## What it does

This skill handles logo generation for the vigiles repository through the ImageRouter service. It submits POST requests to `https://api.imagerouter.io/v1/openai/images/generations`. The default output is 1024x1024 PNG. Recommended models include `google/nano-banana-2` at $0.07 per run or its free variant `google/nano-banana-2:free`. It also supports `openai/gpt-image-1` and `black-forest-labs/FLUX-1.1-pro`.

Calls fail without an API key. You obtain this credential at `https://imagerouter.io/api-keys` and assign it to the `IMAGEROUTER_API_KEY` environment variable or pass it directly. Once the job finishes, the tool downloads the final graphic from `data[0].url`.

The workflow isolates experimental drafts. All variations are saved into gitignored `logo-v*.png` files. After picking the best outcome, copy that image over to `logo.png`. Only `logo.png` should be committed.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zernie/vigiles --skill generate-logo -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zernie/vigiles --skill generate-logo -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zernie/vigiles --skill generate-logo -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install zernie/vigiles generate-logo
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zernie/vigiles --skill generate-logo -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/zernie/vigiles --path .claude/skills/generate-logo
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zernie/vigiles --skill generate-logo -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/zernie/vigiles/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/generate-logo/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- produce logo concepts using ImageRouter models such as `google/nano-banana-2`
- send automated POST requests to generate 1024x1024 PNG image assets
- store intermediate logo drafts in gitignored `logo-v*.png` files
- copy the final selected asset into `logo.png` for committing

## Example prompts
- Generate a few logo drafts with an amber flame theme using `google/nano-banana-2`
- Create a test icon on a black background using the free tier `google/nano-banana-2:free`
- Run logo generation via ImageRouter and save the output to `logo-v7.png`

# Generate Logo

Generate logo variations for vigiles using the ImageRouter API (imagerouter.io).

## Setup

Get an API key from https://imagerouter.io/api-keys. Pass it as an argument or set `IMAGEROUTER_API_KEY` env var. Do NOT commit the key.

## API

```
Endpoint: https://api.imagerouter.io/v1/openai/images/generations
Auth: Bearer token in Authorization header
Method: POST, Content-Type: application/json
```

### Request body

```json
{
  "prompt": "...",
  "model": "google/nano-banana-2",
  "quality": "high",
  "size": "1024x1024",
  "response_format": "url",
  "output_format": "png"
}
```

### Available models (image generation)

List models: `GET https://api.imagerouter.io/v1/models`

Known good models:

- `google/nano-banana-2` — best quality, $0.07/image
- `google/nano-banana-2:free` — free tier
- `openai/gpt-image-1` — OpenAI's image model
- `black-forest-labs/FLUX-1.1-pro` — FLUX pro

### Response

```json
{
  "created": 1775430873,
  "data": [{ "url": "https://storage.imagerouter.io/..." }],
  "cost": 0.069,
  "latency": 27627
}
```

Download the image from the URL in `data[0].url`.

## Current logo

The current logo (`logo.png`) is v6: overlapping translucent flame petals on dark background, amber-orange palette. Generated with `google/nano-banana-2`.

### Prompt that produced it

```
A premium, refined logo icon for a developer tool called vigiles that compiles
typed TypeScript specs to AI instruction files. Inspired by OpenAI geometric aesthetic and Apple
minimalism. A single abstract geometric shape: an upward-pointing flame composed
of 3 overlapping translucent rounded shapes, creating depth through overlap —
similar to how the OpenAI logo uses overlapping curves. Warm amber to deep orange
color palette. Black background. No text. No letters. Pure abstract mark. Clean
enough to be an app icon. Luxurious, premium, modern tech company feel.
```

## Design principles

- **Flame/torch motif** — vigiles were Rome's night watchmen who carried torches
- **Amber/orange palette** — matches GitHub Action branding color
- **No text in the icon** — must work at 16px favicon size
- **Dark background variant** for README, light/transparent variant for npm

## Example curl

```bash
curl 'https://api.imagerouter.io/v1/openai/images/generations' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $IMAGEROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "YOUR PROMPT HERE",
    "model": "google/nano-banana-2",
    "quality": "high",
    "size": "1024x1024",
    "response_format": "url",
    "output_format": "png"
  }'
```

## Workflow

1. Generate variations with different prompts
2. Save as `logo-v*.png` (gitignored)
3. Pick the best, copy to `logo.png`
4. Commit `logo.png` only
