SEO Image Gen: AI Image Generation for SEO Assets (Extension)

Generate production-ready images for SEO use cases using Gemini's image generation via the banana Creative Director pipeline. Maps SEO needs to optimized domain modes, aspect ratios, and resolution defaults.

When to Use

  • Use when generating OG images, hero images, schema visuals, infographics, or similar SEO assets.
  • Use when image generation is part of a broader SEO or publishing workflow.
  • Use only when the required image-generation extension is available.

Architecture Note

This skill has two components with distinct roles:

  • SKILL.md (this file): Handles interactive /seo image-gen commands for generating images
  • Agent (agents/seo-image-gen.md): Audit-only analyst spawned during /seo audit to assess existing OG/social images and produce a generation plan (never auto-generates)

Prerequisites

This skill requires the banana extension to be installed:

./extensions/banana/install.sh

Check availability: Before using any image generation tool, verify the MCP server is connected by checking if gemini_generate_image or set_aspect_ratio tools are available. If tools are not available, inform the user the extension is not installed and provide install instructions.
