What it does

Sc Gemini Imagegen is an agent skill from kylesnowschwartz/SimpleClaude. Generate and edit images using the Gemini API (Nano Banana). This skill SHOULD be used when creating images from text prompts, editing existing images, applying style transfers, generating logos with text, creating stickers, product mockups, or any image generation/manipulation task. Supports text-to-image, image editing, multi-turn refinement, and composition from multiple reference images.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/compose_images.py`, `scripts/edit_image.py` and `scripts/gemini_images.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation and Image editing. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: Practical minimalism for AI assisted programming with Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Image generation
  • Tasks that involve Image editing

Example prompts

  • “/sc-gemini-imagegen”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GOOGLE_API_KEY
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5224fc7. 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 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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:

    • GOOGLE_API_KEY
    • GEMINI_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Sc Gemini Imagegen loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 466 words (~1,590 tokens).

“Generate and edit images using Google's Gemini API. The SDK reads GOOGLE_API_KEY by default (GEMINI_API_KEY as fallback). Or pass a key explicitly to genai.Client(api_key=...).”
