npx skills add OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills --skill generate-imageThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads generate-image when the request matches its description.
03

If it does not trigger, say “use the generate-image skill”. In Codex, type $generate-image.
AI Image Generation
Generate images from text prompts using OpenAI GPT Image (gpt-image-2 / gpt-image-1 / variants) or Stability AI (SD 3.5 Large).

Available OpenAI image models (verified live via /v1/models 2026-05-15)
| Model ID | Notes |
|---|---|
gpt-image-2 |
Flagship. Released 2026-04-21. Best prompt adherence, best photorealism. Default when image quality matters. |
gpt-image-2-2026-04-21 |
Pinned dated variant of gpt-image-2 |
gpt-image-1.5 |
Intermediate release between 1 and 2 |
gpt-image-1-mini |
Smaller/cheaper gpt-image-1 variant — use for batch/draft generation where cost matters |
gpt-image-1 |
Original gpt-image. Still works; superseded by gpt-image-2. |
chatgpt-image-latest |
Always-current alias of the model ChatGPT.com uses (currently gpt-image-2-class). Use when you want "whatever ChatGPT uses today" |
dall-e-3 |
Legacy fallback. Different quality semantics (standard/hd, not low/medium/high). |
Pass any of these to --model. The script branches on gpt-image* for the quality/format handling, so all gpt-image-* variants work out of the box.
Default in the script is now gpt-image-2 (the flagship) — pass --model gpt-image-1-mini for cheap batch/draft work.
Quick Usage
Generate with OpenAI gpt-image-2 (flagship)
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
--prompt "a sunset over mountains, oil painting style" \
--output ./sunset.png \
--model gpt-image-2 \
--quality high
Generate with default (gpt-image-2)
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
--prompt "a sunset over mountains, oil painting style" \
--output ./sunset.png
High quality
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
--prompt "modern logo design for a tech company" \
--output ./logo.png \
--size 1024x1024 \
--quality high
Wide format (good for blog covers, banners)
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
--prompt "abstract digital art with blue tones" \
--output ./banner.png \
--size 1536x1024
Tall format (good for mobile, stories)
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
--prompt "portrait of a futuristic city" \
