# image-generation

Turns a rough visual idea into a working prompt for DALL-E, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, shaped for the tool you actually use.

## What it does

The skill builds a prompt from a fixed skeleton: subject, action, environment, composition, style, lighting, colour, mood and technical parameters. Then it rewrites the result per platform. DALL-E 3 gets flowing natural language. Midjourney gets keyword lists with flags such as `--ar 16:9`, `--style raw` and `--v 6`. Stable Diffusion gets weighted tokens like `(modern office:1.2)` and a separate negative prompt.

Reference tables cover photography styles (portrait, product, landscape, street, fashion editorial), art styles (watercolour, oil, anime, 3D render), lighting and mood. Output arrives as a block: the main prompt for each of the three tools, a few variations, style alternatives and notes on what to adjust when the result misses.

It does not generate images. It cannot predict how a model will read your text, and it will not work around a generator's content policy — so do not expect a finished file out of it. Check each platform's own limits yourself.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill image-generation -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill image-generation -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill image-generation -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install claude-office-skills/skills image-generation
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill image-generation -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills --path image-generation
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill image-generation -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/claude-office-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/image-generation/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write a prompt targeted at one generator instead of a generic one
- translate an idea into Midjourney keyword syntax
- build a negative prompt to cut artefacts and watermarks
- match lighting and style keywords to the intended mood
- get several prompt variations plus a plan for revisions

## Example prompts
- write a Midjourney prompt for a modern office with floor-to-ceiling windows at sunset, 16:9
- give me a DALL-E 3 prompt for a presentation cover in a minimalist style
- I need a Stable Diffusion prompt with a negative section, photorealistic portrait

# Image Generation Skill

## Overview

I help you create effective prompts for AI image generation tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. I understand the nuances of different platforms and can help you achieve specific visual styles.

**What I can do:**
- Write detailed image generation prompts
- Optimize prompts for specific AI tools
- Suggest style keywords and modifiers
- Create negative prompts to avoid unwanted elements
- Adapt prompts for different aspect ratios
- Generate variations and alternatives

**What I cannot do:**
- Generate images directly
- Guarantee exact output from AI tools
- Predict how AI will interpret prompts
- Bypass content policies of AI tools

## How to Use Me

### Step 1: Describe Your Vision

Tell me:
- What you want to see in the image
- The purpose (presentation, social media, marketing)
- Style preferences (realistic, artistic, minimalist)
- Mood or emotion to convey

### Step 2: Choose the Platform

- **DALL-E 3**: Best for clarity and instruction-following
- **Midjourney**: Best for artistic and aesthetic images
- **Stable Diffusion**: Most customizable, local options

### Step 3: Specify Parameters

- Aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, etc.)
- Quality level
- Style references
- Things to avoid
