Gemini Image Simple

Generate and edit images using Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash image generation API.

Why This Skill

Feature This Skill Others (nano-banana-pro, etc.)
Dependencies None (stdlib only) google-genai, pillow, etc.
Requires pip/uv ❌ No ✅ Yes
Works on Fly.io free ✅ Yes ❌ Fails
Works in containers ✅ Yes ❌ Often fails
Image generation ✅ Full ✅ Full
Image editing ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Setup complexity Just set API key Install packages first

Bottom line: This skill works anywhere Python 3 exists. No package managers, no virtual environments, no permission issues.

Quick Start

# Generate
python3 /data/clawd/skills/gemini-image-simple/scripts/generate.py "A cat wearing a tiny hat" cat.png

# Edit existing image  
python3 /data/clawd/skills/gemini-image-simple/scripts/generate.py "Make it sunset lighting" edited.png --input original.png

Usage

Generate new image

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "your prompt" output.png

Edit existing image

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "edit instructions" output.png --input source.png

Supported input formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP

Environment

Set GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable. Get one at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey

How It Works

Uses Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental image generation:

  • Pure urllib.request for HTTP (no requests library)
  • Pure json for parsing (stdlib)
  • Pure base64 for encoding (stdlib)

That's it. No external packages. Works on any Python 3.10+ installation.

Examples

# Landscape
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "Misty mountains at sunrise, photorealistic" mountains.png

# Product shot
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "Minimalist product photo of a coffee cup, white background" coffee.png

# Edit: change style
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "Convert to watercolor painting style" watercolor.png --input photo.jpg

# Edit: add element
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py "Add a rainbow in the sky" rainbow.png --input landscape.png
