At a glance

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 and OPENROUTER_API_KEY

What it does

Nano Banana Pro is an agent skill from rtadewald/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 text-to-image and image-to-image editing. Default resolution is always 512 unless the user explicitly asks for 1K, 2K, or 4K. DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `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: Skills e fluxos que uso nos meus agentes.

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
  • A credential in OPENROUTER_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 (also loads from .env / ~/.env via python-dotenv when present)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99d0b39. 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:

    • 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
    • OPENROUTER_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Nano Banana Pro loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:58
    ` environment variable (also loads from `.env` / `~/.env` via python-dotenv when present)

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 423 words (~1,224 tokens).
