Art Skill — Image Generation

A CLI tool for generating images from text prompts using multiple AI models. Used by the brand-skill in Phase 2 (Visual Direction) and Phase 3 (Mark Development) for reference image generation.

The Tool

Tools/Generate.ts — A multi-model image generation CLI that supports:

Model	Flag	API Key	Best for
Gemini (nano-banana-pro)	`--model nano-banana-pro`	`GOOGLE_API_KEY`	Best quality, text rendering
Replicate (nano-banana)	`--model nano-banana`	`REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`	Faster iteration
Flux	`--model flux`	`REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`	High quality, stylistic variety
GPT Image	`--model gpt-image-1`	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	Alternative generation

Setup

Install bun runtime: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
Set at least one API key as an environment variable
Run with: bun run Tools/Generate.ts --model [MODEL] --prompt "[PROMPT]" --output ~/Downloads/output.png

Usage

# Basic generation
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "Abstract minimalist logo concept: [description]. Clean vector style, dark background. No text." \
  --size 2K \
  --aspect-ratio 1:1 \
  --output ~/Downloads/brand-ref-1.png

# With background removal (useful for marks)
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "[PROMPT]" \
  --size 2K \
  --remove-bg \
  --output ~/Downloads/mark-reference.png

# With reference image for style consistency
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "[PROMPT]" \
  --reference-image existing-mark.png \
  --size 2K \
  --output ~/Downloads/variation.png

Flags

Flag	Options	Default	Purpose
`--model`	nano-banana-pro, nano-banana, flux, gpt-image-1	nano-banana-pro	Image generation model
`--prompt`	text	(required)	The generation prompt
`--size`	1K, 2K, 4K (or aspect like 16:9)	16:9	Output resolution or aspect ratio
`--aspect-ratio`	1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 21:9	16:9	Aspect ratio (Gemini nano-banana-pro)
`--output`	path	~/Downloads/generated-image.png	Output file path
`--remove-bg`	(flag)	off	Remove background (requires REMOVEBG_API_KEY)
`--thumbnail`	(flag)	off	Generate both transparent + background versions (enables --remove-bg)
`--reference-image`	path (repeatable)	none	Style/content reference (nano-banana-pro only)
`--creative-variations`	number	1	Generate multiple variations (-v1, -v2, etc.)

In the Brand Process

Phase 2 — Visual Direction (Mode A): Generate 3-4 reference images exploring different visual interpretations of the brand concept. Use --aspect-ratio 1:1 for logo references (default is 16:9). High resolution, abstract/minimalist prompts.

Phase 3 — Mark Development (Path A): Generate high-contrast reference images for bitmap tracing with vtracer. Use --remove-bg for clean marks. Trace the result to SVG.

Tips

Always output to ~/Downloads/ first for preview
Square (1:1) aspect ratio works best for logo references
Include "no text" in prompts for logo/mark references
Use --remove-bg when generating marks for tracing
Keep prompts abstract: "minimalist logo concept" not "a logo for my company"
nano-banana-pro handles text rendering best if you need labels
