Apply the model-choice rules below before any API call.command -v gpt-image), installed tool lists when the tool manager exists, or the runtime’s own skill registry when available. Do not assume a local home path in cloud/hosted runtimes..env, or write API keys unless the user explicitly requested setup. Global/shared installs are opt-in only.gpt-image or scripts/generate.py with an explicit --model. Do not create a new generate.py, SDK wrapper, or ad-hoc script for normal image requests.Fast path: confirmed 2.5 model + precise prompt + “generate now” → preflight and CLI, without a mandatory reference/craft pass. Do not reconfirm an exact valid model.
| Choice | API model ID | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| Flare | gpt-image-2.5-flare | Fast general generation and drafts |
| Sunburst | gpt-image-2.5-sunburst | Precise reference edits and detailed control |
| Image 2 | gpt-image-2 | Existing Image 2 workflows and compatibility |
gpt-image-2.5 as an API model ID.--model. The CLI retains gpt-image-2 as its backward-compatible default, but that default is not a substitute for the agent resolving the user's choice.references/models.md when parameter support or validation status needs checking. On an invalid-model, access/403, quota, or policy failure, report the failure and stop; do not switch models or rewrite the prompt to retry automatically.Preferred call order:
# Existing CLI on PATH
gpt-image --model MODEL_ID -p "PROMPT" [-f OUT] [-i REF...] [-m MASK] [options]
# Installed skill folder; use runtime-provided skill path when available
uv run "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/generate.py" --model MODEL_ID -p "PROMPT" [-f OUT] [-i REF...] [-m MASK] [options]
# Direct transient CLI when the user requested setup/one-off CLI execution
uvx --from git+https://github.com/wuyoscar/gpt_image_2_skill gpt-image --model MODEL_ID -p "PROMPT" [options]
scripts/generate.py is a launcher: repo-local src/gpt_image_cli → installed gpt-image → PATH gpt-image → transient uvx/uv fallback.

--compression | 0-100 | JPEG/WebP compression |
--user | string | Optional end-user identifier |
Quality starting points (not guarantees; keep the user's agreed setting). For 2.5, these take precedence over fixed quality advice in older craft references:
low: cheap drafts and broad exploration; multiple variants require user authorization.medium: normal exploration, style probing, balanced cost.high: CLI default and a candidate for final assets, dense text, diagrams and UI. On 2.5, evaluate against the task requirements; do not assume medium fails or a higher setting always wins.xhigh / max: 2.5-only options for higher-quality work; discuss the cost trade-off before increasing an already agreed quality. Do not use them automatically for budget-conscious requests.Size policy:
