01 What It Does

Run Image Jobs from Saved Prompts Across Providers

A configurable multi-provider image CLI with saved prompts, reference handling and batch orchestration.

Source-based workflowNot an execution benchmark

The Working Approach

Baoyu Image Gen exposes a script-based interface for image generation across several providers. The reviewed source supports prompt files, explicit output paths, aspect ratios, reference images and batch manifests. Provider selection, model configuration and endpoint dialects are separated from the creative brief.

This distinction matters when the same saved prompts need to be rendered consistently or resumed as a batch. Reference support and sizing rules vary by provider, and the source reports per-image success or failure rather than treating a batch as one undifferentiated result. Its documented model list is a versioned implementation detail, not a promise of current account access or universal feature parity.

Expected Deliverables

  • Image files generated from saved prompts or a batch manifest
  • Per-image completion and failure results
  • A recorded provider, model and output configuration for the run

From Brief to Review

  1. 01
    Configure the Real Backend

    Choose a supported provider and available model, verify credential type and clarify size, quality and reference-image requirements.

  2. 02
    Prepare Reproducible Jobs

    Save prompt files and assign output paths. For a batch, keep each item's references and parameters explicit.

  3. 03
    Run with Bounded Throughput

    Use the configured concurrency and retry policy, inspect returned images and report failures individually rather than silently changing providers.

02 When to Use It

When to Use It

Bun or an npx-based Bun runtime, complete provider adapters and credentials or login for the chosen supported route.

A Good Fit

  • Prepared Image BatchesUseful after creative prompts are finalized and the remaining task is rendering a set of assets.
  • Provider-Specific WorkflowsFits projects needing explicit control over supported reference images, endpoint behavior and output dimensions.

Limits to Check

  • Provider Features DifferNot every backend supports references, the same sizes or the same number of outputs. Verify the selected adapter rather than assuming a shared interface means identical behavior.
  • Authentication Paths DifferThe source distinguishes API-key providers from a logged-in Codex CLI route. A desktop login should not be treated as an API key.

Bring These Inputs

  • Final Prompt FilesProvide stable prompts and the exact paths where each output should be stored.
  • Provider and BudgetIdentify the authorized backend, model and acceptable retry or batch spending.
  • Reference RequirementsSupply permitted reference images and state which subject details must remain unchanged.

03 Decisions That Matter

Decisions That Matter

  1. Execution Separate from Art Direction

    The interface can consume prompts produced by other workflows without reinventing the content plan.

  2. Per-Image Batch Results

    Per-image results make it possible to retry a failed asset without regenerating successful outputs.

Review the Setup

Retain scripts and provider references, then configure preferences. Verify current model availability and charges before running generation.

Bun or an npx-based Bun runtime, complete provider adapters and credentials or login for the chosen supported route.

Start With One Deliverable

Adapt the scope, source material and constraints in this brief before running the skill.

Example Brief
Use baoyu-image-gen to prepare a batch from these six approved prompt files. Use only the configured provider and verify its reference-image support first. Give each job a distinct output path, cap concurrency at two and show the planned retry behavior before execution. Preserve successful images and report any failed item separately without switching authentication routes.

Inspect the Result

Check the actual output against these observable criteria.

  • The actual provider and model match the approved configuration.
  • Reference files are genuinely passed when the task requires them.
  • Every batch item has an output file or an explicit failure reason.

06 Questions Before You Start

Questions Before You Start

Is this the same as the article-illustration Skill?

No. This is the generation interface; article illustration also decides what to depict and where images belong in the text.

Can every provider edit from reference images?

No. The source lists provider-specific support and rejects unsupported combinations.

Does a Codex login replace an OpenAI API key?

The source treats those as different authentication routes. Use only the route supported by the actual runtime and account.
