# bria-ai

This skill wires the Bria.ai image API into your agent: text-to-image, background removal, product lifestyle shots and upscaling. Handy when assets are needed inside the project.

## What it does

The skill exposes more than 20 Bria.ai endpoints to the agent. You can generate a picture from a written prompt, retouch an existing photo by describing the change, cut a subject out onto a transparent PNG, swap the backdrop, drop a product into a room scene, or raise resolution. Output is commercially safe and royalty-free.

Sign-in runs through an OAuth device flow. The `bria_auth` helper prints a link and a code, you approve it in the browser, and the token lands in `~/.bria/credentials`. Calls then go through `bria_call`: endpoint first, then a file path or URL, then JSON fields. Endpoints that take an `images` array need the `--key images` flag, and every extra reference image is added with `--image`.

Two things have to be in place before anything runs: the `BRIA_API_KEY` environment variable and `curl` on the machine. No key and no credentials file means no call goes through, so finish authentication before the first generation. A billing problem makes the script stop outright, and that is the point where you fix the account rather than retry.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Bria-AI/bria-skill --skill bria-ai -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/bria-ai/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/bria-ai/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Bria-AI/bria-skill --skill bria-ai -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/bria-ai/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Bria-AI/bria-skill --skill bria-ai -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/bria-ai/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Bria-AI/bria-skill bria-ai
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/bria-ai/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Bria-AI/bria-skill --skill bria-ai -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Bria-AI/bria-skill --path bria-ai-openclaw/skills/bria-ai
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/bria-ai/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Bria-AI/bria-skill --skill bria-ai -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- cut a product photo out onto a transparent PNG
- generate a banner from a written description
- swap a background for a studio or blurred one
- place a product inside a room scene
- double or quadruple the resolution of a shot

## Example prompts
- Remove the background from `product.png` and save it as a transparent PNG
- Generate a 16:9 banner for a summer sneaker sale
- Put this product on a kitchen countertop as a lifestyle shot

# Bria — AI Image Generation, Editing & Background Removal

Commercially safe, royalty-free image generation and editing through 20+ API endpoints.

For additional endpoint details, see the [Bria API reference for agents](https://docs.bria.ai/llms.txt).

## When to Use This Skill

- **Generate images** — "create an image of...", "make me a banner", "generate a hero image", "I need a product photo"
- **Edit images** — "change the background", "make it look like winter", "add a vase to the table", "remove the person"
- **Remove/replace backgrounds** — "make the background transparent", "cut out the product", "replace with a studio background"
- **Product photography** — "create a lifestyle shot", "place this product in a kitchen scene", "e-commerce packshot"
- **Enhance/transform** — "upscale this image", "make it higher resolution", "restyle as oil painting", "change the lighting"

## Setup — Authentication

### Step 1: Check for existing credentials

```bash
if [ -f ~/.bria/credentials ]; then
  BRIA_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(grep '^access_token=' "$HOME/.bria/credentials" | cut -d= -f2-)
  BRIA_API_KEY=$(grep '^api_token=' "$HOME/.bria/credentials" | cut -d= -f2-)
fi
if [ -z "$BRIA_ACCESS_TOKEN" ]; then
  echo "NO_CREDENTIALS"
elif [ -n "$BRIA_API_KEY" ]; then
  echo "READY"
else
  echo "CREDENTIALS_FOUND"
fi
```

- `READY` → skip to making API calls
- `CREDENTIALS_FOUND` → skip to Step 3
- `NO_CREDENTIALS` → proceed to Step 2

### Step 2: Authenticate via device flow

Source the auth helper and run `bria_auth`:

```bash
source ~/.agents/skills/bria-ai/references/code-examples/bria_auth.sh
bria_auth
```

`bria_auth` will print `SIGN_IN_URL=...` and `USER_CODE=...`. Show the user exactly this — nothing more:

> **Connect your Bria account:** [Click here to sign in]({SIGN_IN_URL})
> Your code is **{USER_CODE}** — it's already filled in.
