What 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.

What it helps with

  • create a UI mockup from a description
  • generate an icon for a project
  • make an illustration for an interface
  • produce visual assets with Google Gemini

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use imagen to create a mockup of the settings screen.
  • Call imagen and make an icon for this project.
  • Generate an interface illustration with imagen.
