What it does

Make Images is an agent skill from glifxyz/glif-mcp-server. Make new still images from a brief with Glif and save them to a folder: concept art, a series of variations, mockups, posters, illustrations, wallpapers, reference boards or any picture that isn't tied to a web page, app store or game engine. Use when: "make an image of", "generate a picture", "draw me", "I need some concept art", "make 10 variations", "one in each of these styles", "mockup of", "poster for", "wallpaper", "fake screenshot of", "what would X look like as Y", "mood board images", "images for my…

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`). Compatibility notes: Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

It sits in Game Development, covering Logo and visual identity, Sprites and pixel art and Image editing. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Glif's hosted MCP server, plugin and skills for creating images, video and audio. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : make an image of
  • Generate a picture
  • I need some concept art
  • Make 10 variations

Example prompts

  • “t tied to a web page, app store or game engine. Use when:”
  • “generate a picture”
  • “draw me”
  • “/make-images”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Write the brief
  2. Check cost, then run once
  3. Save and check
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90bf7. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

  • Compatibility

    Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Make Images loads about 931 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 203 tokens; SKILL.md has 464 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~203
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~931

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Make new still images from a brief with Glif and save them to a folder: concept art, a series of variations, mockups, posters, illustrations, wallpapers, reference boards or any picture that isn't tied to a web page, app store or game engine. Use when: "make an image of", "generate a picture", "draw me", "I need some concept art", "make 10 variations", "one in each of these styles", "mockup of", "poster for", "wallpaper", "fake screenshot of", "what would X look like as Y", "mood board images", "images for my deck or doc". NOT for: editing an existing image (use edit-images), images that go into a site you're building (use web-visuals), logos or icons (use app-icons-and-logos), store or ad graphics (use app-promo-materials), game art (use game-assets), video or audio (use audio-and-video).
compatibility
Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

Make the images the user described and put them where they can find them. The user's explicit instructions come first, within host safety rules.

1. Write the brief

Say what each image shows, not which model to use. Include:

  • Subject and scene: what is in the picture and what it is doing.
  • Style: a named look (pixel art, watercolor, 1990s desktop screenshot), a palette, lighting and mood. Name a reference style, not a living artist.
  • Size: aspect ratio and pixel size, such as 16:9 at 1920×1080 or 1:1 at 1024×1024.
  • Count: how many images, and what varies between them.
  • Text in the image: the exact words in quotes, kept short. Say "no text" otherwise.
  • References: upload a logo, sketch or style sample with upload_file, only after the user agrees to send that file to Glif. With shell access, pass filename (and kind if unclear), then run the returned command with the real path. Pass the returned fileUrl in attachments. Say what to keep from it: "Use the attached mark exactly, don't redraw it."

A series goes in one brief. Number the items and give each a short name and what makes it different, so Glif can title the outputs to match.

Use real people's faces only with their consent. Don't make images that pass as real photos of real people or events.

2. Check cost, then run once

Generation spends the user's Glif credits. A direct request ("make an image of…") is approval. If the images were your own idea, list them in a line each and wait for a yes.

Call compose_project once with the whole brief. Share the projectUrl. Follow the run with get_job_status, passing the jobId as job_id. A series can take minutes, so keep working meanwhile. A pending status or timeout is not a reason to start another run, and never retry a failure on your own.

3. Save and check

Download every result. In a codebase, use a folder the build does not ship, with a subfolder per series. Check the ignore and build config first, and never use public/ or static/. Elsewhere, use the folder the user named or the current directory.

sh
curl -fsSL "<media url>" -o drafts/posters/01-noir.png
file drafts/posters/01-noir.png
  • Name files after the series item: 01-noir.png, 02-pastel.png.
  • Use the media's MIME type for the extension. Don't overwrite an existing file; add -v2.
  • Check the pixel size. Ask Glif to redo a wrong one in the same project; never upscale locally.
  • Check any text letter by letter.
  • For more than 6 images, build a contact sheet so the user can scan them in one look.

4. Report

Say what you made, where the files are and the projectUrl. Point out the ones that missed the brief. To change one image or add to the series, continue the same project with its project_id and name the item.
