Asset Generation

Generate images from text prompts using the Gemini model and save them to the project's /assets directory.

Prerequisites

• Set GEMINI_API_KEY in a .env.tools file at the project root (see asset-generation/README.md).
• Node.js installed.

When to use this skill

Use when:

• The user asks to generate an image (logo, illustration, graphic, placeholder, etc.)
• The user says "create an asset" / "make a graphic" / "I need an image for..."
• A visual asset is needed for the project and no existing file fits

Workflow

1. Clarify the Prompt

Before generating, make sure you have a clear prompt:

• What is the image for? (icon, hero image, placeholder, illustration, etc.)
• What style? (flat, realistic, minimal, etc.)
• Any specific colors, dimensions, or constraints?
• What filename should it have?

If the user gave a clear enough description, proceed directly.

2. Generate the Image

node asset-generation/scripts/generate-image.mjs \
  --prompt "your detailed prompt here" \
  --output assets/filename.png

The script will:

• Send the prompt to the Gemini API
• Save the generated image to the specified path
• Create the /assets directory if it doesn't exist

3. Verify the Output

• Confirm the file was created at the expected path
• Report the file path and size to the user
• If the result doesn't match expectations, refine the prompt and regenerate

Rules

• Always confirm the prompt with the user before generating (unless it's already specific)
• Use descriptive filenames — hero-banner.png not image1.png
• Save to /assets directory by default, unless the user specifies another location
• Don't overwrite existing files without asking
