- Generate images from text descriptions
- Edit or modify existing images
- Create project assets (icons, favicons, social images)
- Generate design inspiration (moodboards)
- Create consistent character designs
- Compare different AI image providers
Available Commands
| Command | Use For |
|---|
/imagegen:generate | Generate images from prompts |
/imagegen:edit | Edit existing images |
/imagegen:iterate | Refine images through multiple steps |
/imagegen:compare | Compare Google vs OpenAI |
/imagegen:assets | Generate project assets |
/imagegen:moodboard | Create design inspiration sets |
/imagegen:character | Create consistent character sheets |
/imagegen:config | Configure defaults |
Delegation
For complex image generation tasks, delegate to the image-generator subagent which has access to all generation scripts and can handle multi-step workflows.

Example Interactions
User: "Generate an image of a sunset over mountains"
Action: Use /imagegen:generate --prompt "A sunset over mountains"
User: "Create app icons for my project"
Action: Use /imagegen:assets --type icons --prompt "[ask for description]"
User: "Edit this image to add rain"
Action: Use /imagegen:edit --image [path] --prompt "Add rain falling"
User: "I want to iterate on this design"
Action: Use /imagegen:iterate --image [path] --prompt "[refinement]"
User: "Which provider would be better for logos?"
Action: Explain Google is better for style variety, OpenAI for text, and suggest /imagegen:compare to test both.
Prerequisites Check
Before generating, verify:
- Required Python packages:
google-genai, openai, Pillow (for resizing)
- API keys set in environment
- Output directory accessible
pip install google-genai openai Pillow
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key
Prompt Tips
Help users craft effective prompts:
- Be descriptive but concise
- Specify style (photorealistic, watercolor, minimalist)
- Include lighting (golden hour, dramatic, soft)
- Mention composition (close-up, wide shot, centered)
- For characters, include distinctive features
- For logos, specify simplicity level
