AI Image Generator — CLI Skill
Generate high-quality images from text prompts through the vernclaw-cli. Uses asynchronous processing — submit a job and poll for results.
When to Use
- Create social media visuals from text descriptions
- Generate marketing materials and ad creatives
- Produce illustrations for blog posts or documentation
- Rapid-prototype product concepts and UI mockups
Prerequisites
npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli
Authentication
Before using this skill, check the CLI authentication state:
vernclaw-cli status
If the CLI is not authenticated, run vernclaw-cli login. For CI/CD or headless agents, generate an API key at vernclaw.com/settings/connectors and run vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY.
Invocation
# Basic generation
vernclaw-cli invoke generate.image \
--prompt "A modern office with floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light"
# With size option
vernclaw-cli invoke generate.image \
--prompt "Flat design data visualization, blue palette" \
--size landscape
The command returns a job ID immediately. Use it to check status:
vernclaw-cli job get img_abc123xyz
Parameters
| Flag | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--prompt |
Yes | Text description of the image to generate |
--size |
No | Output size: square, portrait, landscape, banner (default: square) |
Output
invoke and job get print compact JSON to stdout by default:
{"status":202,"data":{}}
Completed or synchronous connector responses use the same compact envelope shape, for example:
{"status":200,"data":{}}
Parse the numeric status first, then read data. The CLI omits provider raw payloads from normal connector output. Use --pretty only for human-readable terminal output, not automation. For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.
On submission — JSON with status and data, including the job ID and estimated wait time.
On completion (via job get) — JSON with status and data, including a normalized summary and image URL metadata:
- Prompt — the text used for generation
- Size — selected option
- Image URL — link to the generated image
- Preview link — browser-viewable preview
Execution mode: asynchronous (standard size 30–60 s, high resolution 1–3 min).
Example Workflow
# 1. Submit image generation
vernclaw-cli status
vernclaw-cli invoke generate.image \
--prompt "Orange cat on a windowsill, sunlight, watercolor style" \
--size square
# 2. Poll for completion
vernclaw-cli job get img_abc123xyz
# 3. Generate a variant
vernclaw-cli invoke generate.image \
--prompt "Orange cat on a windowsill, sunset, oil painting style" \
--size landscape
# 4. Check account status
vernclaw-cli status
