## What it does

The skill turns text prompts into images and can revise existing files. Its image-editing workflows cover style changes, keeping a subject consistent, combining several references, and placing text into the result. It also supports responses that mix written content with images.

The package includes `scripts/image.py`, which handles synchronous or asynchronous runs as well as file upload and download. A `curl` route is available as a fallback. You need an API key in `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` or `QIANWEN_API_KEY`, and Python 3.9 or newer for the script path. Without Python 3.9+, that script will not run.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai --skill qianwen-image-generation -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai --skill qianwen-image-generation -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai qianwen-image-generation
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai --skill qianwen-image-generation -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai --path skills/image/qianwen-image-generation
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai --skill qianwen-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/QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai/tree/HEAD/skills/image/qianwen-image-generation/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- create an illustration from a text prompt
- edit an image using a reference
- transfer a visual style to an existing file
- combine several reference images
- place text inside a generated poster

## Example prompts
- Create an illustration of a cosy flower shop from a text description.
- Edit this image using the reference and transfer its visual style.
- Generate a poster with readable text and save it as `output/poster.png`.

# Qwen Image Generation

Generate and edit images using Wan and Qwen Image models. Supports text-to-image, reference-image editing (style
transfer, subject consistency, multi-image composition, text rendering), and interleaved text-image output.
This skill is part of **QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai**.

## Skill directory

Use this skill's internal files to execute and learn. Load reference files on demand when the default path fails or you need details.

| Location | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `scripts/image.py` | Default execution — sync/async, upload, download |
| `references/execution-guide.md` | Fallback: curl (sync/async), code generation |
| `references/prompt-guide.md` | Prompt formulas, style keywords, negative_prompt, prompt_extend decision |
| `references/api-guide.md` | API supplement |
| `references/sources.md` | Official documentation URLs |

## Security

**NEVER output any API key or credential in plaintext.** Always use variable references (`$DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` in shell, `os.environ["DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"]` in Python). Any check or detection of credentials must be **non-plaintext**: report only status (e.g. "set" / "not set", "valid" / "invalid"), never the value. Never display contents of `.env` or config files that may contain secrets.

**When the API key is not configured, NEVER ask the user to provide it directly.** Instead, help create a `.env` file with a placeholder (`DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here`) and instruct the user to replace it with their actual key from the [QianWen Console](https://platform.qianwenai.com/home/api-keys). Only write the actual key value if the user explicitly requests it.

## Key Compatibility

Both PAYG (`sk-ws-...`; legacy `sk-...`) and Token Plan (`sk-sp-...`) keys are supported. Detect
the API key type without exposing the Key:

```bash
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts')
from qianwen_lib import detect_api_key_type
print(detect_api_key_type('scripts/qianwen_lib.py'))
"
```
