Gemini Image Generator

This skill generates images using Google's Gemini model. It is configured to be cost-efficient by defaulting to standard resolution models.

Usage

python3 {script_path} "Prompt" [--model model_name] [--output filename.png] [--no-open]

IMPORTANT: Model Selection Policy (Quota Saving)

Always default to standard resolution models. Do NOT use 4K models unless the user explicitly mentions "4K", "Ultra HD", or "High Definition".

Available Models

Model Name	Aspect Ratio	Resolution	Cost Category
gemini-3-pro-image (Default)	1:1	Standard	Low (Recommended)
gemini-3-pro-image-16x9	16:9	Standard	Low (Recommended)
gemini-3-pro-image-9x16	9:16	Standard	Low (Recommended)
gemini-3-pro-image-4k	1:1	4K	High
gemini-3-pro-image-4k-16x9	16:9	4K	High
gemini-3-pro-image-4k-9x16	9:16	4K	High

Decision Logic for Alma

1. Default: Use gemini-3-pro-image.
2. Aspect Ratio:
   • If "landscape/widescreen/16:9", use gemini-3-pro-image-16x9.
   • If "portrait/mobile/9:16", use gemini-3-pro-image-9x16.
3. 4K (Only if explicitly requested):
   • Only upgrade to a -4k model if the user explicitly says "4K" or equivalent high-res keywords.

Note on Display

Alma's chat UI does not render local images. The skill uses open to show the image in the system viewer.
