codex-imagegen Wrapper Invocation#

Load this reference only when the Image Generation Tools rule has resolved to codex-imagegen — i.e., the current runtime exposes no native imagegen skill but codex CLI is on PATH with an active codex login.

Preferred path: route through baoyu-image-gen#

If the baoyu-image-gen skill is available in this runtime, always invoke through it rather than calling the wrapper directly. It handles retry/cache/batch/EXTEND.md preferences uniformly with every other provider.

${BUN_X} <baoyu-image-gen-base>/scripts/main.ts \

  --provider codex-cli \

  --image <ABSOLUTE_output> \

  --promptfiles <ABSOLUTE_prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md> \

  --ar <ratio> \

  [--ref <ABSOLUTE_file>]...

Resolve <baoyu-image-gen-base> the same way you resolve any sibling skill — through your runtime's skill registry (Skill tool, plugin marketplace, or $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/).

Fallback: spawn the wrapper directly#

Only when baoyu-image-gen is NOT installed in the current runtime. Discover the wrapper's location at runtime — do NOT hard-code ../../packages/... from this skill:

1. Honor explicit override: if $BAOYU_CODEX_IMAGEGEN_BIN is set and points to a real file, use that path. It may be .ts (spawn bun <path>) or .sh/binary (spawn directly).
2. Search the plugin root: walk up from this skill's directory looking for packages/baoyu-codex-imagegen/src/main.ts. If found, that is the wrapper. Spawn it with bun.
3. Last resort: tell the user that codex-imagegen is not available in this runtime and ask whether to install the baoyu-skills plugin (or set BAOYU_CODEX_IMAGEGEN_BIN) or pick another backend.

Once located, the invocation shape is:

bun <WRAPPER>/main.ts \

  --image <ABSOLUTE_output> \

  --prompt-file <ABSOLUTE_prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md> \

  --aspect <ratio> \

  [--ref <ABSOLUTE_file>]... \

  [--timeout <ms>] \

  [--cache-dir ~/.cache/baoyu-codex-imagegen] \

  [--log-file <ABSOLUTE_jsonl_log_path>]

If bun is missing, npx -y bun <WRAPPER>/main.ts ... works as a fallback.

Parameter notes#

• All filesystem inputs are auto-resolved against process.cwd() when relative, but agents should pass absolute paths to be robust against cwd drift.
• --timeout defaults to 300000 (5 min) per codex exec attempt. Raise (e.g. --timeout 600000 for 10 min) on slow networks or large prompts.
• --cache-dir is off by default. Enable for repeatable runs to skip redundant generations of the same prompt+aspect+refs.
• Authentication: the wrapper uses the user's Codex subscription — no OPENAI_API_KEY is read or sent.

Stdout contract#

Single JSON line:

• Success: {"status":"ok","path":"...","bytes":N,"elapsed_seconds":N,"thread_id":"...","attempts":N,"cached":bool,...}
• Failure: {"status":"error","path":"...","bytes":0,"error":"...","error_kind":"..."}

error_kind values: codex_not_installed, invalid_args, prompt_file_missing, spawn_failed, timeout, no_image_gen_tool_use, output_missing, invalid_png, agent_refused, lock_busy.

On retryable errors (timeout, spawn_failed, no_image_gen_tool_use, output_missing, invalid_png, agent_refused), ask the user whether to retry or fall back to another backend.

Batch semantics#

• Codex image_gen returns one image per call (n=1 only). Multi-image jobs must dispatch one wrapper call per image.
• The wrapper does NOT accept a --sessionId flag. Chain/scene consistency must come from --ref reference images.
• --size and --quality are silently ignored — Codex picks pixel dimensions from --aspect.
