## Overview

- **Controlled references:** assign each input image a role such as subject, material, composition, or style

## Capabilities

| Model | publicModelId | Input |

| Seedream 5.0 Lite Text-Accurate Image | `public_model_seedream_5_0_lite` | Prompt with optional reference images |

The default route is `COST_FIRST`. Pass live model options with `--param key=value`; supported values come from the current AI Hive `imageConfig`.

pip3 install requests
python3 "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/imagegen.py" init --skill-name seedream-5-lite-exact-text-image
python3 "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/imagegen.py" generate \

```

## Usage Scenarios

### 1. Core generation or edit

```bash
python3 "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/imagegen.py" generate \
  --prompt "Create a polished seedream 5.0 lite text-accurate image result; preserve factual product details and leave useful copy space"
```

### 2. E-commerce main image

```

### 3. Product detail page

python3 "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/imagegen.py" generate --prompt "Complex commercial image brief" --no-download
python3 "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/imagegen.py" task --task-id <taskId>
```

## Command Reference

| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `--prompt` | Describe the image or edit |
| `--image` | Supply one or more reference images |
| `--batch` | Request multiple results |
| `--param key=value` | Pass live model parameters |
| `--routing COST_FIRST` | Select the cost-first route |
| `--no-download` | Submit and return the task ID without waiting |

## API Key

Run the `init` command above, or set `AI_HIVE_API_KEY`, use `--api-key`, or create `~/.ai-hive/config.json`. API keys use the `sk-api-*` format. Never commit a real API key.

## Reliability and Cost

The script looks up the live model entry and pricing snapshot at runtime. Model availability, reference-image limits, parameters, and prices can change. Keep a returned task ID and query the existing task instead of submitting a duplicate that may be billed twice.

## Troubleshooting

- Missing reference image: add the number of `--image` inputs required by this skill.
- `401 Unauthorized`: verify that the API key is complete, active, and not committed to source control.
- Invalid parameter: inspect the current `imageConfig` for accepted values and image limits.
- Local timeout: keep the task ID and use the `task` command later.
