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 OpenClaudia on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills/tree/main/skills/ai-image-gen
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/OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills.git /tmp/openclaudia-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaudia-skills/skills/ai-image-gen .claude/skills/generate-image

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Generate Image 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 Generate Image 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 Generate Image 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.

AI Image Generation

Generate images from text prompts using OpenAI GPT Image (gpt-image-2 / gpt-image-1 / variants) or Stability AI (SD 3.5 Large).

Tool Location

Script: ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py
Env file: ~/.agents/tools/.env (contains OPENAI_API_KEY and STABILITY_API_KEY)

Available OpenAI image models (verified live via `/v1/models` 2026-05-15)

Model ID	Notes
`gpt-image-2`	Flagship. Released 2026-04-21. Best prompt adherence, best photorealism. Default when image quality matters.
`gpt-image-2-2026-04-21`	Pinned dated variant of gpt-image-2
`gpt-image-1.5`	Intermediate release between 1 and 2
`gpt-image-1-mini`	Smaller/cheaper gpt-image-1 variant — use for batch/draft generation where cost matters
`gpt-image-1`	Original gpt-image. Still works; superseded by gpt-image-2.
`chatgpt-image-latest`	Always-current alias of the model ChatGPT.com uses (currently gpt-image-2-class). Use when you want "whatever ChatGPT uses today"
`dall-e-3`	Legacy fallback. Different quality semantics (standard/hd, not low/medium/high).

Pass any of these to --model. The script branches on gpt-image* for the quality/format handling, so all gpt-image-* variants work out of the box.

Default in the script is now gpt-image-2 (the flagship) — pass --model gpt-image-1-mini for cheap batch/draft work.

Quick Usage

Generate with OpenAI gpt-image-2 (flagship)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "a sunset over mountains, oil painting style" \
  --output ./sunset.png \
  --model gpt-image-2 \
  --quality high

Generate with default (gpt-image-2)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "a sunset over mountains, oil painting style" \
  --output ./sunset.png

High quality

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "modern logo design for a tech company" \
  --output ./logo.png \
  --size 1024x1024 \
  --quality high

Wide format (good for blog covers, banners)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "abstract digital art with blue tones" \
  --output ./banner.png \
  --size 1536x1024

Tall format (good for mobile, stories)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "portrait of a futuristic city" \
  --output ./city.png \
  --size 1024x1536

Transparent background (icons, logos)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "a minimalist cat icon, flat design" \
  --output ./icon.png \
  --background transparent

Generate with Stability AI (SD 3.5 Large)

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/generate-image.py \
  --prompt "watercolor painting of a garden" \
  --output ./garden.png \
  --provider stability

Frequently asked questions

What does the Generate Image AI skill do?

Generate images using AI (OpenAI GPT Image or Stability AI). Use when the user asks to generate an image, create an AI image, make an illustration, or produce artwork from a text prompt.

Why use Generate Image on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Generate Image 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 Generate Image in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills/tree/main/skills/ai-image-gen. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Generate Image?

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 Generate Image?

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

Is the Generate Image AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by OpenClaudia under the MIT 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.
