Error Codes
| Code | Meaning | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
SUCCESS | Operation completed | N/A |
API_KEY_MISSING | GEMINI_API_KEY not set | Export the variable |
FILE_NOT_FOUND | Referenced file missing | Check path |
INVALID_INPUT | Bad prompt or argument | Fix input |
RATE_LIMITED | Too many requests | Wait, uses auto-retry |
NETWORK_ERROR | Connection failed | Check network, auto-retry |
API_ERROR | Gemini API error | Check logs |
CONTENT_POLICY | Blocked prompt | Adjust content |
TIMEOUT | Request timed out | Retry |
PARTIAL_FAILURE | Some batch items failed | Check individual results |
Retry Behavior
The script automatically retries on transient errors:
- Rate limits (429)
- Server errors (502, 503)
- Connection timeouts
- Network errors
Retry uses exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, etc.
Maximum retries configurable with --max-retries (default: 3)
Best Practices
- Prompts: Be specific about style, lighting, composition
- Styles: Use markdown templates for consistent results
- References: Provide visual examples for style matching
- Batch: Generate variations to pick the best
- Iteration: Edit results to refine
- Retries: Increase
--max-retriesfor unreliable connections

nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
