What it does
Invokeai Image Gen is an agent skill from sammcj/agentic-coding. Generate images using InvokeAI's local API. Use when asked to generate, create, or make images with InvokeAI, FLUX.2 Klein, Z-Image Turbo, FLUX, or SDXL models. Supports text-to-image generation, automatic model detection, image download, and parameter selection based on model architecture.
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 scripts (for example `scripts/generate.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with Stable Diffusion. The repository describes itself as: Agentic Coding Rules, Templates etc... The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to generate
- Make images with InvokeAI
Example prompts
- “/invokeai-image-gen”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in MODEL_KEY
- A credential in INVOKEAI_AUTH_TOKEN
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Front-load critical elements (word order matters)
- Specify lighting: source, quality, direction, temperature
- Include sensory texture: materials, reflections, atmosphere
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2f25ced. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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:
MODEL_KEYINVOKEAI_AUTH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Invokeai Image Gen loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 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 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.

- description
- Generate images using InvokeAI's local API. Use when asked to generate, create, or make images with InvokeAI, FLUX.2 Klein, Z-Image Turbo, FLUX, or SDXL models. Supports text-to-image generation, automatic model detection, image download, and parameter selection based on model architecture.
InvokeAI Image Generation
Generate images via InvokeAI's REST API. Supports FLUX.2 Klein (default), Z-Image Turbo, FLUX.1, and SDXL.
Quick Start
Simply call the script with your prompt and the output file name:
python scripts/generate.py -p "A dramatic sunset over snow-capped mountains, warm orange light reflecting off a still alpine lake in the foreground. Soft clouds catch the fading light." -o sunset.pngOverriding The Default Model
If the user asks you to use a specific model, first find the model key, then use it in the command:
python scripts/generate.py --list-models | grep -i 'flux'
python scripts/generate.py -p "A tabby cat with bright green eyes sits on a weathered wooden windowsill, soft afternoon light streaming through lace curtains. Cosy, intimate mood." --model MODEL_KEY -o cat.pngOptions
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--prompt, -p | Generation prompt (required) |
--negative, -n | Negative prompt (SDXL only) |
--model, -m | Model key (UUID) or partial name match |
--width, -W / --height, -H | Dimensions |
--steps, -s | Denoising steps |
--cfg, -c | CFG scale |
--guidance, -g | Guidance strength (FLUX.1 only) |
--scheduler | Sampling scheduler |
--seed | Random seed |
--output, -o | Output path (default: invokeai-{seed}.png) |
--list-models | List installed models |
--json | JSON output |
Model Defaults
Note: FLUX.2 Klein is the latest model which is used by default.
| Model | Steps | Guidance | CFG | Scheduler |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FLUX.2 Klein | 4 | 3.5 | 1.0 | euler |
| Z-Image Turbo | 9 | - | 1.0 | euler |
| FLUX.1 dev | 28 | 3.5 | 1.0 | euler |
| FLUX.1 Krea dev | 28 | 4.5 | 1.0 | euler |
| FLUX.1 Kontext dev | 28 | 2.5 | 1.0 | euler |
| FLUX.1 schnell | 4 | 0.0 | 1.0 | euler |
| SDXL | 25 | - | 6.0 | dpmpp_2m_k |
| SDXL Turbo | 8 | - | 1.0 | dpmpp_sde |
All models default to 1024x1024. FLUX requires dimensions divisible by 16, SDXL by 8.
FLUX.1 Variant Notes
- FLUX.1 dev: Standard text-to-image model, balanced quality/speed
- FLUX.1 Krea dev: Fine-tuned for aesthetic photography, use higher guidance (4.5)
- FLUX.1 Kontext dev: Image editing model, use lower guidance (2.5)
- FLUX.1 schnell: Distilled fast model, 4 steps, no guidance needed

Model Selection
Auto-priority: Klein > Z-Image > FLUX > SDXL
Detection by name/base:
- flux2_klein: "klein" in name or "flux2" in base
- flux_krea: "krea" in name (FLUX.1 base)
- flux_kontext: "kontext" in name (FLUX.1 base)
- flux_schnell: "schnell" in name (FLUX.1 base)
- flux: "flux" in base (standard dev)
- zimage: "z-image" in base or "z-image/zimage" in name
- sdxl: "sdxl" in base (turbo/lightning variants auto-detect)
Prompting (general information, but especially useful for FLUX.2 Klein)
Write prose, not keywords. Structure: Subject -> Setting -> Details -> Lighting -> Atmosphere
A weathered fisherman in his late sixties stands at the bow of a wooden boat,
wearing a salt-stained wool sweater. Golden hour sunlight filters through
morning mist, creating quiet determination and solitude.Key techniques:
- Front-load critical elements (word order matters)
- Specify lighting: source, quality, direction, temperature
- Include sensory texture: materials, reflections, atmosphere
Good: "A woman with short blonde hair poses against a light neutral background wearing colourful earrings, resting her chin on her hand."
Bad: "woman, blonde, short hair, neutral background, earrings"
Append style tags: Style: Country chic. Mood: Serene, romantic.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Connection refused | Check InvokeAI is running |
| Model not found | Use --list-models for valid keys |
| Dimensions error | FLUX: multiples of 16, SDXL: 8 |
| Black images (macOS) | Set precision: bfloat16 in invokeai.yaml |
If the script fails to find the URL or authentication token, you can set or ask the user to set environment variables:
export INVOKEAI_API_URL='http://localhost:9090'
export INVOKEAI_AUTH_TOKEN='your-token' # OptionalResources
