What this skill does


# Gemini Imagen

Generate images from text prompts using Google's Gemini APIs. This plugin gives Claude Code the ability to generate images directly.

---

## Quick Start

```bash
# Generate an image
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/gemini-imagen/skills/gemini-imagen/scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "A cute cartoon cat" \
  --output cat.png
```

---

## CRITICAL: Exact Model Names

**Use ONLY these exact model strings:**

| Model String | Speed | Best For |
|--------------|-------|----------|
| `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | Fast (2-5s) | Drafts, iterations |
| `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` | Slower (5-15s) | Quality, text rendering, 2K |

**Common mistakes:**
- `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20` - WRONG (date suffixes are for text models)
- `gemini-2.5-pro-image` - WRONG (doesn't exist)
- `gemini-3-flash-image` - WRONG (doesn't exist)

---

## Instructions

### Step 1: Check API Key

```bash
echo "GEMINI_API_KEY is ${GEMINI_API_KEY:+set}"
```

If not set, tell the user to run `/imagen:setup`.

### Step 2: Install Dependencies

```bash
pip install google-genai Pillow
```

### Step 3: Generate Image

```bash
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/gemini-imagen/skills/gemini-imagen/scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "YOUR PROMPT HERE" \
  --output /path/to/output.png
```

### Step 4: Verify Output

```bash
ls -la /path/to/output.png
```

---

## Model Selection

| Use Case | Model | Why |
|----------|-------|-----|
| Iterating on prompts | `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | Fast feedback (2-5s) |
| Final asset | `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` | Best quality |
| Game sprites | `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | Many images, consistent |
| Text in image | `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` | Better typography |
| Batch generation | `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | Cost effective |

---

## Post-Processing Options

### Remove Watermarks (`--remove-watermark`)

Removes bright pixels from image corners. Very useful for cleaning up generated images.

### Background Transparency (`--transparent-bg`)

Converts solid-color backgrounds to transparent. Great for sprites and icons.

```bash
python3 generate_image.py \
  --prompt "Character on gray background" \
  --output char.png \
  --remove-watermark \
  --transparent-bg
```

---

## Batch Generation

Generate multiple images from a file:

```bash
# prompts.txt (one per line)
python3 generate_image.py \
  --batch prompts.txt \
  --output-dir ./images/
```

---

## Error Handling

| Error | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| `GEMINI_API_KEY not set` | Run `/imagen:setup` |
| `Rate limit (429)` | Wait 60s, script auto-retries |
| `Content policy (400)` | Modify prompt |
| `No image in response` | Add more detail to prompt |
| `Pillow not installed` | Run `pip install Pillow` |

---

## Script Reference

**Location:** `scripts/generate_image.py`

| Argument | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `--prompt` | Yes* | Text prompt |
| `--output` | Yes* | Output file path (.png) |
| `--model` | No | Model (default: gemini-3-pro-image-preview) |
| `--remove-watermark` | No | Remove corner watermarks |
| `--transparent-bg` | No | Make background transparent |
| `--bg-color` | No | Background hex color (default: #3a3a3a) |
| `--batch` | No | Prompts file (one per line) |
| `--output-dir` | No | Directory for batch output |

*Required unless using `--batch`

**Exit Codes:**
- 0: Success
- 1: Missing API key
- 2: Generation failed
- 3: Invalid arguments

- Generate images from text prompts
- Select between fast and quality models
- Remove watermarks from images
- Make backgrounds transparent
- Batch generate multiple images

## What This Plugin CANNOT Do

- Use non-Gemini models (DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion)
- Generate video or audio
- Bypass content policy restrictions

watch

Included

Watch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.

accelint-react-best-practices

Included

React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
