Pre-flight Checks

前期检查

Before doing anything, verify the API key is available. The script checks for

GEMINI_API_KEY

in this order:

Environment variable (
```
GEMINI_API_KEY
```
)
```
.env
```
file in the current working directory (only reads
```
GEMINI_API_KEY
```
, ignores other variables)

If the key is not found in any of those, tell the user:

You need a Gemini API key. Get one free at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey then create a
.env
file in your project root:
GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here

Do NOT proceed until the key is confirmed.

在执行任何操作前，需确认API密钥可用。脚本会按以下顺序检查

GEMINI_API_KEY

：

环境变量（
```
GEMINI_API_KEY
```
）
当前工作目录下的
```
.env
```
文件（仅读取
```
GEMINI_API_KEY
```
，忽略其他变量）

若在上述位置均未找到密钥，请告知用户：

你需要一个Gemini API密钥。可前往https://aistudio.google.com/apikey免费获取，然后在项目根目录创建`.env`文件：
GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here

在确认密钥可用前，请勿继续操作。

Model Selection Logic

模型选择逻辑

You have two models available. Choose based on how much text will appear inside the generated image:

Condition	Model	Model ID	Approx. Cost
Image contains more than 5 words of visible text (posters, infographics, slides, signs with sentences)	Nano Banana Pro	`gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25`	~$0.13/image
Image contains 5 or fewer words of text, or no text at all (photos, illustrations, icons, scenes)	Nano Banana	`gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation`	~$0.039/image

How to count: Look at the user's prompt and estimate how many distinct words will be rendered as visible text inside the image. Only count words that should appear as readable text in the final image — not words describing the scene.

Examples:

"a cat sitting on a windowsill" → 0 text words → Nano Banana
"a coffee shop sign that says OPEN" → 1 text word → Nano Banana
"a motivational poster that says 'Believe in yourself every single day'" → 6 text words → Nano Banana Pro
"an infographic about 5 productivity tips" → many text words → Nano Banana Pro

Tell the user which model you chose and why (one short sentence).

你可使用两个模型，根据生成图片中可见文本的数量选择：

条件	模型	模型ID	大致成本
图片包含5个以上可见文本单词（海报、信息图、幻灯片、带句子的标识）	Nano Banana Pro	`gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25`	~$0.13/张
图片包含5个及以下文本单词，或无文本（照片、插图、图标、场景图）	Nano Banana	`gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation`	~$0.039/张

计数方式：查看用户的提示词，估算最终图片中需呈现为可读文本的不同单词数量。仅统计应在最终图片中显示为可读文本的单词——不包括描述场景的单词。

示例：

"一只猫坐在窗台上" → 0个文本单词 → Nano Banana
"一块写着OPEN的咖啡店标识" → 1个文本单词 → Nano Banana
"一张写着'Believe in yourself every single day'的励志海报" → 6个文本单词 → Nano Banana Pro
"一张关于5个 productivity tips的信息图" → 大量文本单词 → Nano Banana Pro

需用一句话告知用户你选择的模型及原因。

Always Ask Before Generating

生成前务必询问

Before generating any image, ask the user for:

Resolution — suggest these options:
- 1K (1024px) — fast, good for drafts
- 2K (2048px) — balanced quality
- 4K (4096px) — highest quality, slower
Aspect ratio — suggest common options:
- ```
1:1
```
  — square (social media posts, icons)
- ```
16:9
```
  — widescreen (hero images, presentations)
- ```
9:16
```
  — vertical (stories, mobile screens)
- ```
3:2
```
  — classic photo
- ```
4:3
```
  — standard display
- Or any custom ratio

If the user says "default" or doesn't care, use 2K and 16:9.

For image editing, also ask if they want to keep the original resolution/aspect ratio or change it.

在生成任何图片前，需向用户确认：

分辨率 — 建议以下选项：
- 1K（1024px）—— 速度快，适合草稿
- 2K（2048px）—— 画质均衡
- 4K（4096px）—— 最高画质，速度较慢
宽高比 — 建议常见选项：
- ```
1:1
```
  — 正方形（社交媒体帖子、图标）
- ```
16:9
```
  — 宽屏（首屏图、演示文稿）
- ```
9:16
```
  — 竖屏（故事类内容、移动端屏幕）
- ```
3:2
```
  — 经典照片比例
- ```
4:3
```
  — 标准显示比例
- 或自定义比例

若用户选择“默认”或无要求，使用2K和16:9。

对于图片编辑，还需询问用户是否保留原分辨率/宽高比，或进行修改。

Generation Flow

生成流程

Once you have the prompt, model, resolution, and aspect ratio:

Craft an optimized prompt (apply tips from
```
references/prompt-guide.md
```
)
Write the prompt to a temporary file, then pass it via
```
--prompt-file
```
(this avoids shell injection — never pass the prompt as a CLI argument):

bash

cat > /tmp/image-prompt.txt << 'PROMPT_END'
your optimized prompt here
PROMPT_END

node "<skill-path>/scripts/generate.mjs" \
  --prompt-file /tmp/image-prompt.txt \
  --model "gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation" \
  --size "2K" \
  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \
  --output "./descriptive-filename.png"

Replace

<skill-path>

with the actual path to this skill's directory.

