What problem does it solve? Creating bitmap assets such as photos, illustrations, sprites, mockups, and transparent cutouts normally requires leaving the coding workflow for a separate image tool. This Skill lets Codex generate or edit raster images directly in the project context, with a built-in tool path and a guarded CLI fallback for advanced API controls. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Built-in generation and editing: Uses the built-in image_gen tool by default for new images, reference-guided generation, and edits, with no API key required. - Transparent-background workflow: Generates subjects on a flat chroma-key background and removes it locally with remove_chroma_key.py, escalating to CLI gpt-image-1.5 true transparency only after explicit user confirmation. - Fallback CLI with batch support: scripts/image_gen.py exposes generate, edit, and generate-batch subcommands with model, quality, size, mask, and output-path controls when the user explicitly opts in. - Use Case: A developer building a landing page asks for a hero product image; the Skill generates it with the built-in tool, validates the result, and copies the final PNG into the project workspace with a versioned filename. ## Quick Start Ask Codex to generate a hero image of your product for the landing page and save it into the project assets folder.
