Pure Emerald Level IndicatorsFrequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install api-image?โผ
Run `npx skills add yc-duan/api-image --all -g -y` in your terminal to install this skill globally, then restart your Codex app so it reloads.
Why use api-image instead of built-in imagegen?โผ
It routes image generation through your own OpenAI-compatible provider, which is essential when using Codex in API mode where the native image tool is unavailable.
Can api-image edit existing images?โผ
Yes. It supports reference-guided generation, localized edits with masks, background replacement, and style transfer through the provider's images/edits endpoint.
Does api-image need my API key?โผ
It reads your existing Codex root files (auth.json and config.toml) at runtime, and you can pass a temporary key via an environment variable without saving it anywhere.
Can it generate accurate images of real places or products?โผ
Yes. For factual subjects it researches the web and collects reference images first, then feeds them into the generation so structures, terrain, and details stay accurate.
