

Zero API keys needed! All requests go through a hosted proxy that handles authentication server-side.

The skill works out of the box — just install and use.

Advanced: Custom proxy or token

If you want to use your own proxy or a persistent token, set these environment variables:

{ "skills": { "entries": { "image-studio": { "enabled": true, "env": { "IMAGE_STUDIO_PROXY_URL": "https://your-proxy.vercel.app", "IMAGE_STUDIO_TOKEN": "your_token_here" } } } } }

Variable Required Description

IMAGE_STUDIO_PROXY_URL

No Custom proxy base URL (default: https://image-gen-proxy.vercel.app )

IMAGE_STUDIO_TOKEN

No Persistent token (auto-obtained if not set, 100 free uses per token)

To deploy your own proxy, see the audiomind proxy as a reference implementation. You'll need FAL_KEY and LEGNEXT_KEY as Vercel environment variables.

Changelog

• Unified output format: All models return the same { success, imageUrl, images } shape.

• Reference images for Nano Banana: Pass --reference-images "url1,url2" for character/style consistency across generations.

v1.3.0

• Added non-blocking async mode for Midjourney (--async

• --poll ).

v1.2.0

• Midjourney turbo mode enabled by default (~10-20s).

v1.1.0

• Switched Midjourney provider from TTAPI to Legnext.ai for better stability.

v1.0.0
