Image Agent - Multi-Vendor Image Router

Scheduling

Goal

Generate images and visual assets through authenticated multi-vendor routing while preserving prompt clarity, reference-guided regeneration, cost controls, and reproducible output manifests.

Intent signature

• User asks to generate images, visual assets, illustrations, product photos, concept art, mockups, or AI art.
• Another skill needs shared image-generation infrastructure.
• User provides reference images for a new generated variation or asks for vendor comparison.

When to use

• Generating images, visual assets, illustrations, product photos, concept art
• Comparing output between multiple image models for the same prompt
• Producing images from prompts within editor workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI)
• Other skills needing image generation infrastructure (shared invocation)
• Regenerating a new image that follows a supplied reference's subject, style, lighting, or composition

When NOT to use

• Pixel-level editing, masking, inpainting, object removal, compositing, cropping, resizing, or format conversion -> out of scope; use an image editor or a tool that explicitly supports that operation.
• Generating videos or audio -> out of scope
• Inline vector art / SVG composition from structured data -> use a templating skill
• Simple asset resizing or format conversion -> use a dedicated image library

Expected inputs

• Image prompt or creative brief
• Optional vendor, size, quality, count, output directory, and reference images
• Authentication/environment state for Codex, Pollinations, or Gemini

Expected outputs

• Generated image files under .agents/results/images/ or requested output directory
• manifest.json with prompt, vendor, model, and reproducibility metadata
• Vendor comparison outputs when --vendor all is used
