## What it does

The skill handles images inside the agent: text-to-image generation, editing existing pictures, style transfer, keeping the same subject across several frames, multi-image composition, and rendering text on an image. It can also interleave text and images in one reply.

Execution runs through `scripts/image.py`, which covers sync and async calls plus upload and download. Reference files load on demand: `references/execution-guide.md` for curl fallbacks and code generation, `references/prompt-guide.md` for prompt formulas and `negative_prompt` decisions, `references/api-guide.md` for API details. You need Python 3.9+ and an API key in `QWENCLOUD_API_KEY`, `QWEN_API_KEY` or `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`.

Token Plan keys (`sk-sp-...`) route to a separate endpoint, and curl is off the table with them — use the bundled Python script instead. Coding Plan keys won't work at all, since image generation models aren't part of that plan. The script detects the key type at startup. Generating several files in one session? Add a numeric suffix to each name (`out_1.png`, `out_2.png`), or you'll overwrite the previous one.

This is not the skill for reading or OCR-ing images — that's `qwencloud-vision`, and video belongs to `qwencloud-video-generation`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install QwenCloud/qwencloud-ai qwencloud-image-generation
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

## When to use it
- generate an illustration from a text prompt
- apply a reference image's style to a new picture
- keep one character consistent across a set of images
- compose a scene from several reference photos
- render legible text on a poster or product shot

## Example prompts
- generate a poster for the launch, use qwencloud-image-generation
- transfer the style from this reference onto a new image
- make a series of images with the same character in different scenes

# 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 **qwencloud/qwencloud-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 (`$QWENCLOUD_API_KEY` in shell, `os.environ["QWENCLOUD_API_KEY"]` in Python). The scripts accept `QWENCLOUD_API_KEY`, then `QWEN_API_KEY`, then `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`. 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.
```
