What This Skill Does

Generates images using the EvoLink z-image-turbo API at approximately $0.0036 per image. Submits a prompt, polls for completion, and saves the result locally. Supports nine aspect ratios and optional NSFW filtering.

At roughly $0.0036 per image, it costs significantly less than most competing text-to-image APIs while still supporting multiple aspect ratios and reproducible seeds.

When to use it

  • Generate a product mockup image from a text description
  • Create a custom illustration for a blog post
  • Batch-generate concept art variants with a fixed seed
  • Produce a 16:9 banner image for a presentation
  • Quickly visualize a scene from a written story
