Layer Image Generation

Overview

The loop is the one the layer skill teaches: list_base_models with filter.use_case: "text_to_image", get_base_model, estimate, execute, poll. What separates a usable image from a near miss is the prompt and the per-model contract, not the model choice, which the curated ranking already handles.

Editing an image that already exists is a different use case with different rules: see layer-image-editing. Sprites, icons, and game UI have their own constraints: see layer-game-assets. Holding one look across a set: see layer-reference-sets.

If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (npx skills add layerai/skills --skill <name>); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
