Dependencies

This skill requires:

• curl: Usually built-in

Processing Flow

1. Parse Arguments

• Parse --prompt (required)
• Parse model, size, quality, n options

2. Check User Credits

• Call /api/v1/auth/me to get user info
• Image generation uses pre-deduct billing based on model, size, quality, and count
• If insufficient credits, prompt user to recharge

3. Send Image Generation Request

• Call POST /api/v1/ai/imagegen with JSON body
• Wait for image generation (may take 10-30 seconds)

4. Return Result

• Display CDN URLs for generated images
• If --output specified, download each image using curl:

  curl -o output_1.png "https://img.panpan8.com/proxy/imagegen/xxxx.png"
  

• Show credits consumed

Credit Consumption

Image generation uses pre-deduct billing. Cost depends on model, size, quality, and number of images.

Example Conversation

User: /imagegen -p "a cute robot reading a book in a library"

You:

1. Parse arguments - prompt text, default settings
2. Check user credits
3. Send imagegen request to /api/v1/ai/imagegen
4. Display generated image URL and credits consumed

User: /imagegen --prompt "product photo of a red sneaker on white background" --size 1024x1536 --quality high --n 2 --output ./images/

You:

1. Parse arguments - prompt, portrait size, high quality, 2 images, save to directory
2. Check user credits (higher cost for high quality × 2 images)
3. Send imagegen request
4. Download 2 images to ./images/
5. Show credits consumed

Notes

• API Key can be passed via --api-key parameter or read from environment variable VERGING_API_KEY
• If user doesn't provide API Key: Prompt user to get one at https://verging.ai
• Generation may take 10-30 seconds depending on model and quality
• Maximum 4 images per request
• Images are uploaded to CDN and returned as URLs
• Pre-deduct billing: credits are frozen before processing, confirmed after success
• Content policy: prompts violating content policy will be rejected (400 error)

Privacy and Security
