AI Image Generator Skill

Overview

Generate, compose, and edit product images, brand visuals, posters, social graphics, illustrations, and photo variations, from inside Claude Code, Codex, or OpenClaw. The work is produced on the hosted, paid Beatra service (`mcp.beatra.ai`).

This catalog entry is a **reviewed pointer, not the executable package**. It contains no client code and performs no Beatra operation by itself. The package it points to bundles three standard-library Python scripts that make network calls, store a credential, and can replace their own files. Read [Install](#install-pinned-verified-approved-twice) and [Security & Safety Notes](#security--safety-notes) before activating it.

The archive holds regular files only (no symlinks, no executable bits, no binaries). Confirm that with the inspect commands below. Every file must be byte-identical to the source tree at the pinned commit.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user explicitly wants AI Image Generator work produced on Beatra and accepts that it is paid.
• Use when they have agreed to send prompts and any reference images to a third party.
• Do not use for local-only image editing or when no paid render was approved.

Install (pinned, verified, approved twice)

Step 1: Download and verify into a review directory

Explain that this downloads an external package from `cdn.beatra.ai`, then ask for approval. Only after approval:

umask 077
review_dir="$(mktemp -d)"
cd "$review_dir" || exit 1
curl -fsSLO "https://cdn.beatra.ai/agent-packages/ai-image-generation-studio/v0.1.4/ai-image-generation-studio-skill-0.1.4.zip"
printf '%s  %s\n' \
  'b357edb0f9f2546435c89cf1ef8278596e28a7629229a78fcab9804decd13682' \
  'ai-image-generation-studio-skill-0.1.4.zip' | shasum -a 256 -c -

Stop if the check does not print `OK`. The expected digest comes from this catalog entry, not from a file on the same CDN.

Step 2: Inspect before activation

unzip -l ai-image-generation-studio-skill-0.1.4.zip
unzip -q ai-image-generation-studio-skill-0.1.4.zip
find ai-image-generation-studio -type l -print            # expect no output
find ai-image-generation-studio -type f -perm -111 -print # expect no output
grep -n '"auto_update": True' ai-image-generation-studio/scripts/mcp_client.py

Optionally confirm byte identity with the public source tree (a second, independent host):

git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/beatra-ai/ai-image-generator-skill.git src
git -C src checkout --quiet 13c7b9b2a2197fb91deb6a3a1466124db620c3d1 -- skills/ai-image-generation-studio
(cd ai-image-generation-studio && find . -type f | LC_ALL=C sort | xargs shasum -a 256) > archive.sha
(cd src/skills/ai-image-generation-studio && find . -type f | LC_ALL=C sort | xargs shasum -a 256) > tree.sha
cmp archive.sha tree.sha && echo IDENTICAL

Report to the user what the review found: `SKILL.md`, `manifest.json`, the bundled Markdown references, and `scripts/authorize.py`, `scripts/mcp_client.py`, `scripts/uninstall.py` (Python 3.10+, standard library only, no dependency installation, no lifecycle hooks). Summarize the network, credential, local-state, telemetry, and self-update behavior listed under [Security & Safety Notes](#security--safety-notes).

Step 3: Copy in and disable self-update before any other command

Ask for a **second, separate** approval, because this changes agent configuration. Then copy the reviewed tree to the host's skills directory (Claude Code shown; use the equivalent path for other hosts) and immediately turn off silent self-update for that exact path:

dest="$HOME/.claude/skills/ai-image-generation-studio"
test ! -e "$dest" || { echo "destination exists; stop and ask the user"; exit 1; }
cp -R ai-image-generation-studio "$dest"
python3 "$dest/scripts/mcp_client.py" update --auto off

The last command must print `Automatic Beatra package updates are disabled.` It writes only `~/.beatra/updates/<id>/state.json` and makes no network request. Run it before `authorize.py`, `verify`, `tools`, `upload`, or `call`: in this pinned version self-update is **on by default**. The setting is keyed to the resolved install path, so repeat it after moving or re-copying the directory.

Step 4: Authorize as its own decision

Authorization opens a browser sign-in and stores a bearer token. Ask first.

python3 "$dest/scripts/authorize.py"

Start a new agent session if the host discovers skills only at startup.

How It Works

1. Read the installed package's `SKILL.md` and its references; they define the routes, payload shapes, and review loop. 2. Use free, non-billable discovery first (`beatra.models.list`, task list) to read current model cards and credit estimates. 3. Sh
