What linkfox-multimodal-generate-image does

This skill dispatches image synthesis tasks to the Linkfox API endpoint using python scripts/multimodal_generate_image.py. It creates visuals directly from prompts under 1000 characters, alters backgrounds, transfers art styles, and composites subjects into scenes. Supported aspect ratios include 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, and 16:9.

You can pass up to three reference image links in the referenceImageUrl parameter. The tool requires publicly reachable URLs. If you work with local assets, run python scripts/upload_image.py <path> first to publish the file to a 24-hour temporary URL.

Without LINKFOX_AGENT_API_KEY or LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY configured in your environment, calls fail with HTTP 401. Execution payloads write directly to <cwd>/linkfox/... in the project directory, while identical parameter calls resolve through a 24-hour local disk cache to prevent duplicate compute charges.

What it helps with

  • generate clean product shots from text descriptions
  • change background colors or settings in an existing product frame
  • composite an item from one reference image onto a surface in another
  • swap human models or mannequins while preserving garment details
  • upload local image files to public URLs before triggering the API

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a professional product photo of black wireless headphones on a blue background in 1:1 aspect ratio
  • Replace the vase on the table in image 1 with a small potted plant
  • Place the product from image 2 onto the marble countertop in image 1

# AI Image Generation

This skill guides you on how to generate and edit images using the AI image generation service, helping users create high-quality product images, modify existing images, and perform creative visual transformations.

## Core Concepts

The AI Image Generation tool produces new images based on a text prompt and optional reference images. It supports a wide range of use cases:

- **Text-to-image**: Generate a brand-new image purely from a text description.
- **Image-to-image**: Provide one or more reference images and a prompt to generate a new image that preserves elements from the references.
- **Image editing**: Modify specific elements, colors, backgrounds, or styles in an existing image.
- **Product compositing**: Place a product from one image into a scene from another image.
- **Model swapping**: Replace the model or mannequin in a product photo.

**Reference images are strongly recommended** when the user wants the output to closely resemble an existing product or scene. Up to 3 reference image URLs can be provided, separated by commas.

## Parameter Guide

| Parameter | Required | Description | Default |
|-----------|----------|-------------|---------|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the desired image. Supports text-to-image, image-to-image, editing, model swapping, and more. Max 1000 characters. | -- |
| referenceImageUrl | No | URL(s) of reference image(s). Separate multiple URLs with commas. Up to 3 images supported. Max 1000 characters. | -- |
| aspectRatio | No | Aspect ratio of the output image. | 1:1 |

### Supported Aspect Ratios

| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| 1:1 | Square (default) |
| 3:4 | Portrait |
| 4:3 | Landscape |
| 9:16 | Vertical fullscreen |
| 16:9 | Horizontal fullscreen |

### Prompt Writing Tips

1. **Be specific and descriptive**: Clearly describe the subject, scene, lighting, style, and mood you want.
2. **Reference images by number**: When using reference images, refer to them as "image 1", "image 2", etc., in the order they appear in `referenceImageUrl`.
3. **State the operation explicitly**: Use clear action verbs like "replace", "change", "put", "combine", "generate".
4. **Keep within 1000 characters**: Prompts have a maximum length of 1000 characters.

### Prompt Examples by Scenario

**Object replacement**:
```
Replace the vase on the table in image 1 with a potted plant
```

**Background color change**:
```
Change the background color of image 1 to pure white
```

**Product compositing**:
```
Place the product from image 2 onto the marble countertop in image 1
```

**Style transfer**:
```
Transform image 1 into the artistic style shown in image 2
```

**Text-to-image (no reference)**:
```
A professional product photo of a sleek black wireless headphone on a gradient blue background, studio lighting, 8K quality
```

**Model swapping**:
```
Replace the model in image 1 with a different model while keeping the same clothing and pose
```

## Local Image Upload

This tool requires **publicly accessible image URLs** for reference images. If the user provides a local image file path (e.g., `C:\Users\...\photo.png`, `/home/.../image.jpg`), you must upload it first to obtain a public URL.

Run the upload script:
```bash
python scripts/upload_image.py /path/to/local/image.png
```

The script will return a public URL (valid for 24 hours) that can be used as the reference image URL parameter.

