Qwen Skill

Generate and edit images with Qwen Image via DashScope API. This is a skill, not a callable tool. First use the read tool to open this SKILL.md, then run the script it specifies; never emit a tool call named qwen-image.

Qwen Image Skill

Use this skill for:

• text-to-image generation
• image-to-image editing (single image)
• multi-image fusion/editing (1 to 3 input images)
• never for file renaming by image understanding

Runtime behavior (strict)

• qwen-image is a skill name, not a built-in tool name.
• Never emit a tool call named qwen-image.
• First use read on this SKILL.md, then execute the Python command below.
• Hard requirement: do not answer from imagination. You must execute the script first.
• Hard requirement: do not output markdown image syntax like ![](...).
• Hard requirement: do not output JSON object in final assistant reply.
• Hard requirement: do not describe image content unless the script actually ran successfully.
• Hard requirement: never output MEDIA: in tool-stage outputs; only output MEDIA: in the final assistant reply.
• Hard requirement: never transform MEDIA: lines into markdown image links.
• Hard requirement: do not use this skill for OCR, pure image understanding, or filename renaming tasks.
• If the user asks to rename files by image content, use qwen-vision-rename instead.
• Run the command directly; do not output pre-check/process narration.
• Do not read or print this SKILL.md or script source unless command fails.
• Do not output installation/config instructions unless the user explicitly asks for setup.
• Use script flag --emit-media-ref.
• On success:
  1. parse the last MEDIA_REF:<path-or-url> line from stdout (ignore preceding shell noise lines)
  2. final reply must be exactly one line: MEDIA:<path-or-url>
  3. if missing MEDIA_REF:, retry command once
• If command was not executed, do not send a final answer.
• On failure, output exactly 2 short Chinese sentences:
  1. failure reason
  2. actionable fix

Setup

Install dependencies:

bash

pip3 install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt

Set API key:

bash

export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Optional region switch:

bash

export DASHSCOPE_REGION="sg"  # sg or bj

Or use .env (auto-loaded from current directory, then {baseDir}):

bash

cat > .env <<'EOF'
DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=your_api_key
DASHSCOPE_REGION=sg
OPENCLAW_MEDIA_OUTBOUND_DIR=~/.openclaw/media/outbound
OPENCLAW_MEDIA_BASE_URL=
EOF

Static URL mapping example (Nginx):

nginx

location /gen/ {
  alias /home/huiya/.openclaw/media/outbound/;
  autoindex off;
}

Commands

Text to image:

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qwen_image.py text2img \
  --prompt "A futuristic tea shop in Shanghai at night, cinematic lighting" \
  --model qwen-image-2.0-pro \
  --size "1024*1024" \
  --n 1 \
  --emit-media-ref \
  --publish-dir ~/.openclaw/media/outbound \
  --out-dir {baseDir}/tmp/qwen-image

Image to image:

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qwen_image.py img2img \
  --images ./input.png \
  --prompt "Keep composition, convert this to watercolor style" \
  --model qwen-image-2.0-pro \
  --n 1 \
  --emit-media-ref \
  --publish-dir ~/.openclaw/media/outbound \
  --out-dir {baseDir}/tmp/qwen-image

Notes

• Recommended default: qwen-image-2.0-pro (quality first). qwen-image-2.0 can be used for faster/cheaper runs.
• Input images can be local paths, public URLs, or data:image/...;base64,....
• Returned image URLs are temporary. The script downloads images immediately to --out-dir.
• Published images are copied to OPENCLAW_MEDIA_OUTBOUND_DIR (default: ~/.openclaw/media/outbound).
• The script also writes .view.html preview pages and uses those URLs in visible text to reduce markdown-image rewrites.
• OPENCLAW_MEDIA_BASE_URL is optional. Keep it empty for portable packaging; set it per deployment only when you need public links (e.g. https://example.com/gen or local http://127.0.0.1:8090).
• --emit-media-ref + final one-line MEDIA: reply is recommended for Feishu to avoid duplicate media sends.
• If you specifically need plain text URL in Control UI, use --reply-format link.
• Existing shell environment variables override .env values.
• If endpoint is not explicitly set, the script auto-retries once with the other region endpoint when receiving InvalidApiKey.
