ima-image-ai_skill

Overview

This skill integrates with the IMA Open API to generate images from text prompts or existing images. It picks the newest and most popular model by default (SeeDream 4.5) while offering budget and premium options. Use it when you need clear cost/time estimates, progress updates, and delivered images rendered directly in chat. A valid ima_* API key is required.

How this skill works

The agent sends a prompt or source image to IMA Studio, starts a background generation task, and polls for status while pushing user-facing updates. Defaults: text_to_image and image_to_image use SeeDream 4.5 (doubao-seedream-4.5, 5 pts). Other available models: Nano Banana2 (4 pts, budget), Nano Banana Pro (10–18 pts, premium with resolution choices), and Midjourney (8–10 pts, artist-level). When done, the image is posted directly with a caption and an original-link for easy sharing.

When to use it

• Generate high-quality balanced images quickly using the default SeeDream 4.5.
• Choose Nano Banana2 when you want the fastest, lowest-cost runs.
• Choose Nano Banana Pro for premium quality and higher-resolution outputs (1K/2K/4K).
• Use Midjourney for artist-style, aesthetic-first results.
• Perform image-to-image editing by supplying a source image and prompt.

Best practices

• Always recommend the newest, most popular model by default (SeeDream 4.5) unless user requests budget/premium.
• Send an immediate short acknowledgement reply first, then push start/progress/result updates to avoid ordering issues.
• Provide clear model, estimated time, and credit cost in the start notification.
• Send periodic progress updates capped at 95% and display actual runtime on success.
• Translate technical errors into natural-language suggestions and offer 1–2 alternative models.

Example use cases

• Text-to-image: Create a 16:9 landscape with SeeDream 4.5 (default) and receive the rendered image in chat.
• Budget run: Quick social media asset using Nano Banana2 to minimize credits and latency.
• Premium output: High-resolution poster with Nano Banana Pro at 2K or 4K.
• Artistic render: Use Midjourney for stylized, artist-level compositions.
• Image-to-image: Improve or re-style an existing photo using SeeDream 4.5 (default i2i attribute id 1611).
