# Nanobanana Image Generation

Generate and edit images using Google Gemini's image generation capabilities through the Nanobanana MCP server.

## Overview

This skill provides access to Gemini's native image generation and editing features via a local MCP server. Images are generated based on text prompts and can be iteratively refined.

## Capabilities

### generate_image

Create new images from text descriptions.

```
Generate a photorealistic image of a mountain landscape at golden hour
```

### edit_image

Modify existing images with natural language instructions.

```
Edit this image: replace the cloudy sky with a starry night
```

### continue_editing

Apply additional changes to the most recently generated/edited image.

```
Continue editing: add northern lights in the sky
```

## MCP Configuration

The skill bundles the Nanobanana MCP server. Tools are automatically available when this skill loads.

**Server path**: Set `NANOBANANA_MCP_PATH` to your nanobanana-mcp-cliproxyapi installation.

## Usage Examples

### Basic Generation

```
Create an image of a cozy coffee shop interior with warm lighting
```

### Styled Generation

```
Generate a watercolor painting of cherry blossoms over a Japanese garden
```

### Photo Editing

```
Edit the uploaded image: remove the person in the background
```

### Iterative Refinement

```
Generate a cyberpunk cityscape
Continue editing: add flying cars
Continue editing: make it rainy with neon reflections
```

## Output

Generated images are saved locally. The tool returns the file path to the generated image which can be viewed or further edited.

## Tips

- Be specific about style, lighting, and composition
- Use iterative refinement for complex scenes
- Flash model for quick drafts, Pro model for final renders
- See [docs/PROMPTS.md](https://github.com/masrurimz/amp-skill-nanobanana/blob/HEAD/docs/PROMPTS.md) for prompt engineering guide
