What imagegen does

imagegen connects your agent to OpenAI Image API for visual asset creation. It recognizes triggers like "generate image", "create image", "icon design", or "mockup" and invokes the skill automatically.

The skill runs on Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. You'll need an active OpenAI account with API access—imagegen calls the Image API directly.

What it helps with

  • Generate a UI mockup from a text description
  • Create a set of icons for a project
  • Draw an illustration or visual reference
  • Design a social media card

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a mockup of a login button for a dashboard
  • Create an icon for the search feature in my app
  • Draw an illustration for an article about machine learning
