Use this skill any time the user wants to CREATE or EDIT an image file. This is Claude's only way to generate images or modify photos — there is no other tool for this. Covers generating illustrations, logos, icons, avatars, social media graphics, pixel art, banners, or any visual artwork; editing or transforming existing photos (style transfer, background removal, color correction, restoration, retouching); creating visual assets at specific sizes or aspect ratios. Trigger on any request whose end result is a new or modified image file — "generate art", "edit this photo", "create an icon", "restore this picture", "remove the background", "make this look like a painting", etc. Do NOT trigger for image-related code tasks (file optimization, lazy loading, resizing via code libraries), converting mockups to code, architectural diagrams, or image analysis.
Nanaban includes pricing or quota commentary; at least one code block. The SKILL.md runs to about 622 words, in the catalog's typical mid-range.
