## What it does

The skill drives `generate_image.py`, which talks to the Skywork Image API. Generation needs `--prompt` and `--filename`; editing adds `--input-image`, and you can pass several references with a repeated `-i`. Aspect ratio goes through `--aspect-ratio` (`1:1`, `2:3`, `3:2`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`, `16:9`, `21:9`), resolution through `--resolution` with `1K`, `2K` or `4K`. When the user gives no ratio, leave the flag out and let the API pick.

You need `SKYWORK_API_KEY` set and `python3` on the machine. Each image takes about 2 minutes, so this is not a loop for quick drafts. Run the script from the user's working directory so the file lands next to the project, and use an absolute path instead of changing into the skill folder.

The script prints the local file path and the OSS URL; hand back both by default. Separate scenario files cover e-commerce, storyboards, infographics, logos, branding, brochures, social media and posters. If the log mentions an insufficient benefit level, that is a Skywork membership limit rather than a bad key. Auth failures like `NO_TOKEN`, `INVALID_TOKEN` or `401` point at `SKYWORK_API_KEY` instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --skill skywork-design -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --skill skywork-design -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --skill skywork-design -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills skywork-design
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/skywork-design/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --skill skywork-design -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --path skywork-design
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills --skill skywork-design -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/SkyworkAI/Skywork-Skills/tree/HEAD/skywork-design/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate a poster or cover from a text description
- rework an existing image: restyle it, drop or add an element
- merge several reference images into one
- produce visuals at the resolution and ratio a specific channel needs
- draft at 1K, then regenerate the final at 4K

## Example prompts
- generate an announcement poster in 3:4 at 2K
- take `cover.png` and swap the background for a gradient, keep the text
- combine these two references into one image with `-i`

# Visual Design — Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing ones via the backend image API.
Be patient, it takes about 2 minutes to generate an image each time.

## Prerequisites

### API Key Configuration (Required First)
This skill requires a **SKYWORK_API_KEY** to be configured in OpenClaw.

If you don't have an API key yet, please visit:
**https://skywork.ai**

For detailed setup instructions, see:
[references/apikey-fetch.md](references/apikey-fetch.md)

## Usage

Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to skill directory):

**Generate new image:**
```bash
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "description" --filename "output.png" [--aspect-ratio 3:4] [--resolution 1K|2K|4K]
```

**Edit existing image:**
```bash
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "edit instructions" --filename "output.png" --input-image "source.png" [--aspect-ratio 3:4] [--resolution 2K]
```

**Edit with multiple reference images:**
```bash
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "combine these styles" --filename "output.png" -i "ref1.png" -i "ref2.png"
```

Always run from the user's working directory so images save there.

## When to Generate vs Edit

- **Generation** (`--prompt` only): Creating new images from scratch — posters, logos, illustrations, photos, infographics.
- **Editing** (`--prompt` + `--input-image`): User provides existing image(s) and wants modifications — style changes, element addition/removal, color adjustments, format conversion.
  - Notice: Edit api supports character resemblance of up to 4 characters and the fidelity of up to 10 objects in a single workflow

If the user uploads/references images and wants changes, always use `--input-image`.

## Resolution

- **1K** — ~1024px, fast drafts
- **2K** (default) — ~2048px, good for most deliverables
- **4K** — ~4096px, final high-res output

Map user requests: "low/draft" → 1K, "normal/medium/2K" → 2K, "high-res/hi-res/4K/ultra" → 4K.

## Aspect Ratio

Supported ratios: `1:1`, `2:3`, `3:2`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`, `16:9`, `21:9`.
