Generate Image with Omelet CLI

Generate images using Google Gemini API. Supports free-form prompts and blog-specific featured images with style presets.

Prerequisites

omelet CLI installed (pip install omelet)
Google API key configured in ~/.omelet.json or GOOGLE_API_KEY env var (if not set, the CLI will prompt interactively)

Usage

Blog featured image (most common)

Generate a styled featured image for a blog post:

omelet generate-image --blog "Topic Name" --style academic -o path/to/featured.png

Free-form image generation

Generate an image from any text prompt:

omelet generate-image "Your detailed prompt here" output.png

Available styles for blog images

Style	Description
`academic`	Black & white line art, textbook figure style (default)
`tech`	Dark blue/purple gradient, glowing geometric elements
`minimal`	Clean white background, simple line art
`colorful`	Vibrant gradients, bold colors, eye-catching

When generating images

Determine the type: Is this a blog featured image or a custom illustration?
Choose the right style: Match the style to the blog's tone
Write a descriptive prompt: For custom images, be specific about layout, elements, and style
Place the output: Save to the blog's directory (e.g., ./blog-name/featured.png)

Prompt tips for custom images

Describe the layout explicitly (left/right, top/bottom, flowchart)
List all elements and labels needed
Specify the visual style
For academic diagrams, include "Figure X:" caption requests

Example: Blog featured image

omelet generate-image --blog "Docker Security" --style academic -o docker-security/featured.png

Example: Custom diagram

omelet generate-image "Academic textbook diagram showing microservice architecture: API Gateway on the left connecting to 3 services (Auth, Users, Orders) on the right, each with its own database below. Style: Black and white line art, clean white background. Include 'Figure 1: Microservice Architecture' caption at bottom." microservices/architecture.png

After generating, add to the markdown file:
