When to Use

User needs AI-generated images. Agent handles text-to-image, image editing, style transfer, upscaling, and provider selection.

Architecture

User preferences persist in ~/image-generation/. See memory-template.md for setup.

~/image-generation/
├── memory.md      # Current provider, style, projects
└── history.md     # Past generations (optional)

Quick Reference

Topic	File
Memory setup	`memory-template.md`
Prompt techniques	`prompting.md`
API handling	`api-patterns.md`
OpenAI/DALL-E	`openai.md`
Midjourney	`midjourney.md`
Stable Diffusion	`stable-diffusion.md`
Flux	`flux.md`
Leonardo	`leonardo.md`
Ideogram	`ideogram.md`
Replicate	`replicate.md`

Core Rules

1. Check Memory First

Read ~/image-generation/memory.md for user's provider, preferred styles, and project context.

2. Draft Before Final

Start at 512x512 or 1024x1024 to validate prompt
Generate 4+ variations
Only upscale the winner

3. Provider Selection by Task

Task	Best Provider
Photorealism	Midjourney, Flux Pro
Text in images	Ideogram, DALL-E 3
Fast iteration	Flux Schnell, Leonardo
Maximum control	Stable Diffusion
Inpainting/editing	DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion
Budget API	Replicate, Leonardo

4. Prompt Structure

Subject first: "A red fox" not "In the forest there is a red fox"
Style keywords: "cinematic lighting", "oil painting", "studio photography"
Be specific: "golden hour sunlight" not "good lighting"
Match aspect ratio to content: 1:1 portraits, 16:9 landscapes

5. Update Memory

Event	Action
User chooses provider	Save to memory.md
Style works well	Note in memory.md
New project started	Add to memory.md

Common Traps

Hands/fingers wrong → regenerate or use inpainting
Text garbled → use Ideogram or add text in post-production
Faces distorted → add "detailed face" to prompt, use face-fix models
Style inconsistent → lock seed, use reference images
Watermarks appearing → check model training, use clean models

Security & Privacy

Data that leaves your machine: - Prompts sent to chosen AI provider for generation

Data that stays local: - Provider preferences in ~/image-generation/ - No telemetry or analytics

This skill does NOT: - Store generated images (provider handles storage) - Access files outside ~/image-generation/

External Endpoints

Provider	Endpoint	Data Sent	Purpose
OpenAI	api.openai.com	Prompt text	DALL-E generation
Midjourney	discord.com	Prompt text	Image generation
Stability AI	api.stability.ai	Prompt text	Stable Diffusion
Replicate	api.replicate.com	Prompt text	Flux, SD models
Leonardo	cloud.leonardo.ai	Prompt text	Leonardo generation
Ideogram	api.ideogram.ai	Prompt text	Text-in-image

Endpoints depend on chosen provider. No other data is sent externally.

Trust

By using this skill, prompts are sent to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Midjourney, Stability AI, etc.). Only install if you trust these services with your prompts.
