# pixeltamer — generate, edit, and compose images with gpt-image-2
Image generation that actually does what you asked for. Two backends so you don't have to pick a side: bring an OpenAI API key OR use the codex CLI signed in to your ChatGPT subscription. Same skill, same prompts, same output format, your choice of how to pay.
## When to use this
Trigger this skill when the user asks for any of:
- A new image, poster, illustration, photograph, mockup, icon, sticker, sprite, logo, hero, infographic, ad creative, scroll-stop card, magazine cover, podcast art, product shot, banner, OG image, social card, character reference sheet, app screen, dashboard mockup
- An *edit* of an existing image (modify, inpaint, mask, change-only-X)
- A *composition* of multiple reference images blended into one
- A batch of related images to be generated together with verification
If the request is "make me an image" or any flavor of it, this is the skill.
