Ran the real 600-line script against a local mock OpenAI-compatible server: generation worked end-to-end (valid PNG saved), and an edit call correctly hit /images/edits with multipart form data and surfaced the mock's 404 verbatim, exactly as the docs promise ('report API errors exactly'). A naive from-scratch baseline only covers plain generation — no edit/mask/protocol-fallback/.env support.

What GPT Image 2 API does
A CLI-driven skill that calls an OpenAI-compatible image API (generations and multipart edits, with mask/background/format/quality overrides) using OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL from env or a local .env file. Triggers when the user asks to generate, edit, or produce visual assets/illustrations/variations through a configurable API endpoint.
