gpt-image-1-5

Generate and edit images using OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 model. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports text-to-image generation and image editing with optional mask. DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by intellectronica on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Gpt Image 1 5 AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/gpt-image-1-5/skills
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills/plugins/gpt-image-1-5/skills .claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gpt Image 1 5 in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Gpt Image 1 5 on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Gpt Image 1 5 is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

GPT Image 1.5 - Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing ones using OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 model.

  • Generation: Uses the Responses API with image_generation tool
  • Editing: Uses the Image API for reliable mask-based inpainting

Usage

Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to skill directory first):

Generate new image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "your image description" --filename "output-name.png" [--quality low|medium|high] [--size 1024x1024|1024x1536|1536x1024|auto] [--background transparent|opaque|auto] [--api-key KEY]

Edit existing image (without mask - full image edit):

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "editing instructions" --filename "output-name.png" --input-image "path/to/input.png" [--size 1024x1024|1024x1536|1536x1024|auto] [--api-key KEY]

Edit existing image (with mask - precise inpainting):

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "what to put in masked area" --filename "output-name.png" --input-image "path/to/input.png" --mask "path/to/mask.png" [--size 1024x1024|1024x1536|1536x1024|auto] [--api-key KEY]

Important: Always run from the user's current working directory so images are saved where the user is working, not in the skill directory.

Parameters

Quality Options

  • low - Fastest generation, lower quality
  • medium (default) - Balanced quality and speed
  • high - Best quality, slower generation

Map user requests:

  • No mention of quality -> medium
  • "quick", "fast", "draft" -> low
  • "high quality", "best", "detailed", "high-res" -> high

Size Options

  • 1024x1024 (default) - Square format
  • 1024x1536 - Portrait format
  • 1536x1024 - Landscape format
  • auto - Let the model decide based on prompt

Map user requests:

  • No mention of size -> 1024x1024
  • "square" -> 1024x1024
  • "portrait", "vertical", "tall" -> 1024x1536
  • "landscape", "horizontal", "wide" -> 1536x1024

Background Options (generation only)

  • auto (default) - Model decides
  • transparent - Transparent background (PNG/WebP output)
  • opaque - Solid background

API Key

The script checks for API key in this order:

  1. --api-key argument (use if user provided key in chat)
  2. OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable

If neither is available, the script exits with an error message.

Filename Generation

Generate filenames with the pattern: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-name.png

Format: {timestamp}-{descriptive-name}.png

  • Timestamp: Current date/time in format yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss (24-hour format)
  • Name: Descriptive lowercase text with hyphens
  • Keep the descriptive part concise (1-5 words typically)
  • Use context from user's prompt or conversation
  • If unclear, use random identifier (e.g., x9k2, a7b3)

Examples:

  • Prompt "A serene Japanese garden" -> 2025-12-17-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png
  • Prompt "sunset over mountains" -> 2025-12-17-15-30-12-sunset-mountains.png
  • Prompt "create an image of a robot" -> 2025-12-17-16-45-33-robot.png
  • Unclear context -> 2025-12-17-17-12-48-x9k2.png

Image Editing

Both editing modes use the Image API (images.edit endpoint) with gpt-image-1.5 for reliable results.

Without Mask (Full Image Edit)

When the user wants to modify an existing image without specifying exact regions:

  1. Use --input-image parameter with the path to the image
  2. The prompt should contain editing instructions (e.g., "make the sky more dramatic", "change to cartoon style")
  3. A fully transparent mask is auto-generated, allowing the model to edit the entire image

With Mask (Precise Inpainting)

When the user wants to edit specific regions:

  1. Use --input-image parameter with the path to the image
  2. Use --mask parameter with a PNG mask file
  3. The mask should have transparent areas (alpha=0) where edits should occur
  4. The prompt describes what should appear in the masked region

Common editing tasks: add/remove elements, change style, adjust colors, replace backgrounds, etc.

Prompt Handling

For generation: Pass user's image description as-is to --prompt. Only rework if clearly insufficient.

For editing: Pass editing instructions in --prompt (e.g., "add a rainbow in the sky", "make it look like a watercolor painting")

Preserve user's creative intent in both cases.

Output

  • Saves PNG to current directory (or specified path if filename includes directory)
  • Script outputs the full path to the generated image
  • Do not read the image back - just inform the user of the saved path

Examples

Generate new image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "A serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms" --filename "2025-12-17-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png" --quality high --size 1536x1024

Generate with transparent background:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "A cute cartoon cat mascot" --filename "2025-12-17-14-25-30-cat-mascot.png" --background transparent --quality high

Edit existing image (full image):

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "make the sky more dramatic with storm clouds" --filename "2025-12-17-14-27-00-dramatic-sky.png" --input-image "original-photo.jpg"

Edit with mask (inpainting):

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/gpt-image-1-5/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "a flamingo swimming" --filename "2025-12-17-14-30-00-lounge-flamingo.png" --input-image "lounge.png" --mask "mask.png"

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gpt Image 1 5 AI skill do?

Generate and edit images using OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 model. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports text-to-image generation and image editing with optional mask. DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.

Why use Gpt Image 1 5 on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gpt Image 1 5 is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Gpt Image 1 5 in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/gpt-image-1-5/skills. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Gpt Image 1 5?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Gpt Image 1 5?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Gpt Image 1 5 with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Gpt Image 1 5 AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by intellectronica under the CC0-1.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
