⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 30, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
The 111-line script is honest about what it does — build the request, save the returned image, no telemetry — and it wires up correctly: after the documented venv setup it reached generativelanguage.googleapis.com and came back with a real 400 API_KEY_INVALID, so the plumbing is sound but the actual image is unverifiable without a paid Google AI Studio key. Two rough edges cost it points. Run it with no key and it tells you to `export GOOGLE_API_KEY`, while the code only ever reads GEMINI_API_KEY, so a first-time user follows the error message into a dead end. The README's own install snippet clones a repo name that no longer matches and omits `mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills`, which we confirmed installs nothing at all on a fresh machine.

What Gemini Image Generator does
A small Python CLI that calls Google's gemini-3-pro-image-preview model to generate an image from a text prompt, optionally guided by one or more reference images, at 1K, 2K or 4K and saved to a path you choose. Triggers when you ask Claude to generate, create or edit an image file rather than describe one. Needs a Google AI Studio API key and a one-time virtualenv setup.
How to install Gemini Image Generator
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Gemini Image Generator skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from mkdev-me/agent-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Gemini Image Generator work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 30, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass.

- How do I install Gemini Image Generator?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Gemini Image Generator with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
