cpa-gpt-image-2（CPA GPT 图像 2）

cpa-gpt-image-2

Use this skill when image generation should go through the CPA blog pattern: a normal text model invokes the image_generation tool over a compatible /v1/responses endpoint.

What this skill does

• sends a request to an OpenAI-compatible /v1/responses endpoint
• matches the CPA blog example request shape closely
• uses the image_generation tool
• defaults to model gpt-5.4
• prefers non-streaming mode by default for simpler and more stable parsing
• can switch to streaming mode when needed
• automatically retries short image rate-limit responses
• automatically retries transient tools: [] text fallbacks from the gateway
• keeps credentials in environment variables, never in the skill files

Important rule

Do not treat gpt-image-2 as the direct model on gateways that do not expose that model.

Correct pattern:

• use a normal model such as gpt-5.4
• pass tools: [{"type": "image_generation", "output_format": "png"}]
• let the gateway/tool layer decide whether image generation is available

Wrong pattern for this gateway:

• directly calling model gpt-image-2 when the provider does not publish that model

Default environment resolution

The script resolves credentials in this order.

Base URL:

• IMAGE_GEN_BASE_URL
• OTCBOT_BASE_URL
• CPA_BASE_URL
• OPENAI_BASE_URL
• fallback to OpenClaw models.json otcbot provider baseUrl

API key:

• IMAGE_GEN_KEY
• OTCBOT_API_KEY
• CPA_API_KEY
• OPENAI_API_KEY
• fallback to OpenClaw models.json otcbot provider apiKey

Model default:

• IMAGE_GEN_MODEL
• OTCBOT_IMAGE_MODEL
• CPA_MODEL
• fallback to current OpenClaw image/default model
• final fallback: gpt-5.4

Optional:

• IMAGE_GEN_OUTPUT_FORMAT — default png
• CPA_SESSION_ID — session id header value, default test-session
• CPA_USER_AGENT — custom user-agent header
• CPA_VERSION — request header version, default 0.122.0
• CPA_ORIGINATOR — request header originator, default codex_cli_rs

The script calls:

• ${BASE_URL%/}/v1/responses

Default execution path

Use the bundled script:

python3 skills/cpa-gpt-image-2/scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "画一只可爱的松鼠" \
  --output /tmp/squirrel.png \
  --model gpt-5.4

Recommended env contract:

export IMAGE_GEN_BASE_URL='http://192.168.10.8:8317/v1'
export IMAGE_GEN_KEY='sk-xxxx'
export IMAGE_GEN_MODEL='gpt-5.4'

Override model when needed:

python3 skills/cpa-gpt-image-2/scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "a cinematic fox detective in Bangkok neon rain" \
  --output /tmp/fox.png \
  --model gpt-5.4 \
  --format png

Expected behavior

The script:

1. reads credentials from env or OpenClaw otcbot defaults
2. POSTs to /v1/responses
3. sends codex-style headers: user-agent, version, originator, session_id
4. requests the image_generation tool, defaulting to stream: false
5. parses normal JSON, or SSE data: payloads when streaming is enabled
6. auto-retries short rate_limit_exceeded image responses when the server provides a retry delay
7. auto-retries transient gateway fallbacks where the tool list comes back empty and the response degrades to text
8. extracts the first base64 image from the response
9. writes the file to the requested output path

Fallback curl patterns

Preferred non-streaming version:

curl --location "$IMAGE_GEN_BASE_URL/responses" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $IMAGE_GEN_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "model": "gpt-5.4",
    "input": "画一只可爱的松鼠",
    "tools": [
      {
        "type": "image_generation",
        "output_format": "png"
      }
    ],
    "instructions": "you are a helpful assistant",
    "tool_choice": "auto",
    "stream": false,
    "store": false
  }'

Streaming version when needed:

curl --location "$IMAGE_GEN_BASE_URL/responses" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $IMAGE_GEN_KEY" \
  --header "user-agent: ${CPA_USER_AGENT:-codex-tui/0.122.0 (Manjaro 26.1.0-pre; x86_64) vscode/3.0.12 (codex-tui; 0.122.0)}" \
  --header "version: ${CPA_VERSION:-0.122.0}" \
  --header "originator: ${CPA_ORIGINATOR:-codex_cli_rs}" \
  --header "session_id: ${CPA_SESSION_ID:-test-session}" \
  --header 'accept: text/event-stream' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "gpt-5.4",
    "input": "画一只可爱的松鼠",
    "tools": [
      {
        "type": "image_generation",
        "output_format": "png"
      }
    ],
    "instructions": "you are a helpful assistant",
    "tool_choice": "auto",
    "stream": true,
    "store": false
  }'

Notes

• Prefer the bundled script for repeatability.
• Do not hardcode live keys, base URLs, or session ids into workspace docs.
• This skill intentionally mirrors the CPA blog example request shape as closely as practical.
• On this gateway, prefer gpt-5.4 plus image_generation tool instead of direct gpt-image-2 model calls.
• For the known local otcbot endpoint, prefer setting OTCBOT_BASE_URL and OTCBOT_API_KEY explicitly when testing.
• If the endpoint returns provider-specific SSE events, extend the SSE parser instead of changing the whole request shape.
• If the user asks to send the generated file back in the current chat, use the normal file-delivery flow after generation.
