Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API.

  • Works in 2 steps: api-key argument (use if user provided… → GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable
  • The user asks to generate
  • SKILL.md covers Usage, Resolution Options, API Key and Filename Generation, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv; needs GEMINI_API_KEY

What it does

Nano Banana Pro is an agent skill from intellectronica/agent-skills. Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/generate_image.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation and Image editing. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: @intellectronica's agent skills. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to generate
  • User references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g.
  • Modify this image
  • Change the background

Example prompts

  • “modify this image”
  • “change the background”
  • “replace X with Y”
  • “/nano-banana-pro”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. api-key argument (use if user provided key in chat)
  2. GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b0e00a. 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

Nano Banana Pro loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.

Nano Banana Pro Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing ones using Google's Nano Banana Pro API (Gemini 3 Pro Image).

Usage

Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to skill directory first):

Generate new image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "your image description" --filename "output-name.png" [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--api-key KEY]

Edit existing image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "editing instructions" --filename "output-name.png" --input-image "path/to/input.png" [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--api-key KEY]

Important: Always run from the user's current working directory so images are saved where the user is working, not in the skill directory.

Resolution Options

The Gemini 3 Pro Image API supports three resolutions (uppercase K required):

  • 1K (default) - ~1024px resolution
  • 2K - ~2048px resolution
  • 4K - ~4096px resolution

Map user requests to API parameters:

  • No mention of resolution → 1K
  • "low resolution", "1080", "1080p", "1K" → 1K
  • "2K", "2048", "normal", "medium resolution" → 2K
  • "high resolution", "high-res", "hi-res", "4K", "ultra" → 4K

API Key

The script checks for API key in this order:

  1. --api-key argument (use if user provided key in chat)
  2. GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

If neither is available, the script exits with an error message.

Filename Generation

Generate filenames with the pattern: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-name.png

Format: {timestamp}-{descriptive-name}.png

  • Timestamp: Current date/time in format yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss (24-hour format)
  • Name: Descriptive lowercase text with hyphens
  • Keep the descriptive part concise (1-5 words typically)
  • Use context from user's prompt or conversation
  • If unclear, use random identifier (e.g., x9k2, a7b3)

Examples:

  • Prompt "A serene Japanese garden" → 2025-11-23-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png
  • Prompt "sunset over mountains" → 2025-11-23-15-30-12-sunset-mountains.png
  • Prompt "create an image of a robot" → 2025-11-23-16-45-33-robot.png
  • Unclear context → 2025-11-23-17-12-48-x9k2.png

Image Editing

When the user wants to modify an existing image:

  1. Check if they provide an image path or reference an image in the current directory
  2. Use --input-image parameter with the path to the image
  3. The prompt should contain editing instructions (e.g., "make the sky more dramatic", "remove the person", "change to cartoon style")
  4. Common editing tasks: add/remove elements, change style, adjust colors, blur background, etc.

Prompt Handling

For generation: Pass user's image description as-is to --prompt. Only rework if clearly insufficient.

For editing: Pass editing instructions in --prompt (e.g., "add a rainbow in the sky", "make it look like a watercolor painting")

Preserve user's creative intent in both cases.

Output

  • Saves PNG to current directory (or specified path if filename includes directory)
  • Script outputs the full path to the generated image
  • Do not read the image back - just inform the user of the saved path

Examples

Generate new image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "A serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms" --filename "2025-11-23-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png" --resolution 4K

Edit existing image:

bash
uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "make the sky more dramatic with storm clouds" --filename "2025-11-23-14-25-30-dramatic-sky.png" --input-image "original-photo.jpg" --resolution 2K
