Image Generation Skill

This skill handles image generation using Pictura MCP tools with the unified provider API.

Triggers

• Generate/create/make images, pictures, visuals
• Multiple aspect ratios, formats, sizes
• Edit/modify existing images
• Upscale/enhance image quality
• List/browse generated images

Available Tools

pictura_generate

Generate images with provider fallback support.

pictura_list

List recent generations.

pictura_gallery

Open HTML gallery in browser. Only call when user explicitly requests it.

pictura_stock_search / pictura_stock_download

For free stock photography instead of AI generation, use pictura_stock_search and pictura_stock_download. See the stock-search skill for details.

CRITICAL: Post-Generation Behavior

After pictura_generate completes:

1. Report the exact absolute file paths from the tool output
2. Use the Read tool to display the generated images to the user
3. NEVER automatically call pictura_gallery unless the user explicitly asks for it
4. NEVER automatically call pictura_list unless the user explicitly asks for it

The gallery is for browsing and should only open when the user uses /pictura:gallery or explicitly asks to "open the gallery" or "browse images".

CRITICAL: Using Reference Images for Changes

Always use the last generated image as a reference when the user requests changes, modifications, or variations.

When the user asks for changes (e.g., "make it more organic", "less circle", "different colors", "add more X"):

1. Identify the last generated image path from the previous generation output
2. Use consistency: "reference" and ref: "<last-image-path>" in the new generation call
3. This ensures visual consistency while applying the requested changes

Example flow:

User: "Generate a blue sky with doodles"
→ pictura_generate(prompt: "...", ratios: ["16:9"])
→ Output: /path/to/output/2026-01-26-153835/blue-sky/16x9.png

User: "The doodles are too circular, make them more organic"
→ pictura_generate(
    prompt: "... doodles scattered organically, NOT in a circle ...",
    ratios: ["16:9"],
    consistency: "reference",
    ref: "/path/to/output/2026-01-26-153835/blue-sky/16x9.png"  ← ALWAYS use the last image
  )

When NOT to use reference:

• User explicitly asks for "something completely different"
• User says "start fresh" or "new concept"
• User provides a different reference image themselves

Example Usage

User: "Generate social media images of a coffee shop" Action: Call pictura_generate with preset: "social", then Read the generated image paths to display them

User: "Make the lighting warmer" (after previous generation) Action: Call pictura_generate with the same ratios, updated prompt, and consistency: "reference" with ref set to the previous image path

User: "The colors are too muted, make them more vibrant" Action: Call pictura_generate with updated prompt and ref pointing to the last generated image

User: "Open the gallery" Action: Call pictura_gallery

User: "Show me my recent images" Action: Call pictura_list
