Choose how to use this skill

You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.

1. Native installer

This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.

Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.

2. Complete package recommended

Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.

No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.

3. Prompt-only

Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.

Need only the instruction file?

Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.

No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

zimage — Free AI Image Generation Skill


Overview

zimage gives your AI assistant the ability to generate images from natural language. It calls Z-Image-Turbo — an open-source 6B-parameter model by Alibaba's Tongyi-MAI team — through ModelScope's free API.

You:  Create an image of a fox reading a book in a library
AI:   Submitting: a fox reading a book in a library
      Task 91204 — waiting for result…
      Saved → fox_library.jpg

Free tier: 2,000 API calls/day total, 500/day per model. Limits may be dynamically adjusted. (official limits)


Setup

1 — Alibaba Cloud account (free)

Register at https://www.alibabacloud.com/campaign/benefits?referral_code=A9242N

You'll need to verify your phone number and add a payment method during registration. Z-Image itself is free and will not charge you, but Alibaba Cloud requires payment info on file for all accounts.

2 — ModelScope account + binding

  1. Go to https://modelscope.ai/register?inviteCode=futurizerush&invitorName=futurizerush&login=true&logintype=register → sign up (GitHub login works)
  2. Open Settings → Bind Alibaba Cloud Account and link the account from step 1

3 — API token

  1. Visit https://modelscope.ai/my/access/token
  2. Click Create Your Token
  3. Copy it — looks like ms-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Install

Say this in Claude Code:

Install the zimage skill from https://github.com/FuturizeRush/zimage-skill

Then:

Set my MODELSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable to ms-your-token

Restart Claude Code.

openclaw skills install zimage
# or
npx clawhub@latest install zimage
export MODELSCOPE_API_KEY="ms-your-token"
git clone https://github.com/FuturizeRush/zimage-skill.git
cd zimage-skill
pip install Pillow  # optional, for format conversion
export MODELSCOPE_API_KEY="ms-your-token"
python3 imgforge.py "a sunset over the ocean" sunset.jpg

Usage

Through your AI assistant

Just ask naturally:

Generate an image of a cozy coffee shop, warm lighting, cinematic
Draw a pixel-art dragon breathing fire
Create a minimalist logo, blue gradients, clean vector style

Direct CLI

# Basic
python3 imgforge.py "a cat astronaut on Mars"

# Custom size (landscape)
python3 imgforge.py "mountain panorama at golden hour" -o panorama.jpg -W 2048 -H 1024

# Machine-readable output
python3 imgforge.py "abstract art" --json
# → {"ok": true, "path": "output.jpg", "task": "91204"}