The script automatically deletes the temp prompt file after reading it.

Run the command via Bash
Report the result: file path and which model was used

在获取提示词、模型、分辨率和宽高比后：

编写优化后的提示词（参考
```
references/prompt-guide.md
```
中的技巧）
将提示词写入临时文件，再通过
```
--prompt-file
```
传递（避免Shell注入——切勿将提示词作为CLI参数直接传递）：

bash

cat > /tmp/image-prompt.txt << 'PROMPT_END'
你的优化提示词
PROMPT_END

node "<skill-path>/scripts/generate.mjs" \
  --prompt-file /tmp/image-prompt.txt \
  --model "gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation" \
  --size "2K" \
  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \
  --output "./descriptive-filename.png"

将

<skill-path>

替换为该Skill目录的实际路径。

脚本会在读取临时提示词文件后自动将其删除。

通过Bash运行命令
报告结果：文件路径及使用的模型

Size Values

尺寸参数

Pass the size label directly:

1K

2K

, or

4K

直接传递尺寸标签：

1K

、

2K

或

4K

。

Image Editing Flow

图片编辑流程

When the user wants to edit an existing image:

Confirm the image file exists (use Read tool to verify the path)
Ask for edit instructions, resolution, and aspect ratio
Write prompt to temp file and run with
```
--input-image
```
flag:

bash

cat > /tmp/image-prompt.txt << 'PROMPT_END'
edit instructions here
PROMPT_END

node "<skill-path>/scripts/generate.mjs" \
  --prompt-file /tmp/image-prompt.txt \
  --model "gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation" \
  --size "2K" \
  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \
  --input-image "./original.png" \
  --output "./original-edited.png"

Only image files are accepted for

--input-image

(.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif). The script validates both the extension and the file's magic bytes.

For edits, default to Nano Banana unless the edit adds significant text.

当用户需要编辑现有图片时：

确认图片文件存在（使用读取工具验证路径）
询问编辑指令、分辨率和宽高比
将提示词写入临时文件，添加
```
--input-image
```
参数运行：

bash

cat > /tmp/image-prompt.txt << 'PROMPT_END'
编辑指令
PROMPT_END

node "<skill-path>/scripts/generate.mjs" \
  --prompt-file /tmp/image-prompt.txt \
  --model "gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation" \
  --size "2K" \
  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \
  --input-image "./original.png" \
  --output "./original-edited.png"

--input-image

仅接受图片文件（.png、.jpg、.jpeg、.webp、.gif）。脚本会同时验证文件扩展名和魔术字节。

编辑操作默认使用Nano Banana，除非编辑需要添加大量文本。

Prompt Engineering Tips

提示词工程技巧

Refer to

references/prompt-guide.md

for detailed guidance. Key principles:

Be specific: "a golden retriever puppy playing in autumn leaves, soft afternoon light" beats "a dog"
Include style: mention the visual style (photorealistic, watercolor, flat illustration, 3D render, etc.)
Describe lighting: natural light, studio lighting, golden hour, dramatic shadows
Mention composition: close-up, wide angle, bird's eye view, centered subject
For text in images: put the exact text in quotes and keep it short — models handle 1-3 words best

参考

references/prompt-guide.md

获取详细指导。核心原则：

具体明确：“一只金毛幼犬在秋叶中玩耍，柔和的午后光线”比“一只狗”效果更好
指定风格：提及视觉风格（写实、水彩、扁平化插图、3D渲染等）
描述光线：自然光、影棚灯光、黄金时刻、戏剧性阴影
说明构图：特写、广角、鸟瞰、主体居中
图片中的文本：将确切文本用引号标注并保持简短——模型处理1-3个单词的效果最佳

Anti-patterns — What NOT to Do

反模式——切勿执行以下操作

Do NOT generate images without asking for resolution and aspect ratio first
Do NOT use Nano Banana Pro for images with little or no text (wastes money)
Do NOT write prompts that are too vague ("a nice picture")
Do NOT include negative prompts — these models don't support them well
Do NOT promise exact pixel dimensions — the models approximate
Do NOT try to generate NSFW, violent, or harmful content

未询问分辨率和宽高比就生成图片
为几乎无文本的图片使用Nano Banana Pro（浪费成本）
编写过于模糊的提示词（如“一张好看的图”）
使用负面提示词——这些模型对负面提示词的支持效果不佳
承诺精确的像素尺寸——模型仅能提供近似值
尝试生成NSFW、暴力或有害内容

Output Handling

输出处理

Save images to the current working directory unless the user specifies a path

Use descriptive kebab-case filenames (e.g.,

sunset-over-mountains.png

sleep-tips-infographic.png

)

For edits, append
```
-edited
```
to the original filename
Always report the full file path after generation
Do NOT attempt to open or display the image — just report the path

除非用户指定路径，否则将图片保存至当前工作目录
使用描述性的短横线命名法文件名（如
```
sunset-over-mountains.png
```
、
```
sleep-tips-infographic.png
```
）
编辑后的图片在原文件名后追加
```
-edited
```
生成后务必报告完整文件路径
请勿尝试打开或显示图片——仅报告路径
