Image Agent - Multi-Vendor Image Router
Scheduling
Goal
Generate images and visual assets through authenticated multi-vendor routing while preserving prompt clarity, reference-image handling, cost controls, and reproducible output manifests.
Intent signature
User asks to generate images, visual assets, illustrations, product photos, concept art, mockups, or AI art.
Another skill needs shared image-generation infrastructure.
User provides reference images or asks for vendor comparison.
When to use
Generating images, visual assets, illustrations, product photos, concept art
Comparing output between multiple image models for the same prompt
Producing images from prompts within editor workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI)
Other skills needing image generation infrastructure (shared invocation)
When NOT to use
Editing an existing image or photo manipulation -> out of scope
Generating videos or audio -> out of scope
Inline vector art / SVG composition from structured data -> use a templating skill
Simple asset resizing or format conversion -> use a dedicated image library
Expected inputs
Image prompt or creative brief
Optional vendor, size, quality, count, output directory, and reference images
Authentication/environment state for Codex, Pollinations, or Gemini
Expected outputs
Generated image files under .agents/results/images/ or requested output directory
manifest.json with prompt, vendor, model, and reproducibility metadata
Vendor comparison outputs when --vendor all is used
Dependencies
oma image generate CLI and vendor authentication
Codex image generation, Pollinations API, or Gemini API/CLI strategy
resources/vendor-matrix.md, resources/prompt-tips.md, and config/image-config.yaml
Control-flow features
Branches by prompt ambiguity, vendor auth, cost threshold, reference-image support, path safety, and safety/timeout exit codes
Calls external vendor APIs/CLIs
Reads reference images and writes generated images plus manifests
Structural Flow
Entry
Validate that the request contains enough subject, setting, style, usage, and aspect-ratio signal.
Detect attached/reference images and vendor support.
Check authentication, cost guardrails, output path, and count limits.
Scenes
PREPARE: Clarify or amplify prompt and choose vendor strategy.
ACQUIRE: Validate auth, references, output path, and provider availability.
ACT: Invoke oma image generate with selected vendor(s), prompt, references, and options.
VERIFY: Check manifest, output files, exit code, and provider result.
FINALIZE: Return output paths and relevant warnings.
Transitions
If prompt lacks required signal, clarify or show amplified prompt before generation.
If --vendor all is requested, require every requested vendor to be available.
If reference path is supported by selected vendor, pass it automatically.
If estimated cost exceeds guardrail, require confirmation unless bypassed.
Failure and recovery
If auth is missing, report vendor-specific authentication requirement.
If reference support is unavailable for the selected vendor, reject with actionable guidance.
If local CLI is outdated, ask user to run oma update.
If generation times out or is blocked, surface exit code and provider status.
Exit
Success: images and manifest exist in the output directory.
Partial success: some vendors fail in comparison mode and failures are reported.
Failure: no image is produced and the route/cost/auth/safety blocker is explicit.

Effects and side effects

May call paid or rate-limited provider APIs.
May read attached/reference images.
Guardrails
Clarify before invoking: if the user's request is ambiguous about subject, style, composition, or usage context, ask the user first or amplify the prompt explicitly (showing the user the expanded version for approval). Do NOT silently generate from a vague prompt. See Clarification Protocol below.
Authentication-aware dispatch: detect which vendor CLIs are authenticated and run only those; with --vendor all, every requested vendor must be available (strict).
Cost guardrail: confirm before executing runs whose estimated cost is ≥ $0.20 (configurable). --yes / OMA_IMAGE_YES=1 bypass. Default vendor pollinations (flux/zimage) is free, so auto-triggering on keywords is safe.
Cancellable: SIGINT/SIGTERM aborts in-flight provider calls and the orchestrator.
Deterministic outputs: every run writes manifest.json next to the images for reproducibility.
Max n = 5: wall-time bound.
Exit codes align with oma search fetch (0, 1, 2=safety, 3=not-found, 4=invalid-input, 5=auth-required, 6=timeout).
Clarification Protocol
Before invoking oma image generate, the calling agent runs this checklist against the user's request. If any answer is "no / unknown", clarify with the user first.
Required signal (must be present or inferable):
Subject: what is the primary thing in the image? (object, person, scene)
Setting / backdrop: where is it? (context, environment)
Strongly recommended (ask if absent AND not inferable from context):
Amplification shortcut. For brief prompts (e.g. "a red apple"), do not pop clarifying questions if the request is genuinely that simple. Instead amplify inline and show the user the expanded version before invoking:
User: "a red apple"
Agent: "I'll generate this as: a single glossy red apple centered on a clean white background, soft studio lighting, photorealistic, shallow depth of field, 1024×1024. Shall I proceed, or would you like a different style/composition?"
Skip both clarification and amplification when the user has clearly authored a full creative brief (≥ 2 of: subject + style + lighting + composition). Respect their prompt verbatim.
Output language. Generation prompts are sent to the provider in English (image models are trained predominantly on English captions). Translate the user's request if they wrote in another language, and show them the translated version during amplification so they can correct misreadings.
Vendors
This skill follows oh-my-agent's CLI-first concept: whenever a vendor's native CLI can drive generation (and return raw bytes), the subprocess path is preferred over direct API keys. Direct API is only used as a fallback for vendors whose CLI can't yet emit raw image bytes.
Vendor
Strategy
Models
Trigger
codex
CLI-first via codex exec over ChatGPT OAuth (codex login), built-in image_gen
gpt-image-2
Logged in via Codex CLI (no API key)
pollinations
Direct HTTP via gen.pollinations.ai/v1/images/generations (free signup for key)
CLI-first fallback → direct API. gemini -p (stream) is the preferred path but currently disabled at precheck (CLI's agentic loop does not return raw inlineData bytes on stdout as of Gemini CLI 0.38). Until the CLI exposes a non-agentic image surface, the provider falls back to the direct generativelanguage.googleapis.com API.

When ALL of the following are true, the calling agent MUST pass the attached image via --reference <path> automatically. Never describe the image in prose as a workaround.
The user asks to generate or edit an image (referencing the attached one by phrases like "이거", "this image", "same style as this", "이 수달", etc.).
A host-surfaced attached image is visible to the agent (e.g. a Claude Code system message with [Image: source: <path>], or an Antigravity workspace upload path, or an explicit filesystem path in the user's message).
The selected vendor supports references (codex or gemini).
Required action: invoke oma image generate --reference <absolute-path> --vendor <codex|gemini> "<prompt>". If the user didn't specify a vendor, default to codex (CLI-first, widest availability). Do NOT:
Fall back to prose description ("I'll describe the otter's appearance...").
Ask the user to re-type or re-attach the path.
Claim the CLI doesn't support references without first running oma image generate --help to verify.
If the local CLI is outdated (--reference is missing from --help): tell the user to run oma update once, then retry. Do not silently degrade to prose.
If the reference path is from Claude Code's image-cache: note to the user that the path is session-scoped and suggest copying the file to a durable location if they want to reuse it later. Still proceed with the generation.
Shared Infrastructure (from other skills)
Other skills call oma image generate --format json and parse the JSON manifest from stdout.
