Creating a new local AI image editing project from an agent
SKILL.md covers Requirements, CLI and Basic agent usage
Calls npm, curl and npx; needs OPENAI_API_KEY
Launching the BananaTape editor in the user's browser

What it does

BananaTape is a local-first browser editor for AI image generation and editing, and this skill teaches the agent its command line. The commands create a named project, optionally under a chosen parent folder, list projects, and launch one on a chosen port, with options to skip opening the browser or to rebuild. launch and open are aliases, and several projects can run at once on different ports.

Projects are local folders, kept by default under ~/Documents/BananaTape Projects/ unless BANANATAPE_PROJECTS_DIR points elsewhere. delete only unregisters a project, and --delete-files also removes its folder. Agent smoke tests and headless checks should use --no-open, while normal use lets the editor open in your browser. Image generation needs an OPENAI_API_KEY in the environment or a Codex CLI that is already signed in, and the agent must not print keys, write them into files or edit ~/.codex/auth.json. Node.js 22 or newer is required.

When your agent uses it

Creating a new local AI image editing project from an agent
Launching the BananaTape editor in the user's browser
Running a headless smoke test of BananaTape
Cleaning up old BananaTape projects

Example prompts

“Create a BananaTape project called product-shots and open the editor.”
“List my BananaTape projects and delete the one named old-banners, including its files.”
“Run a headless smoke test of BananaTape without opening a browser window.”

Requirements

Node.js 22 or newer
The BananaTape CLI, installed globally or run through npx
An OPENAI_API_KEY, or a Codex CLI already signed in

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a6e52b9. 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:
- npm
- curl
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, curl and npx, 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:
- OPENAI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

BananaTape Image Editor CLI loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~547

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 166 words (~547 tokens).

“BananaTape is a local-first browser editor for AI image generation and editing. Use this skill when an agent needs to run BananaTape for a user, create a project, launch the editor, or perform a smoke test.”
