# Replicate — Image Generation

Generates images from text prompts using three Replicate-hosted models chosen for complementary strengths in knowledge-work production.

## Capabilities

- **image-generate** — produce images from text prompts. Three models: `nano-banana-pro` (photorealistic, data-driven visuals, multilingual text rendering), `recraft-v4` (design-quality compositions, branded assets, supports SVG), `flux-schnell` (fast drafts for iteration).
- **replicate-key-store** — validate and store a Replicate API token.
- **replicate-key-verify** — check whether a stored token is still valid.

## API token

Requires a Replicate API token (`r8_` prefix). Obtained from https://replicate.com/account/api-tokens. Stored at `~/.replicate/api-token` with `0o600` permissions. The `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN` environment variable takes precedence when set.
