Workflow

When a user requests a food diorama:

1. Identify the city: Ask which city if not specified
2. Check availability: Run with --list-cities if unsure
3. Choose settings: Recommend:

- Square format (1024x1024) for social media posts - Landscape (1344x768 or 1536x672) for wallpapers - 2K resolution for quality (use 4K for prints)

1. Generate: Run the script with chosen parameters
2. Present result: Show the saved image path

Extending the Database

To add a new city, edit scripts/generatefooddiorama.py and add an entry to CITY_DATABASE:

"城市名": {
    "base": "基础食物",
    "base_desc": "详细描述",
    "history_text": "历史铭文",
    "city_material": "城市材质",
    "city_decoration": "装饰元素",
    "q1": {"name": "早餐", "desc": "描述", "texture": "质感", "action": "动作"},
    "q2": {"name": "硬菜", "desc": "描述", "texture": "质感", "action": "动作", 
           "costume": "服饰", "historical_figure": "历史人物"},
    "q3": {"name": "街头", "desc": "描述", "texture": "质感", "action": "动作",
           "historical_scene": "历史场景"},
    "q4": {"name": "甜品", "desc": "描述", "texture": "质感", "action": "动作",
           "cultural_symbol": "文化符号"}
}

Examples

Create a Xi'an diorama for Instagram

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/food-diorama-skill/scripts/generate_food_diorama.py 西安 --size 1024x1024 --resolution 2K --output xian-food-post.png

Generate Chongqing wallpaper

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/food-diorama-skill/scripts/generate_food_diorama.py 重庆 --size 1536x672 --resolution 4K --output chongqing-wallpaper.png

Quick test with Guangzhou

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/food-diorama-skill/scripts/generate_food_diorama.py 广州 --resolution 1K

Best Practices

1. Start with 2K: Balance between quality and generation time
2. Use square for social: Most versatile format
3. Landscape for prints: Better for wall art or desktop wallpapers
4. Check city availability: Use --list-cities before committing to generation
5. Preview prompts: Use --show-prompt to verify content before generating

Troubleshooting

City not found:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/food-diorama-skill/scripts/generate_food_diorama.py --list-cities

nanobanana not found: Ensure nanobanana skill is installed and GEMINIAPIKEY is configured in ~/.nanobanana.env

Generation failed:

• Check GEMINIAPIKEY is valid
• Try lower resolution (1K)
• Verify sufficient API quota
• Use faster model: --model gemini-2.5-flash-image
