When this skill needs to render an image:
- **Use whatever image-generation tool or skill is available** in the current runtime — e.g., Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`, `baoyu-image-gen`, or any equivalent the user has installed.
- **Use whatever image-generation tool or skill is available** in the current runtime — e.g., Codex `imagegen`, Cursor `GenerateImage`, Hermes `image_generate`, `baoyu-image-gen`, or any equivalent the user has installed.
- **If multiple are available**, ask the user **once** at the start which to use (batch with any other initial questions).
- **If none are available**, tell the user and ask how to proceed.
**Prompt file requirement (hard)**: write each image's full, final prompt to a standalone file under `prompts/` (naming: `NN-{type}-[slug].md`) BEFORE invoking any backend. The backend receives the prompt file (or its content); the file is the reproducibility record and lets you switch backends without regenerating prompts.
Concrete tool names (`imagegen`, `image_generate`, `baoyu-image-gen`) above are examples — substitute the local equivalents under the same rule.

# Image Generation Tools
Skills in this repo are loaded by multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, other agents, bare CLI). Each runtime exposes a different image-generation capability — some have a runtime-native tool (Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`), others rely on an installed skill (`baoyu-image-gen`, or user-defined). This document defines the canonical **backend-selection rule** every skill that renders images follows so skills stay portable.

## The Rule
@@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ When a skill needs to render an image, resolve the backend in this order:
2. **Saved preference** — if the skill's `EXTEND.md` sets `preferred_image_backend` to a backend available right now, use it.
3. **Auto-select** (when the preference is `auto`, unset, or the pinned backend isn't available):
- **Codex (`imagegen`)** — first, inspect your available-skills / tool inventory. If a skill named `imagegen` is listed, you are running inside Codex and MUST use it: invoke via the `Skill` tool with `skill: "imagegen"`, passing the saved prompt file's content (plus output path and aspect ratio per Codex `imagegen`'s own args). Codex `imagegen` is the official raster backend in that runtime and outranks any non-native skill (e.g., `baoyu-image-gen`) unless the user has explicitly pinned a different `preferred_image_backend`.
- **Cursor (`GenerateImage`)** — if the runtime exposes a native `GenerateImage` tool, you are running inside Cursor and it outranks any non-native skill the same way Codex `imagegen` does. Two hard caveats: (a) it has no aspect-ratio parameter — state the target aspect ratio / dimensions explicitly in the prompt text passed as `description`; (b) it does not accept an output directory — it saves to a tool-managed location, so after generation copy/move the file to the skill's expected output path (e.g., `outputs/.../NN-xxx.png`). Reference images go in `reference_image_paths`.
- **Other runtime-native tools** — if the runtime exposes a different native image tool (e.g., Hermes `image_generate`), use it the same way.
- Otherwise, if exactly one non-native backend is installed (e.g., `baoyu-image-gen`), use it.
- Otherwise (multiple non-native backends with no runtime-native tool), ask the user once — batch with any other initial questions.

Each skill's `references/config/preferences-schema.md` (and its `EXTEND.md` template in `first-time-setup.md`) lists `preferred_image_backend` alongside other preference fields. First-time setup does NOT ask the user about the backend — `auto` is set silently. Users who want to pin a specific backend edit `EXTEND.md` later, and each skill's `## Changing Preferences` section documents the common one-line edits.
