This is a catalog pointer to OpenAI's image generation skill that wraps their DALL-E API for creating project visuals. You'd reach for it when you need UI mockups, icons, social cards, or quick visual references without leaving your coding environment. The skill itself lives in OpenAI's upstream repository, so you'll need to pull down the full bundle to actually use it. Think of this as a discovery mechanism that makes Claude aware the capability exists during planning. It's straightforward if you already use OpenAI's image API and want programmatic access through an agent, though you're still on the hook for managing API keys and the upstream installation yourself.

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/openai/skills

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (imagegen) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
