Nano Banana (nano-banana) image generation skill. An agent skill from buildatscale-tv/claude-code-plugins.
- Works in 2 steps: Generate the Image → Integrate with Frontend Design
- The user asks to generate an image
- SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Available Models, Image Generation Workflow and Crafting Effective Prompts, plus 2 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv; needs GEMINI_API_KEY
What it does
Generate is an agent skill from buildatscale-tv/claude-code-plugins. Nano Banana (nano-banana) image generation skill. Use this skill when the user asks to "generate an image", "generate images", "create an image", "make an image", uses "nano banana", or requests multiple images like "generate 5 images". Generates images using Google's Gemini models (Flash, Pro, or Nano Banana 2) for any purpose - frontend designs, web projects, illustrations, graphics, hero images, icons, backgrounds, or standalone artwork. Invoke this skill for ANY image generation request.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/image.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: Claude code plugin marketplace for the BuildAtScale YouTube Channel.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to generate an image
- Generate images
- Create an image
- Uses nano banana
Example prompts
- “generate an image”
- “generate images”
- “create an image”
- “/generate”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Generate the Image
- Integrate with Frontend Design
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22ea178. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GEMINI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Generate loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 822 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
