Cal Corum e02eb28e98 refactor: rename skill dirs to verb-based names to reduce autocomplete redundancy
Plugin:skill pairs now read as noun:verb commands instead of repeating
the plugin name. Also added concise descriptions to all SKILL.md frontmatter.

Z-Image - Local AI Image Generation

When to Activate This Skill

  • "Generate an image of..."
  • "Create a picture of..."
  • "Make me an image"
  • "z-image [prompt]"
  • User describes something visual they want generated

Tool

Binary: z-image (in PATH via ~/bin/z-image) Script: ~/.claude/skills/z-image/generate.py Model: Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo (diffusers, bfloat16, CUDA) venv: ~/.claude/skills/z-image/.venv/

Usage

# Basic generation
z-image "a cat sitting on a cloud"

# Custom output filename
z-image "sunset over mountains" -o sunset.png

# Custom output directory
z-image "forest path" -d ~/Pictures/ai-generated/

# More inference steps (higher quality, slower)
z-image "detailed portrait" -s 20

# Disable CPU offloading (faster if VRAM allows)
z-image "quick sketch" --no-offload

Defaults

  • Steps: 9 (fast turbo mode)
  • Guidance scale: 0.0 (turbo model doesn't need guidance)
  • Output: zimage_TIMESTAMP_PROMPT.png in current directory
  • VRAM: Uses CPU offloading by default to reduce VRAM usage

Notes

  • First run downloads the model (~several GB)
  • Requires NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support
  • Output is always PNG format
  • After generating, use the Read tool to show the image to the user
