imagen — Claude Code skill: image generation
This skill uses Google Gemini's image generation API to create UI mockups, icons, illustrations, and other visual assets.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill imagen -a claude-codeWhat imagen does
imagen generates images through Google Gemini's image generation API. Ask it for a UI mockup, an icon, or an illustration. It is aimed at visual assets for a project.
The OpenDesign entry helps an agent discover the skill while planning. To run the full upstream workflow, install its original assets, scripts, and references in the active agent's skills directory. Check the upstream README for the exact paths first; the agent needs to find those files to use the full workflow.

- create a UI mockup from a description

- make an illustration for an interface
- produce visual assets with Google Gemini
Example prompts for the agent
