What it does

Aliyun Qwen Image Edit is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when editing images with Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Qwen Image Edit models (qwen-image-edit, qwen-image-edit-plus, qwen-image-edit-max, qwen-image-2.0 series and snapshots). Use when modifying existing images (inpaint, replace, style transfer, local edits), preserving subject consistency, or documenting image edit request/response mappings.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/sources.md` and `scripts/prepare_edit_request.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative. It works with Qwen and Alibaba Cloud. The repository describes itself as: alibaba cloud skills,qwen ,wan and all skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing images with Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Qwen Image Edit models (qwen-image-edit
  • Qwen-image-edit-plus
  • Qwen-image-edit-max
  • Qwen-image-2.0 series and snapshots)

Example prompts

  • “/aliyun-qwen-image-edit”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
  2. Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions.
  3. Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope.
  4. Verify results and save output/evidence files.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1818263. 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:

    • python
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DASHSCOPE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aliyun Qwen Image Edit loads about 762 tokens when it runs, and up to ~794 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~762
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~794

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

version
1.0.0

Category: provider

Model Studio Qwen Image Edit

Validation

bash
mkdir -p output/aliyun-qwen-image-edit
python -m py_compile skills/ai/image/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/scripts/prepare_edit_request.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

  • Save edit request payloads, result URLs, and model parameters under output/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/.
  • Keep one sample request/response pair for reproducibility.

Use Qwen Image Edit models for instruction-based image editing instead of text-to-image generation.

Critical model names

Use one of these exact model strings:

  • qwen-image-edit
  • qwen-image-edit-plus
  • qwen-image-edit-max
  • qwen-image-2.0
  • qwen-image-2.0-pro
  • qwen-image-2.0-2026-03-03
  • qwen-image-2.0-pro-2026-03-03
  • qwen-image-edit-plus-2025-12-15
  • qwen-image-edit-max-2026-01-16

Prerequisites

  • Install SDK in a virtual environment:
bash
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install dashscope
  • Set DASHSCOPE_API_KEY in your environment, or add dashscope_api_key to ~/.alibabacloud/credentials.

Normalized interface (image.edit)

Request
  • prompt (string, required)
  • image (string | bytes, required) source image URL/path/bytes
  • mask (string | bytes, optional) inpaint region mask
  • size (string, optional) e.g. 1024*1024
  • seed (int, optional)
Response
  • image_url (string)
  • seed (int)
  • request_id (string)

Operational guidance

  • Keep prompts task-oriented: describe what to change and what to preserve.
  • Use masks for deterministic local edits.
  • Save output assets to object storage and persist only URLs.
  • For subject consistency, provide explicit constraints in prompt.

Local helper script

Prepare a normalized request JSON and validate response schema:

bash
.venv/bin/python skills/ai/image/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/scripts/prepare_edit_request.py \
  --prompt "Replace the sky with sunset, keep buildings unchanged" \
  --image "https://example.com/input.png"

Output location

  • Default output: output/aliyun-qwen-image-edit/images/
  • Override base dir with OUTPUT_DIR.

Workflow

  1. Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
  2. Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions.
  3. Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope.
  4. Verify results and save output/evidence files.
