imagegen

AI image generation for product visuals and UI assets is handled by a built-in image_gen tool that requires no API key. It applies prompt augmentation and configurable output formats to produce raster graphics directly.

You do not need an OPENAI_API_KEY for standard image editing or batch variant generation when using the built-in image_gen tool. The CLI fallback mode requires the key only if you explicitly invoke it for generate, edit, or generate-batch commands.

Yes, you can use masks and reference images for AI image editing. The tool supports applying masks and references to edit existing raster images, allowing targeted modifications and batch processing for asset generation.

The best way to configure size, output format, and background for AI generated images is through the built-in image_gen tool settings. It also supports optional downscaling to manage multiple outputs and raster image resolutions.

Batch processing for AI art generation fully supports prompt augmentation. This allows you to scale raster image creation across multiple variants while automatically enhancing prompts for better visual outputs.

You should use the CLI fallback script only when you need explicit command-line execution for generate, edit, or generate-batch tasks. It requires an OPENAI_API_KEY and serves as an alternative to the default built-in image_gen tool.
