  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Openai Image Gen 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/swarmclawai/swarmclaw/tree/main/skills/openai-image-gen
  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/swarmclawai/swarmclaw.git /tmp/swarmclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/swarmclaw/skills/openai-image-gen .claude/skills/openai-image-gen
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openai Image Gen 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 Openai Image Gen 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 Openai Image Gen 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.

OpenAI Image Gen

Generate images via the OpenAI Images API with an HTML gallery viewer.

Run

Note: Image generation can take longer than typical timeouts. Set a higher timeout when running via shell (e.g., 300 seconds).

bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py

Useful Flags

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model dall-e-3 --style natural --prompt "serene mountain landscape"

# DALL-E 2
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model dall-e-2 --size 512x512 --count 4

Model-Specific Parameters

Size

  • GPT image models (gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, gpt-image-1.5): 1024x1024, 1536x1024 (landscape), 1024x1536 (portrait), or auto. Default: 1024x1024
  • dall-e-3: 1024x1024, 1792x1024, or 1024x1792. Default: 1024x1024
  • dall-e-2: 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024. Default: 1024x1024

Quality

  • GPT image models: auto, high, medium, or low. Default: high
  • dall-e-3: hd or standard. Default: standard
  • dall-e-2: standard only

Other Parameters

  • GPT image models support --background (transparent, opaque, auto) and --output-format (png, jpeg, webp)
  • dall-e-3 supports --style (vivid for hyper-real, natural for more natural looking)
  • dall-e-3 only supports n=1; the script automatically limits count to 1

Output

  • Image files (*.png, *.jpeg, or *.webp depending on model and format)
  • prompts.json (prompt-to-file mapping)
  • index.html (thumbnail gallery — open in browser to review)

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openai Image Gen AI skill do?

Generate images via OpenAI Images API (GPT Image, DALL-E 3, DALL-E 2). Supports batch generation with random prompt sampler and HTML gallery output. Use when asked to generate images with OpenAI and an OPENAI_API_KEY is available.

Why use Openai Image Gen on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Openai Image Gen?

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 Openai Image Gen?

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

Is the Openai Image Gen AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by swarmclawai 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.
