What This Skill Does

The seedream-imagegen skill is a high-performance visual creation tool for OpenClaw AI agents, powered by the ByteDance Seedream 4.5 model via Volcengine Ark API. It transforms user natural language inputs into high-quality images. Unlike standard text-to-image plugins, this skill prioritizes a 'Guided Creative Workflow.' It actively prompts users to define visual styles, emotional tones, artistic directions, and color palettes before rendering, ensuring that the final output aligns perfectly with the user's vision. Whether you need photorealistic assets, 3D renderings, or stylized illustrations, Seedream 4.5 provides the underlying power, while the skill handles the prompt optimization to achieve professional-grade results without requiring complex prompt engineering expertise.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have an active Volcengine Ark API key, then execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wilsonliu95/seedream-imagegen Once installed, set your credentials by exporting the ARK_API_KEY environment variable. The skill will automatically check for this variable during runtime and prompt you for configuration if it is missing.

Use Cases

• Marketing & Branding: Generate unique social media assets, event posters, or promotional graphics from simple descriptions.
• Product Design: Visualize concepts or brainstorm mood boards using various artistic styles and color schemes.
• Content Creation: Craft custom illustrations for blog posts, presentations, or storytelling projects.
• Iterative Design: Use the skill's sequential generation feature to refine visual elements based on real-time feedback from the AI.

Example Prompts

1. "I need a futuristic, cyberpunk-style poster for a tech conference. Can you help me design something with a neon color palette?"
2. "Generate an image of a cozy cottage in the woods. I prefer a hand-drawn illustration style with warm, soft colors."
3. "Make a professional, minimalist logo for a software company that uses blue and white tones and clean, geometric lines."

Tips & Limitations

• Cost Efficiency: Each image costs approximately 0.25 CNY. Avoid batch generating multiple concepts simultaneously; instead, refine your direction through conversation first.
• Guidance First: Always follow the 'Four Core Dimensions' (Style, Tone, Artistic Approach, and Color) to minimize wasted generation attempts.
• Resolution: The model supports high-quality output (2K standard). Request 4K resolution only when ultra-fine detail is strictly necessary for your project requirements.
