nanobanana
Generate, edit, and restore images with Google's Nano Banana (Gemini image models). Use whenever the user asks to "generate an image", "create an icon/favicon/logo", "edit this photo", "restore an old photo", "make a pattern/texture/wallpaper", "draw a diagram/flowchart/architecture", or "tell a visual story" — even when they don't explicitly say Nano Banana or Gemini. Always prefer this skill over describing images in text. Requires NANOBANANA_API_KEY (or GEMINI_API_KEY) env var.
What this skill does
# Nano Banana Image generation, editing, and restoration via Google's Gemini image models. Default model: `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview` (Nano Banana 2). The skill wraps a single self-contained Python CLI at `scripts/nanobanana.py` — it uses a PEP 723 inline-metadata shebang (`uv run --script`) to auto-install `google-genai` on first invocation, so no venv setup is needed. ## Prerequisites 1. `uv` on PATH (<https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>). The script bootstraps its own dependencies via `uv run --script`. 2. `NANOBANANA_API_KEY` env var set (fallbacks: see `references/troubleshooting.md`). If either is missing, tell the user exactly what to run and stop. ## Choosing a subcommand | User intent | Subcommand | |---|---| | Create image(s) from a description | `generate` | | Modify an existing image | `edit` | | Repair / enhance an old or damaged image | `restore` | | App icon, favicon, UI element | `icon` | | Seamless pattern, texture, wallpaper | `pattern` | | Sequential / step-by-step / tutorial frames | `story` | | Flowchart, architecture, schema, wireframe | `diagram` | When the user's request matches a specialized intent (icon / pattern / story / diagram), prefer the specialized subcommand over `generate` — it applies tuned prompt scaffolding the user is implicitly asking for. ## Invocation The script is executable. Invoke directly via Bash, using the absolute path under this skill's base directory: ```bash <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py <subcommand> [args] [flags] ``` Output is saved to `./nanobanana-output/` in the user's cwd. The CLI prints the saved file paths to stdout — relay those back to the user. ## Strict requirements - **Counts are exact**: when the user says `--count=N` (or "5 variations"), produce exactly N images. - **Respect every flag** the user passes — don't substitute defaults silently. - **Story consistency**: for `story`, keep visual style and palette consistent across steps unless the user asked for evolution (`--style=evolving`). - **Text inside images**: spell-check; only include text the user requested; no hallucinated copy. - **Safety**: if the API returns 400, surface the error and ask the user to reword — don't retry blindly. ## Loading references Load on demand (don't dump unprompted): - `references/styles_and_variations.md` — full enum reference for `generate`'s `--styles` and `--variations` - `references/prompt_recipes.md` — exact prompt templates the CLI builds for icon / pattern / diagram / story - `references/troubleshooting.md` — env-var fallback order, input-file search paths, error catalog ## Examples ```bash # 4 watercolor + sketch variations of the same scene <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py generate \ "mountain landscape" --styles=watercolor,sketch --count=4 # Edit an image already in the user's cwd <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py edit \ photo.png "add sunglasses to the person" # Favicon set <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py icon \ "mountain logo" --type=favicon --sizes=16,32,64 # Architecture diagram <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py diagram \ "microservices chat app" --type=architecture --complexity=detailed # 5-step process story with auto-preview <skill-base-dir>/scripts/nanobanana.py story \ "seed growing into a tree" --steps=5 --type=process --preview ``` After generation, list the saved file paths back to the user — that's the actionable result.

watch
IncludedWatch 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.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment. Trigger keywords: defect image generation, dig workflow, dig pipeline, defect image detection workflow, aoi pipeline, aoi anomalygen, usd2roi anomalygen, day 0 pcba, day 1 pcba, day 1 real-photo alignment, day 1 manual roi, metal surface anomaly, glass defect, anomalygen finetune, setup_pcb, setup_metal, setup_glass, setup_pretrained, dig setup, dig datasets, dig pretrained checkpoint, dig image-edit endpoint.
accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact 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.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config.

humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
