Overview

Use this skill for image files such as .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, .webp, and .svg.

Rules

• Never call read_file on a binary image.
• Use get_image_url when the user needs to reference an uploaded workspace image in Markdown, HTML, or chat.
• Use gemini_image only when the user wants image generation or image editing.
• Do not claim to have visually inspected an image if the runtime only has file metadata and no vision input path for that file.

Workflow

1. Determine the request type.

   • Reference an existing workspace image
   • Generate a new image
   • Edit an existing image
   • Describe or inspect image content

2. Reference flow.

   • If the task is to include or share an existing workspace image, call get_image_url.
   • Use the returned public URL in the output artifact or response.

3. Generation or editing flow.

   • If the user is asking for creation or editing in substance, use gemini_image.
   • Keep the prompt grounded in the user's stated goal.

4. Visual-inspection limitation handling.

   • If the user asks what is inside a workspace image and there is no supported vision-read path for that file in the current runtime, say so plainly.
   • Ask for either:
     • a direct description request using a supported image input path
     • a screenshot embedded in a PDF or document that can be queried another way
     • the specific text/context they want extracted

Good uses

• Insert or share uploaded charts and diagrams with public URLs
• Generate a new illustration, concept image, or mockup
• Edit or restyle an image with Gemini

Avoid

• Treating PNG or JPG bytes as text
• Pretending an image was visually analyzed when it was not
