baoyu-image-gen（宝玉图像生成器）

Image Generation (AI SDK)

Official API-based image generation. Supports OpenAI, Google, DashScope (阿里通义万象), Replicate and APIMart providers.

Script Directory

Agent Execution:

1. {baseDir} = this SKILL.md file's directory
2. Script path = {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts
3. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun

Step 0: Load Preferences ⛔ BLOCKING

CRITICAL: This step MUST complete BEFORE any image generation. Do NOT skip or defer.

Check EXTEND.md existence (priority: project → user):

# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ($env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME/.config" }
if (Test-Path "$xdg/baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md") { "xdg" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md") { "user" }

CRITICAL: If not found, complete the full setup (provider + model + quality + save location) using AskUserQuestion BEFORE generating any images. Generation is BLOCKED until EXTEND.md is created.

EXTEND.md Supports: Default provider | Default quality | Default aspect ratio | Default image size | Default models | Batch worker cap | Provider-specific batch limits

Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md

Usage

# Basic
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image cat.png

# APIMart (Gemini-3-Pro-Image-preview, async task polling)
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat in watercolor style" --image out.png --provider apimart

# APIMart with reference image
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make this into anime style" --image out.png --provider apimart --ref source.png

# APIMart with doubao-seedream-5-0-lite model
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cinematic mountain sunrise" --image out.png --provider apimart --model doubao-seedream-5-0-lite

# Batch mode with saved prompt files
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --batchfile batch.json

# Batch mode with explicit worker count
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --batchfile batch.json --jobs 4 --json

Batch File Format

{
  "jobs": 4,
  "tasks": [
    {
      "id": "hero",
      "promptFiles": ["prompts/hero.md"],
      "image": "out/hero.png",
      "provider": "replicate",
      "model": "google/nano-banana-pro",
      "ar": "16:9",
      "quality": "2k"
    },
    {
      "id": "diagram",
      "promptFiles": ["prompts/diagram.md"],
      "image": "out/diagram.png",
      "ref": ["references/original.png"]
    }
  ]
}

Paths in promptFiles, image, and ref are resolved relative to the batch file's directory. jobs is optional (overridden by CLI --jobs). Top-level array format (without jobs wrapper) is also accepted.

Options

Environment Variables

Load Priority: CLI args > EXTEND.md > env vars > <cwd>/.baoyu-skills/.env > ~/.baoyu-skills/.env

Model Resolution

Model priority (highest → lowest), applies to all providers:

1. CLI flag: --model <id>
2. EXTEND.md: default_model.[provider]
3. Env var: <PROVIDER>_IMAGE_MODEL (e.g., GOOGLE_IMAGE_MODEL)
4. Built-in default

EXTEND.md overrides env vars. If both EXTEND.md default_model.google: "gemini-3-pro-image-preview" and env var GOOGLE_IMAGE_MODEL=gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview exist, EXTEND.md wins.

Agent MUST display model info before each generation:

• Show: Using [provider] / [model]
• Show switch hint: Switch model: --model <id> | EXTEND.md default_model.[provider] | env <PROVIDER>_IMAGE_MODEL

Replicate Models

Supported model formats:

• owner/name (recommended for official models), e.g. google/nano-banana-pro
• owner/name:version (community models by version), e.g. stability-ai/sdxl:<version>

Examples:

# Use Replicate default model
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate

# Override model explicitly
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate --model google/nano-banana

Provider Selection

1. --ref provided + no --provider → auto-select Google first, then OpenAI, then Replicate, then APIMart
2. --provider specified → use it (if --ref, must be google, openai, replicate, or apimart)
3. Only one API key available → use that provider
4. Multiple available → default to Google

Quality Presets

Google/APIMart 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
• OpenAI: maps to closest supported size
• Replicate: passes aspect_ratio to model; when --ref is provided without --ar, defaults to match_input_image

Generation Mode

Default: Sequential generation.

Batch Parallel Generation: When --batchfile contains 2 or more pending tasks, the script automatically enables parallel generation.

Execution choice:

Rule of thumb:

• Prefer batch over subagents once prompt files are already saved and the task is "generate all of these"
• Use subagents only when generation is coupled with per-image thinking, rewriting, or divergent creative exploration

Parallel behavior:

• Default worker count is automatic, capped by config, built-in default 10
• Provider-specific throttling is applied only in batch mode, and the built-in defaults are tuned for faster throughput while still avoiding obvious RPM bursts
• You can override worker count with --jobs <count>
• Each image retries automatically up to 3 attempts
• Final output includes success count, failure count, and per-image failure reasons

Error Handling

• Missing API key → error with setup instructions
• Generation failure → auto-retry up to 3 attempts per image
• Invalid aspect ratio → warning, proceed with default
• Reference images with unsupported provider/model → error with fix hint (switch to Google multimodal: gemini-3-pro-image-preview, gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview; OpenAI GPT Image edits; Replicate; or APIMart)
