Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.

Nano Banana Pro Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing ones using Google's Nano Banana Pro API (Gemini 3 Pro Image).

Usage

Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to skill directory first):

Generate new image:

bash

uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "your image description" --filename "output-name.png" [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--api-key KEY]

Edit existing image:

bash

uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "editing instructions" --filename "output-name.png" --input-image "path/to/input.png" [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--api-key KEY]

Important: Always run from the user's current working directory so images are saved where the user is working, not in the skill directory.

Resolution Options

The Gemini 3 Pro Image API supports three resolutions (uppercase K required):

1K (default) - ~1024px resolution
2K - ~2048px resolution
4K - ~4096px resolution

Map user requests to API parameters:

No mention of resolution →
```
1K
```
"low resolution", "1080", "1080p", "1K" →
```
1K
```
"2K", "2048", "normal", "medium resolution" →
```
2K
```
"high resolution", "high-res", "hi-res", "4K", "ultra" →
```
4K
```

API Key

The script checks for API key in this order:

```
--api-key
```
argument (use if user provided key in chat)
```
GEMINI_API_KEY
```
environment variable

If neither is available, the script exits with an error message.

Filename Generation

Generate filenames with the pattern:

yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-name.png

Format:

{timestamp}-{descriptive-name}.png

Timestamp: Current date/time in format
```
yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss
```
(24-hour format)
Name: Descriptive lowercase text with hyphens
Keep the descriptive part concise (1-5 words typically)
Use context from user's prompt or conversation
If unclear, use random identifier (e.g.,
```
x9k2
```
,
```
a7b3
```
)

Examples:

Prompt "A serene Japanese garden" →
```
2025-11-23-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png
```

Prompt "sunset over mountains" →

2025-11-23-15-30-12-sunset-mountains.png

Prompt "create an image of a robot" →
```
2025-11-23-16-45-33-robot.png
```
Unclear context →
```
2025-11-23-17-12-48-x9k2.png
```

Image Editing

When the user wants to modify an existing image:

Check if they provide an image path or reference an image in the current directory
Use
```
--input-image
```
parameter with the path to the image
The prompt should contain editing instructions (e.g., "make the sky more dramatic", "remove the person", "change to cartoon style")
Common editing tasks: add/remove elements, change style, adjust colors, blur background, etc.

Prompt Handling

For generation: Pass user's image description as-is to

--prompt

. Only rework if clearly insufficient.

For editing: Pass editing instructions in

--prompt

(e.g., "add a rainbow in the sky", "make it look like a watercolor painting")

Preserve user's creative intent in both cases.

Output

Saves PNG to current directory (or specified path if filename includes directory)
Script outputs the full path to the generated image
Do not read the image back - just inform the user of the saved path

Examples

Generate new image:

bash

uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "A serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms" --filename "2025-11-23-14-23-05-japanese-garden.png" --resolution 4K

Edit existing image:

bash

uv run ~/.claude/skills/nano-banana-pro/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "make the sky more dramatic with storm clouds" --filename "2025-11-23-14-25-30-dramatic-sky.png" --input-image "original-photo.jpg" --resolution 2K
