wtf is seedream-5-pro-image-generate-api-skill?

This repository is an integration guide and installable agent skill for Seedream 5.0 Pro, an AI image generation model reachable through the EvoLink API. It targets two kinds of users: developers who want to call the model directly from code, and people using an AI coding agent like Claude who just want the agent to install a ready made skill and handle the request for them. The skill can be installed with a single command, either through a skills registry tool or a fallback npm package, and once installed it guides setup, asks for an EvoLink API key only if one is needed, checks that the key is valid without spending credits, and only runs an actual image generation after the prompt and expected cost are confirmed. This is meant to prevent an agent from accidentally generating images, and racking up charges, without the user's knowledge. For developers working directly with the API, image generation works as a two step process. First you send a request to create a task with a text prompt, an image size and ratio, and a quality level of either 1K or 2K, using your API key for authorization. This returns a task ID. You then poll a separate endpoint with that ID until the task is marked complete, at which point you get back a link to the generated image. The repository includes complete working examples of this flow in curl, Python, and JavaScript, along with separate documentation pages covering the exact response format, error handling, callback webhooks for avoiding repeated polling, and current pricing. The project also supports up to ten reference images per request for image to image editing tasks. Because generated image links can expire, the documentation recommends saving the resulting files promptly rather than relying on the returned URL staying valid indefinitely.
