# AI Image Generation

Generate and edit images with 11+ AI models via the [RunComfy](https://www.runcomfy.com/?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-image-generation) CLI — text-to-image and image-to-image, one auth, one command. This skill picks the right model for the user's intent and ships the documented prompt patterns + the exact `runcomfy run` invoke for each.
