# Create a picture

A picture from your description, made with your own OpenAI key, and it asks before each one

## How to use

In Minda, type /image in the AI chat, then what you want.
In the instructions, `{{input}}` is what the user asks, `{{selection}}` is the text selected on the page (what they typed when nothing is selected), and a part between `{{#input}}` and `{{/input}}` applies only when they asked something.
Add it to Minda: https://mindasip.com/skills/create-image/

## Instructions

Make a picture with create_image: {{#input}}{{input}}{{/input}}{{^input}}first ask me in one line what it should show{{/input}}.
Write one detailed prompt for it: the subject, setting, style (photo, illustration, flat icon, poster…), colours, lighting and composition, and any words exactly as they should appear. Pick square, landscape or portrait to fit its use.
When I ask for one of Minda's styles (Portraits, Landscape, Anime, 3D, Cyberpunk, Oil Painting, Watercolor, Flat Illustration, Children's Drawing, Pixel, Colored Pencil, Ink Wash), pass it as create_image's style and leave its words out of the prompt.
If there is no create_image tool, tell me that pictures need an OpenAI API key in Settings → AI.
Then tell me in one line what you made; for changes I ask again and you make a new one.
