README

Excerpt

Image Generation

Generate images using Google Gemini (gemini-3-pro-image-preview) for both text-to-image and image-to-image workflows.

Use the packaged CLI:

middleman image generate \
  --prompt "a cute robot bee in a garden" \
  --output "/path/to/output.png"

Image-to-image generation is supported with repeated --input-image flags:

middleman image generate \
  --prompt "turn this sketch into a painted poster with a limited teal and coral palette" \
  --input-image "/path/to/sketch.png" \
  --input-image "/path/to/reference.jpg" \
  --output "/path/to/output.png"
