What it does

Ideogram Core Workflow A is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Select and operate the current Ideogram generation route across V4 sync, V4 async, transparency, and P-Image. Use when designing a text-to-image workflow with explicit latency and output contracts. Trigger with "generate with Ideogram V4", "choose an Ideogram model route", or "build transparent Ideogram images".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live image generation consumes prepaid credit

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing a text-to-image workflow with explicit latency and output contracts
  • With generate with Ideogram V4
  • Choose an Ideogram model route
  • Build transparent Ideogram images

Example prompts

  • “generate with Ideogram V4”
  • “choose an Ideogram model route”
  • “build transparent Ideogram images”
  • “/ideogram-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

  • A credential in IDEOGRAM_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live image generation consumes prepaid credit
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify whether the workload requires V4, transparency, P-Image, structured prompting, or compatibility with an existing V3 flow.
  2. Choose synchronous handling only when the request deadline safely includes generation and immediate download; otherwise choose async.
  3. Build the exact endpoint-specific multipart payload and reject mutually exclusive or unsupported fields before sending.
  4. Bound output count, input size, rendering option, in-flight concurrency, and total operation deadline.
  5. Validate safety on every returned image and persist approved assets immediately because vendor URLs expire.
  6. For async work, persist generation_id, reconcile webhook and polling results idempotently, and close only on a recognized terminal state.
  7. Record route, policy, spend, safety, storage, and cleanup evidence without retaining content.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.ideogram.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • IDEOGRAM_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live image generation consumes prepaid credit

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Ideogram Core Workflow A loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Ideogram Generation Route Selection

Overview

Choose the smallest current generation surface that satisfies latency, transparency, prompt, and model requirements. Make route choice explicit so applications do not inherit stale legacy endpoints or accidentally treat synchronous and asynchronous lifecycles as equivalent.

Prerequisites

  • An approved use case, prompt and input classification, latency target, output count, and cost ceiling.
  • A server-side key, positive credit, durable storage, and content-review policy.
  • Current endpoint-specific documentation; generic examples do not override route contracts.

Current Contract

Ideogram documents V4 synchronous /v1/ideogram-v4/generate, V4 asynchronous /v1/ideogram-v4/async/generate, transparent variants, and P-Image sync/async routes. V4 accepts either text or structured JSON prompting; JSON prompting disables magic prompt. V4 FLASH currently returns 400.

Authentication

Send the server-side IDEOGRAM_API_KEY only through the Api-Key header to https://api.ideogram.ai. Never expose the key or direct paid-generation authority to a browser or untrusted tenant.

Instructions

  1. Classify whether the workload requires V4, transparency, P-Image, structured prompting, or compatibility with an existing V3 flow.
  2. Choose synchronous handling only when the request deadline safely includes generation and immediate download; otherwise choose async.
  3. Build the exact endpoint-specific multipart payload and reject mutually exclusive or unsupported fields before sending.
  4. Bound output count, input size, rendering option, in-flight concurrency, and total operation deadline.
  5. Validate safety on every returned image and persist approved assets immediately because vendor URLs expire.
  6. For async work, persist generation_id, reconcile webhook and polling results idempotently, and close only on a recognized terminal state.
  7. Record route, policy, spend, safety, storage, and cleanup evidence without retaining content.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect product requirements, adapters, and fixtures. Use Write and Edit for approved implementation or documentation changes. Do not perform live generation, upload customer content, or alter production traffic by invocation alone.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval for paid calls, sensitive prompts or images, external publication, model or rendering changes, copyright-detection policy changes, and production rollout. A route migration needs a canary and reversible traffic control.

Error Handling

  • Reject V4 FLASH until endpoint documentation states support.
  • Treat 400, 401, 422, and 429 by class; do not retry validation or authentication failures.
  • Treat is_image_safe=false and an empty URL as a completed policy outcome, not transport failure.

Output

Return selected route, sync or async mode, prompt form, bounds, status counts, safe and unsafe counts, opaque generation IDs, persistence result, latency, spend owner, and rollback state. Exclude credentials, prompts, images, and temporary URLs.

Examples

  • Route an interactive opaque-image request to V4 sync and a batch campaign to V4 async.
  • Route a background-free catalog asset to the transparent endpoint only after storage and moderation are ready.

Validation

Compare route and multipart fields with current first-party docs, run fixture coverage for every terminal outcome, verify URL persistence and removal, and confirm concurrency plus deadline limits. Test the traffic rollback before enabling the canary.

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — use the dated endpoint, webhook, billing, team, and training links as the contract index for this workflow.
  • Recheck the endpoint-specific page and current OpenAPI description before relying on an enum, limit, beta feature, or lifecycle claim.
  • Record live observations as environment-specific evidence, not as universal vendor guarantees.
