Jeremy Dawes 2d065ac0d9 ai-image-generator: add GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2, released 2026-04-22)
Revised the skill to incorporate gpt-image-2 capabilities that change
when/how to reach for GPT vs Gemini:

- Text rendering actually works (multi-script) — now the primary reason
  to choose GPT over Gemini, superseding GPT Image 1.5 for this use
  case
- 10-variation batch generation — one prompt, 10 images sharing
  composition and palette, good for style exploration + A/B options
- Multi-reference compositing — product + lifestyle scene with correct
  lighting, scale, perspective (enables "product in context" workflows
  without multi-turn editing)
- Instant vs Thinking modes (Thinking = Plus/Pro/Business, plans layout
  before drawing — fewer re-rolls on complex compositions)
- Aspect ratios 3:1 to 1:3 (wider than Gemini)
- 2K standard, 4K beta

Critical constraint documented: GPT Image 2 cannot do transparency.
Fall back to gpt-image-1.5 for transparent icons and logos only.
Generation time up to 2 min → build async UX with 180s timeout.

Updates:
- Model Selection table refined with gpt-image-2 routing + rule of
  thumb (text → GPT 2, otherwise Gemini)
- Model IDs table adds gpt-image-2 and chatgpt-image-latest
- New "GPT Image 2 Specifics" section covering modes, batching,
  multi-reference, aspect ratios, resolution, generation time,
  constraints, pricing
- Determine Image Need table adds text-heavy and batch rows, plus
  splits hero/OG by "with copy" vs "no text" for clear routing
- New code example for 10-variation batch with rendered text (pricing
  card with headline, price, feature lines)
- Common Mistakes adds four new gotchas: gpt-image-2 no transparency,
  gpt-image-1.5 unreliable text (use 2 instead), blocking on 2min
  request, plus the existing Gemini transparency note

SKILL.md 389 lines (was 273), lint passes. 5-part framework, multi-
turn editing, API setup all retained unchanged.
