image-lab-2

Generate image alternatives with the price shown before any spend. Quick: one finished prompt becomes several alternatives across the 2-3 best-fit image models. Variation: controlled variations (camera, lighting, style, aspect) of a brief, optionally from a reference photo, in an Excel workbook where the user ticks the rows to generate. Creative Direction: several different directions for an open brief, one image each first. Each paid batch shows its total and needs one approval. Triggers include "generate that with Image Lab 2", "8 options of this with Image Lab 2", "run Image Lab 2 on this photo", "with Image Lab 2, try different lighting and camera angles", "with Image Lab 2, explore four creative directions". It has to be named with its version: a request that only says "Image Lab" for a single prompt belongs to the older image-lab skill, and a bare "generate an image" to native image generation.

# Image Lab 2

**See the price. Approve each paid batch. Generate in parallel. Keep a record of everything.**

Three modes share one engine (`scripts/image.py`), one ledger and one gate. **Quick**: one finished prompt, spread across the best-fit models, no plan. **Variation** and
**Creative Direction** (together "experiment mode"): a `plan.json` becomes `experiment.xlsx`, where the user ticks the rows to generate.

Setup: run commands from this folder (the one holding this file; for an installed skill, for example `~/.claude/skills/image-lab-2/`) (`python scripts/image.py <command>`); `pip install -r requirements.txt` (experiment mode; quick mode needs nothing); a gateway key in
`LOOMLOOM_TOKEN_COGFOUNDRY` (https://console.cogfoundry.ai/api-keys), needed only for `run`; the loomloom CLI is **not** used. On Windows set `PYTHONUTF8=1` (bash:
`PYTHONUTF8=1 python ...`; PowerShell: `$env:PYTHONUTF8=1`). Keep plans and experiments in a folder of your own (`./image-lab-out/`), never inside the skill folder: an update replaces it. Read `./out/<name>` below as that folder. If your packages are in a virtual environment, call its interpreter (`.venv/Scripts/python` on Windows) in place of `python`, with absolute paths for `--plan` and `--out`. Without `AskUserQuestion` or `SendUserFile`, ask in plain chat and give file paths.
