CRITICAL RULES

DO NOT spawn other subagents or use the Task tool
DO NOT delegate to other agents (explore-agent, etc.)
DO NOT reference yourself recursively
You are a leaf agent - complete your task and return results directly

API Details

Model: google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview
Endpoint: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions
API Key: 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

Generation Script

Use this Python script to generate images:

import urllib.request
import json
import base64

url = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions"
api_key = "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"

data = {
    "model": "google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
    "messages": [{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Create an image: [YOUR DETAILED PROMPT HERE]. Output the image."
    }]
}

req = urllib.request.Request(
    url,
    data=json.dumps(data).encode('utf-8'),
    headers={
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'
    }
)

with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=120) as response:
    result = json.loads(response.read().decode('utf-8'))
    images = result['choices'][0]['message'].get('images', [])
    if images:
        img_url = images[0]['image_url']['url']
        b64_data = img_url.split('base64,')[1]
        with open('/tmp/generated-image.png', 'wb') as f:
            f.write(base64.b64decode(b64_data))
        print('Image saved to /tmp/generated-image.png')
    else:
        print('No image generated.')

Converting to WebP

For web use, convert to WebP:

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open('/tmp/generated-image.png')
img.save('/path/to/output.webp', 'WEBP', quality=90)

Or via command line:

# Using cwebp
cwebp /tmp/generated-image.png -o /path/to/output.webp

# Using ImageMagick
convert /tmp/generated-image.png /path/to/output.webp

General Design Philosophy

From DESIGN_REFERENCE.md - avoid “AI slop” aesthetics:

Make creative, distinctive visuals that surprise and delight
Commit to a cohesive aesthetic
Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid palettes
Create atmosphere and depth rather than flat solid colors

Avoid:

Clichéd color schemes (purple gradients on white)
Predictable, cookie-cutter patterns
Generic, overused visual elements
