Paid Gemini image generation for blog heroes, inline illustrations, and OG cards (direct API by default, optional MCP for edits). Asks for explicit consent before the first paid call. Runs only on an explicit request: /blog image, "generate a blog hero image", "blog illustration", "edit this blog image", "OG image", or when blog-write or blog-rewrite needs a hero. Not for charts (blog-chart) or stock-photo search.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Blog Image - AI Image Generation for Blog Content
Bundled paths below use host Markdown substitution of `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`;
it is not an exported shell variable. Resolve them before execution, quote
paths, and refuse nonabsolute overrides. Pass `blog_reference_root` resolved
from `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/references`, `blog_template_root` from
`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/templates`, and needed sibling roots to agents.
Read the main reference `orchestration-details.md` before loading project
context; pass only its helper-fenced output to downstream agents.
## Cost and consent gate (mandatory, read first)
This skill spends the user's Google AI credit and writes image files.
- **What it spends:** one paid Gemini image call per generated or edited
image. `generate_hero.py` can try up to four model IDs in turn when the
first fails, so budget for that worst case. The stock-photo and Openverse
rungs are free but may need their own keys.
- **Cost basis:** per-image prices at
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing. On 2026-10-12 that page listed
`gemini-nano-banana-2.1` at $0.0336 (1K), $0.0504 (2K), $0.113 (4K) and

How to install
mdr add agricidaniel/claude-blog/blog-image@sha256:fc1960cd16165d16The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
