What it does
Nanobanana is an agent skill from kenneth-liao/ai-launchpad-marketplace. AI image generation and editing using Google Gemini models. Use when the user asks to generate an image, create an image, edit an image, or mentions "nano banana", "nanobanana", "gemini image", "AI image", "generate a picture", or needs any image created or modified.
Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/gemini-api.md`, `references/prompts.md` and `scripts/batch_generate.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with Google Gemini and Python.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to generate an image
- Create an image
- Mentions nano banana
- Generate a picture
Example prompts
- “nano banana”
- “nanobanana”
- “gemini image”
- “/nanobanana”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Generate the anchor image with a prompt emphasizing style, palette, and mood
- Generate each subsequent image referencing the anchor
- Repeat step 2 for each image in the series, always referencing the same anchor.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04b93d6. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvpipcurlshbrew
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:
astral.sh
Also links to:
aistudio.google.comdocs.astral.sh
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
Nanobanana loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,110 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.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:444
- Install uv: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` or `brew install uv`
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,110 words (~3,996 tokens).
“Generate and edit images using Google Gemini models. Supports two models:”

- nanobanana
