First-Time Setup

Overview

Triggered when:

1. No EXTEND.md found → full setup (provider + model + preferences)
2. EXTEND.md found but default_model.[provider] is null → model selection only

Flow 2: EXTEND.md Exists, Model Null

When EXTEND.md exists but default_model.[current_provider] is null, ask ONLY the model question for the current provider.

Google Model Selection

header: "Google Model"
question: "Choose a default Google image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "gemini-3-pro-image-preview (Recommended)"
    description: "Highest quality, best for production use"
  - label: "gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview"
    description: "Fast generation, good quality, lower cost"
  - label: "gemini-3-flash-preview"
    description: "Fast generation, balanced quality and speed"

OpenAI Model Selection

header: "OpenAI Model"
question: "Choose a default OpenAI image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "gpt-image-1.5 (Recommended)"
    description: "Latest GPT Image model, high quality"
  - label: "gpt-image-1"
    description: "Previous generation GPT Image model"

Azure Deployment Selection

header: "Azure Deploy"
question: "Choose a default Azure image deployment name?"
options:
  - label: "gpt-image-1.5 (Recommended)"
    description: "Use when your Azure deployment name matches the GPT-image-1.5 model"
  - label: "gpt-image-1"
    description: "Use when your Azure deployment name matches GPT-image-1"

Notes for Azure setup:

• In baoyu-image-gen, Azure --model / default_model.azure should be the Azure deployment name, not just the underlying model family.
• If the deployment name is custom, save that exact deployment name in default_model.azure.

OpenRouter Model Selection

header: "OpenRouter Model"
question: "Choose a default OpenRouter image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview (Recommended)"
    description: "Recommended for image output and reference-image edits"
  - label: "google/gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview"
    description: "Fast preview-oriented image generation"
  - label: "black-forest-labs/flux.2-pro"
    description: "High-quality text-to-image through OpenRouter"

DashScope Model Selection

header: "DashScope Model"
question: "Choose a default DashScope image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "qwen-image-2.0-pro (Recommended)"
    description: "Best DashScope model for text rendering and custom sizes"
  - label: "qwen-image-2.0"
    description: "Faster 2.0 variant with flexible output size"
  - label: "qwen-image-max"
    description: "Legacy Qwen model with five fixed output sizes"
  - label: "qwen-image-plus"
    description: "Legacy Qwen model, same current capability as qwen-image"
  - label: "z-image-turbo"
    description: "Legacy DashScope model for compatibility"
  - label: "z-image-ultra"
    description: "Legacy DashScope model, higher quality but slower"

Notes for DashScope setup:

• Prefer qwen-image-2.0-pro when the user needs custom --size, uncommon ratios like 21:9, or strong Chinese/English text rendering.
• qwen-image-max / qwen-image-plus / qwen-image only support five fixed sizes: 1664*928, 1472*1104, 1328*1328, 1104*1472, 928*1664.
• In baoyu-image-gen, quality is a compatibility preset. It is not a native DashScope parameter.

Replicate Model Selection

header: "Replicate Model"
question: "Choose a default Replicate image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "google/nano-banana-pro (Recommended)"
    description: "Google's fast image model on Replicate"
  - label: "google/nano-banana"
    description: "Google's base image model on Replicate"

MiniMax Model Selection

header: "MiniMax Model"
question: "Choose a default MiniMax image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "image-01 (Recommended)"
    description: "Best general-purpose MiniMax image model with custom width/height support"
  - label: "image-01-live"
    description: "Lower-latency MiniMax image model using aspect ratios"

Notes for MiniMax setup:

• image-01 is the safest default. It supports official aspect_ratio values and documented custom width / height output sizes.
• image-01-live is useful when the user prefers faster generation and can work with aspect-ratio-based sizing.
• MiniMax subject reference currently uses subject_reference[].type = character; docs recommend front-facing portrait references in JPG/JPEG/PNG under 10MB.

Z.AI Model Selection

header: "Z.AI Model"
question: "Choose a default Z.AI image generation model?"
options:
  - label: "glm-image (Recommended)"
    description: "Latest GLM-Image; pixels round to multiples of 32 and cap at 2^22"
  - label: "cogview-4-250304"
    description: "Legacy CogView-4 snapshot with 16-pixel size stepping"
  - label: "cogview-4"
    description: "Earlier CogView-4 snapshot for compatibility"

Notes for Z.AI setup:

• Set ZAI_API_KEY (or legacy BIGMODEL_API_KEY) from https://docs.z.ai/.
• glm-image supports recommended aspect sizes (1280x1280, 1728x960, 1568x1056, …); uncommon ratios auto-fit to the 2^22 pixel budget on multiples of 32.
• Legacy CogView models use 16-pixel stepping and cap at 2^21 pixels per image.
• Z.AI does not accept reference images or n > 1 in baoyu-image-gen; use Google/OpenAI providers for those workflows.

Update EXTEND.md

After user selects a model:

1. Read existing EXTEND.md
2. If default_model: section exists → update the provider-specific key
3. If default_model: section missing → add the full section:

default_model:
  google: [value or null]
  openai: [value or null]
  azure: [value or null]
  openrouter: [value or null]
  dashscope: [value or null]
  minimax: [value or null]
  replicate: [value or null]
  zai: [value or null]

Only set the selected provider's model; leave others as their current value or null.

After Setup

1. Create directory if needed
2. Write/update EXTEND.md with frontmatter
3. Confirm: "Preferences saved to [path]"
4. Continue with image generation
