  • generate, create, draw, or make an image / picture / illustration / photo
  • create thumbnails, avatars, banners, or social-media graphics
  • visualize a concept, scene, or character
  • Generating an Image

    python3 SKILL_DIR/imgforge.py "PROMPT" -o OUTPUT_PATH

    Add quality keywords for better output: "4K", "cinematic", "professional photography", "dramatic lighting", "shallow depth of field".

    Specify a style: "oil painting", "watercolor", "anime", "pixel art", "minimalist vector".

    Environment

    Requires MODELSCOPE_API_KEY. If the user hasn't set it, guide them:

    1. Create a free Alibaba Cloud account (phone verification + payment method required, but Z-Image is free) → https://www.alibabacloud.com/campaign/benefits?referral_code=A9242N 2. Sign up at https://modelscope.ai/register?inviteCode=futurizerush&invitorName=futurizerush&login=true&logintype=register and bind the Alibaba Cloud account in settings 3. Create a token at https://modelscope.ai/my/access/token 4. Set the environment variable: export MODELSCOPE_API_KEY="ms-..."

    For Claude Code users, add to ~/.claude/settings.json under "env".

    Errors

    | Symptom | Cause & fix | |---------|-------------| | 401 Unauthorized | Token is from modelscope.cn (wrong site) — must use modelscope.ai. Or Alibaba Cloud account not bound. | | Timeout after 150s | API under load — retry in a minute | | Content moderation | Rephrase the prompt — Alibaba's filter blocked it |
