# Gemini Image Handoff
A **semi-automatic** route to a Gemini image that needs no API billing. The skill does one half automatically — author a prompt that is optimised for Google's native Gemini image model — and hands the other half to the operator: paste the prompt into the Gemini web UI, generate, and download the image from the chat. It makes **no API call**, needs **no `GEMINI_API_KEY`**, and writes **no image and no sidecar**; the operator owns where the downloaded file lands.
It exists because the `gemini` provider of the `image-generate` tool requires billing (`gemini-2.5-flash-image` reports a Free-Tier quota of `limit: 0`). This skill keeps Gemini reachable for occasional use through the free chat UI, while still applying the verified model baseline so the pasted prompt is actually optimised for Gemini.
## Why this is a skill, not an agent
- **Operator-invoked slash command.** Reached as `/nolte-media:gemini-image-handoff` with a brief; the operator drives it directly.
- **A human step sits between the two halves.** The operator must paste the prompt into the UI and download the result before anything else can happen. An agent's fire-and-forget contract can't wait on a manual UI action.
- **The deliverable flows back into the conversation.** The copy-paste prompt block and the UI steps land in the operator's context to act on immediately.
- Counter-dimension: prompt authoring on its own could be an agent (`graphic-prompt-generator` is exactly that). The load-be
