kie-seedance-image

Generate images with **ByteDance Seedream** through the Kie.ai jobs API. (Seedream is ByteDance's image model — the still-image sibling of Seedance video.) > **Setup:** needs `KIE_API_KEY` in `~/.claude/.env`. ## Models | Key | Model id | Mode | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `4.5` (default) | `seedream/4.5-text-to-image` | text-to-image | 2K or 4K | | `4.5-edit` | `seedream/4.5-edit` | image edit | Up to 14 input images; auto-selected when you pass `--image` | | `5-lite` | `seedream/5-lite-text-to-image` | text-to-image | Lighter/cheaper | ## Flow 1. **Parse** `$ARGUMENTS` for the concept. If the user gives image(s) to edit/combine → edit mode. 2. **Settings** (ask, or defaults on "just do it"): - **Aspect ratio:** `16:9` (default), `1:1`, `9:16`, `4:3`, `3:4`, `2:3`, `3:2`, `21:9`. - **Quality:** `basic` (2K, default) or `high` (4K). - **Variants:** default 3. 3. **Craft the prompt** (≤3000 chars). Show it before generating. 4. **Generate:** ``` python3 ~/.claude/skills/kie-seedance-image/generate.py "<prompt>" \ --model 4.5 --aspect-ratio 16:9 --quality basic --count 3 \ [--image <url-or-path> ...] # any --image switches to seedream/4.5-edit --slug <slug> ``` 5. **Present:** output → `~/images/seedream/<date>-<slug>/`. Offer more variants, 4K, a different ratio, or an edit pass on a favorite. ## Notes - Passing `--image` auto-switches to the edit model (combine/restyle up to 14 images). - Local files are auto-uploaded; URLs pass through. - For YouTube thumbnails specifically, `/yt-thumbnail` is still the tuned tool; this skill is the general-purpose Seedream image generator.
