SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires Pillow, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Generating game sprites, emblems, and UI ornaments with genuine alpha transparency is error-prone: images often come back with painted backgrounds, fake checkerboards, or unverified formats. This Skill provides a disciplined workflow for producing transparent PNG assets with the built-in Codex image-generation tool and verifying the results before integration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured prompt construction: Defines an asset contract covering purpose, materials, silhouette, padding, and transparent openings, with proven compositions for corner ornaments and centered crests. - Alpha verification: Ships a read-only Python helper that reports format, dimensions, SHA-256, alpha range, and transparent/opaque pixel percentages, rejecting fully opaque or invisible PNGs. - Provenance and integration: Preserves original files byte-for-byte, saves final prompts, and guides responsive UI integration with aspect-ratio-safe sizing. - Use Case: A game developer needs an ornate golden corner frame and matching crest for a health-bar UI. The Skill generates each as an isolated transparent PNG, verifies real alpha coverage, and integrates them with mirrored corners sharing one texture. ## Quick Start Use the codex-gpt-image-2-5-flare skill to generate a transparent PNG corner ornament for my game UI and verify its alpha channel.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate transparent PNG images with Codex image generation?▼

Write a prompt specifying one isolated asset with genuine alpha transparency, describing materials, silhouette, padding, and transparent openings. Call the built-in image_gen.imagegen tool without reference parameters for new images, then verify the output before use.

How to verify a PNG actually has transparency in Python?▼

Run the bundled inspect_png.py script with --require-transparency and the image path. It uses Pillow to report alpha range and transparent, partial, and opaque pixel percentages, failing if the PNG is fully opaque or entirely invisible.

Can I edit an existing image instead of generating a new one?▼

Yes. Inspect each local target with view_image first, then pass referenced_image_paths to the image generation tool. Use num_last_images_to_include only for targets without local paths, and never combine both reference mechanisms.

Does the built-in image tool let me select a specific model like GPT 2.5 Flare?▼

No. The current built-in tool exposes no model selector, and GPT 2.5 Flare is only the workflow's requested name. Never invent a model argument or report an unverified model as fact.

Why does my generated PNG look transparent but fail verification?▼

RGBA mode alone does not prove transparency; the alpha channel can be fully opaque, and painted checkerboards mimic transparency visually. The inspection script measures actual alpha pixel distribution to catch these cases.

What are the limitations of this image generation workflow?▼

It cannot select models, sizes, or output paths through tool parameters, and alpha statistics do not confirm intended holes are transparent. If the built-in tool is unavailable, the workflow stops rather than substituting external providers or hand-drawn SVGs.