## 调用方式

- **API 端点**:`POST /multimodal/generateImage`(完整参数/响应/错误码见 `references/api.md`)
- **Python 脚本**:`python scripts/multimodal_generate_image.py '<JSON 参数>' [--inline]`
- **成本约束**:本工具会消耗算力;同一会话同一参数组合默认只调用一次,脚本带 24h 本地缓存。失败/空结果不得自动换关键词、翻页或改邮编连续试探;需要继续检索时先向用户说明会产生额外消耗。

**输出策略(脚本默认行为)**:
- **始终**将完整响应写入 `<cwd>/linkfox/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/linkfox-multimodal-generate-image-<timestamp>.json`(`<cwd>` 为脚本执行时的工作目录,在 Claude Code 里即当前项目目录;`<session>` 取自环境变量 `SESSION_ID`,按用户任务自动聚合;**禁止写入 /tmp**,当前目录不可写则报错)
- 响应体 ≤ 8 KB:落盘后把完整 JSON 打印到 stdout
- 响应体 > 8 KB:落盘后 stdout 只输出摘要(顶层字段、常见计数如 `total`/`costToken`、最大列表字段的长度 + 前 3 条样本)
- 加 `--inline` 强制全量打印到 stdout(同样落盘)

**读数据建议**:先看摘要判断是否足够;需要具体字段时优先用 `jq`或`ConvertFrom-Json` 从保存的 json 文件按需抽取,避免整份 JSON 进入上下文。

## 解决认证和算力问题
发生以下异常情况时,采用 references/onboarding.md 引导解决问题:

### 异常情况
- **未配置API Key**:环境变量未配置 `LINKFOX_AGENT_API_KEY`,也未配置 `LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY`。
- **响应401或402状态码**
- **响应提示算力或余额不足**:消息含"算力余额不足/计费不足/余额不足/quota exceeded/insufficient balance/套餐到期/需充值/请充值",或类似含义的内容。

## Display Rules

1. **Show the generated image**: When the response contains image content in the `text` field, display it directly to the user using markdown image syntax.
2. **Status reporting**: Check the `status` and `finished` fields. If image generation is still in progress, inform the user and advise waiting.
3. **Prompt transparency**: Briefly describe what prompt and parameters were sent so the user understands what was requested.
4. **Aspect ratio confirmation**: If the user does not specify dimensions, use the default 1:1 ratio but mention it so they can request a different ratio if needed.
5. **Reference image guidance**: If the user wants a result close to an existing image but did not provide a reference URL, proactively suggest they provide one for better fidelity.
6. **Error handling**: When generation fails, explain the issue based on the response `status` field and suggest adjustments (e.g., simplify the prompt, check reference image URLs, try a different aspect ratio).
## Important Limitations

- **Reference image limit**: A maximum of 3 reference image URLs can be provided per request.
- **Prompt length**: The prompt must not exceed 1000 characters.
- **URL validity**: Reference image URLs must be publicly accessible. Private or expired URLs will cause failures.
- **Aspect ratio options**: Only 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, and 16:9 are supported.

## User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference

**Applicable** -- Requests involving image generation or editing:

| User Says | Scenario |
|-----------|----------|
| "Generate an image", "Create a picture" | Text-to-image generation |
| "Edit this photo", "Modify the image" | Image editing |
| "Change the background", "Make it white background" | Background replacement |
| "Put the product on this scene" | Product compositing |
| "Make it look like this style" | Style transfer |
| "Swap the model", "Change the person" | Model swapping |
| "Create a product photo" | Product image generation |
| "Make a vertical/landscape version" | Aspect ratio adjustment |

**Not applicable** -- Needs beyond image generation:

- Image analysis or recognition (reading text from images, identifying objects)
- Video generation or editing
- Image file format conversion
- Batch processing of hundreds of images
- Image hosting or storage

## 算力消耗规则

按动态规则计费:消耗算力 = rawTokens × 0.045。

> **重要**:本技能的服务按倍数动态计算,可能一次性消耗大量算力,必须提醒用户,由用户决定是否继续。
