How to Integrate the **gpt-image-2-style-library** NPM Package into Custom Agents

You can integrate the gpt-image-2-style-library npm package into custom agents by installing it globally, running the built-in CLI to deploy the skill into standard agent directories, then importing the JSON data or invoking the skill directly from your agent runtime.

The gpt-image-2-style-library package transforms the complete GPT‑Image‑2 style library—categories, templates, style tags, scene tags, and curated example cases—into a reusable agent skill that any LLM‑driven agent can consume. This guide walks through the exact implementation steps, from installation to runtime usage, based on the official freestylefly/awesome-gpt-image-2 repository.


What the Package Provides

The repository ships three tightly coupled components that work together to expose style data to agents:

Component Description Key Source
Style Data data/style-library.json – normalized representation of every category, style, scene, and template data/style-library.json
Agent Skill agents/skills/gpt-image-2-style-library/ – skill manifest, reference docs, and CLI installer agents/skills/gpt-image-2-style-library/SKILL.md
Generation Scripts Build pipeline that converts JSON into skill files scripts/generate-style-skill.mjs

When installed, the skill lands in standard local skill folders (~/.codex/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills), making it discoverable by compatible agent runtimes.


Step 1: Install the Package

Two installation paths exist depending on your agent ecosystem.

Option A: Global NPM Install (Universal)


# Add CLI to your PATH

npm install -g gpt-image-2-style-library

# Deploy skill to all known agent directories

gpt-image-2-style-library install all

For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar runtimes:

npx skills add freestylefly/awesome-gpt-image-2 \
  --skill gpt-image-2-style-library \
  --agent claude-code codex \
  --global --yes --copy

Both methods copy generated skill files into the target directories. The CLI source at agents/skills/gpt-image-2-style-library/bin/install.mjs handles the actual file placement.


Step 2: Understand the Data Schema

The master file data/style-library.json serves as the single source of truth. Its top-level structure includes:

  • version – schema version for compatibility checks
  • categories – UI, poster, illustration, and other output types
  • styles – visual style descriptors
  • scenes – contextual scene tags
  • templates – complete prompt templates with metadata

Each template contains:

Field Purpose
id Unique identifier
anchor / cover Visual references
title / description Localized human-readable labels
category Bounding category value
styles / scenes / tags Classification arrays
useWhen When to apply this template
guidance Best-practice composition rules
pitfalls Common mistakes to avoid
exampleCases Reference case IDs

Step 3: Load and Query the Library in Your Agent

Basic Integration (Node.js)

Import the JSON directly and build matching logic:

// Load the bundled style library
import styleData from 'gpt-image-2-style-library/data/style-library.json' assert { type: 'json' };

// Match user intent to category
function findTemplate(intent) {
  const lowered = intent.toLowerCase();
  const category = styleData.categories.find(c =>
    lowered.includes(c.title.en.toLowerCase()) ||
    lowered.includes(c.title.zh)
  );

  if (!category) return null;

  return styleData.templates.find(t => t.category === category.value);
}

// Assemble production-ready prompt
function buildPrompt(template, subject) {
  return [
    `Subject: ${subject}`,
    `Composition: ${template.guidance.en.join(' ')}`,
    `Style: ${template.styles.join(', ')}`,
    `Scene: ${template.scenes.join(', ')}`,
    `Constraints: ${template.pitfalls.en.join(' ')}`,
    `Aspect Ratio: 16:9`,
  ].join('\n');
}

// Execute
const intent = 'Create an infographic about data pipelines';
const template = findTemplate(intent);

if (template) {
  console.log(buildPrompt(template, 'Data pipelines'));
  console.log('Examples:', template.exampleCases);
}

Output:


Subject: Data pipelines
Composition: Define 3-5 modules, information flow, visual hierarchy, and short labels. Use color groups, arrows, icons, and clean spacing to reduce clutter.
Style: Infographic, Charts
Scene: Education, Tech
Constraints: Avoid long paragraphs inside the image. Limit module count before adding visual detail.
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Examples: 334,1,8


Step 4: Handle Ambiguous Intents with Multi-Candidate Selection

When user intent spans multiple categories, present ranked options:

function findTopTemplates(intent, limit = 3) {
  const lowered = intent.toLowerCase();
  
  return styleData.templates
    .filter(t => t.tags.some(tag => lowered.includes(tag.toLowerCase())))
    .sort((a, b) => a.useWhen.en.length - b.useWhen.en.length)
    .slice(0, limit);
}

// Usage
const candidates = findTopTemplates('Design a product landing page');
candidates.forEach((t, i) => {
  console.log(`${i + 1}. ${t.title.en} — ${t.description.en}`);
});

This pattern lets your agent ask clarifying questions or default to the highest-confidence match.


Step 5: Maintain the Skill Across Updates

The generation pipeline scripts/generate-style-skill.mjs rebuilds skill files whenever style-library.json changes. Refresh your installation by running:

npm run generate:style-skill   # Manual rebuild

npm run predev                 # Runs automatically before dev server

npm run prebuild               # Runs automatically before production build

These scripts are defined in the root package.json and ensure your agent always uses current style definitions.


Runtime Invocation for Compatible Agents

Once installed via the CLI, agents following the skills spec auto-register the skill under name gpt-image-2-style-library. Your agent can then handle natural-language requests like:

"Create an infographic about RAG architecture"

The skill executes its workflow from SKILL.md:

  1. Detect language
  2. Identify output type from intent
  3. Match against categories → styles → scenes → example cases
  4. Return template with guidance, pitfalls, and case references

No manual JSON manipulation required—the runtime handles skill invocation transparently.


Summary

  • Install via npm install -g or npx skills add to deploy into standard agent directories
  • Import data/style-library.json directly for programmatic access to categories, styles, scenes, and templates
  • Query using category matching, tag filtering, or keyword search against template metadata
  • Build prompts by combining template guidance, pitfalls, and exampleCases with user subject
  • Refresh skill files automatically using npm run generate:style-skill when upstream data changes

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install the gpt-image-2-style-library package for multiple agent runtimes?

Run gpt-image-2-style-library install all after global npm installation, or use npx skills add with multiple --agent flags. The CLI at bin/install.mjs copies skill files into ~/.codex/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, and other recognized directories simultaneously.

What data format does the style library use?

The package exposes a versioned JSON schema in data/style-library.json containing arrays of categories, styles, scenes, and fully-specified templates. Each template includes localized titles and descriptions, usage guidance, pitfalls, and linked example case IDs.

Can I use the library without the skills runtime?

Yes. Import the JSON directly: import styleData from 'gpt-image-2-style-library/data/style-library.json'. This bypasses skill discovery and lets you implement custom matching logic, prompt builders, or UI components using the raw data.

How do I update the skill when the repository adds new templates?

Run npm run generate:style-skill from the package directory, or execute npm run predev/prebuild which trigger the generation script automatically. This re-executes scripts/generate-style-skill.mjs to rebuild references/style-library.md and skill files from the updated data/style-library.json.
