Skillshub nano-banana-2

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview) API. This skill should be used when the user asks to create or modify images, especially when they need fast iteration, explicit aspect-ratio control, or resolution control from 512px to 4K.

Nano Banana 2 Image Generation & Editing

Generate new images or edit existing images with Nano Banana 2 (

gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview
).

Usage

Run the script using absolute or workspace-relative path (do NOT cd into the skill directory first):

Generate new image:

uv run ./.agents/skills/nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "your image description" --filename "output-name.png" [--resolution 512px|1K|2K|4K] [--aspect-ratio RATIO] [--api-key KEY]

Edit image(s) with references:

uv run ./.agents/skills/nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "editing instructions" --filename "output-name.png" --input-image "path/to/input1.png" [--input-image "path/to/input2.png" ...] [--resolution 512px|1K|2K|4K] [--aspect-ratio RATIO] [--api-key KEY]

Always run from the user's current working directory so outputs are saved in the active project context.

Model

Use model code:

  • gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview
    (Nano Banana 2)

Do not use

gemini-3-pro-image-preview
in this skill.

Resolution Options

Nano Banana 2 supports:

  • 512px
    (fastest, low-latency iteration)
  • 1K
    (default)
  • 2K
  • 4K

Map common user language:

  • "quick draft", "thumbnail", "tiny", "512", "0.5K" →
    512px
  • no resolution mention →
    1K
  • "2K", "medium", "normal" →
    2K
  • "4K", "high-res", "ultra", "print quality" →
    4K

Use uppercase

K
for
1K
,
2K
,
4K
.

Aspect Ratios

Supported aspect ratios:

  • 1:1
    ,
    1:4
    ,
    1:8
    ,
    2:3
    ,
    3:2
    ,
    3:4
    ,
    4:1
    ,
    4:3
    ,
    4:5
    ,
    5:4
    ,
    8:1
    ,
    9:16
    ,
    16:9
    ,
    21:9

Map common requests:

  • square post / icon →
    1:1
  • phone wallpaper / vertical reel →
    9:16
  • widescreen / slide / hero image →
    16:9
  • cinematic wide →
    21:9
  • portrait print →
    2:3
    or
    3:4
  • panorama banner →
    4:1
    or
    8:1

If unspecified, let the model default behavior apply.

Reference Images (New in Gemini 3 Image workflows)

Provide up to 14 reference images when needed by repeating

--input-image
:

  • preserve character consistency
  • preserve object fidelity
  • combine multiple visual references into one output

Use one image for simple edits; use multiple images for composition or consistency-sensitive tasks.

API Key

Resolve API key in this order:

  1. --api-key
    argument
  2. GEMINI_API_KEY
    environment variable

If no key is available, stop and report a clear error.

Filename Generation

Generate filenames as:

yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-name.png

Examples:

  • 2026-02-26-17-31-04-japanese-garden.png
  • 2026-02-26-17-31-59-social-banner.png

Prompt Handling

For generation, pass the user's request as-is unless critically underspecified. For editing, include explicit transformation instructions in the prompt and preserve the original intent.

Output

  • Save PNG to the current directory (or to a provided path in
    --filename
    )
  • Return the full saved path(s)
  • Do not read the output image back unless explicitly requested

Examples

Create a 4K widescreen image:

uv run ./.agents/skills/nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "Futuristic city skyline at blue hour with neon reflections" --filename "2026-02-26-17-45-00-futuristic-skyline.png" --resolution 4K --aspect-ratio 16:9

Edit with multiple references:

uv run ./.agents/skills/nano-banana-2/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "Create a polished campaign image that keeps the exact logo details and character identity" --filename "2026-02-26-17-50-10-campaign-image.png" --input-image "logo.png" --input-image "character.png" --resolution 2K --aspect-ratio 4:5
