## What it does

The skill gives your agent access to GPT-Image-2 from OpenAI — a model that generates images from text, edits them using reference images, and performs mask-based inpainting. You can generate up to 10 images at once, set any resolution in 32px increments (256 to 4096), choose quality (low, medium, high) and format (PNG, JPEG, WebP). For editing, pass a reference image and a prompt — the model changes background, objects or style. Inpainting requires a mask in PNG.

Runs through `belt`, the inference.sh CLI. Without `belt` installed, the skill will fail: the agent calls `belt app run openai/gpt-image-2` with JSON parameters, and if the command is missing, you get an error. Pricing depends on quality: low around $0.006 per image, medium $0.024, high $0.21. Larger resolutions cost more.
