Estimates describe the saved recipe, not a price guarantee. Confirm current provider pricing and approve any spend before generation. Your coding agent may have its own fees or usage limits. Never paste API keys into chat.
Included assets
The published package includes its agent instructions, input contract, and quality rules, plus 7 viewable asset references below. Reference media teaches the recipe; it is not a new result for your input.

Examples
7 saved examples for this recipe—not 7 separate Repos. Each example keeps its original version and provenance.








From input to output
From the published pipeline.json. The agent follows the packaged runtime and its approval gates.
Step 01
One run pinned to the portrait, exact gathered prompt, and selected model route.
Step 02
The portrait and prompt contract checked locally.
Step 03 · approval · provider
One rim-lit portrait from one approved prediction.
Step 04 · approval
Automatic file checks plus an actual visual review.
Proof & quality
Judge identity preservation, centered portrait geometry, a clean white-to-gray halo, deep sculptural shadow, fine hair rim light, and photographic realism.
The delivered Google Doc supplied the exact Nano Banana Pro prompt. The Instagram carousel supplied six native 3:4 source outputs.
The creator did not publish the original inputs. The clearly identified Wiggly proof uses a separate fixture portrait so Discover can show one honest before-and-after pair; the six SKAI outputs remain unchanged source examples.

# Wiggly Rim Portrait Filter Format This runnable Repo preserves the exact prompt and six native source examples gathered from @skaigenerated. The separate Wiggly proof uses one fixture portrait so the public hero can show a truthful before-and-after pair. Run from `v3`: ```bash npm install npm run format:skai-image -- check --format=rim-portrait-filter npm run format:skai-image -- smoke --format=rim-portrait-filter npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=my-portrait --input=/absolute/path/to/portrait.jpg npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=my-portrait npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=my-portrait ``` Generation requires `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN` and explicit approval: ```bash npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=my-portrait --approve-paid ``` No Replicate proof call was made while packaging this Repo. - Economy: `google/nano-banana-2-lite` - Default: `google/nano-banana-2` - Premium and source: `google/nano-banana-pro`
--- name: wiggly-rim-portrait-filter description: Turn one portrait into a centered sculptural silhouette using the exact gathered SKAI rim-light prompt. --- # Rim Portrait Filter Use the packaged runner and exact prompt. Do not call Replicate separately or create another render path. Ask one short question: > Which portrait should I turn into a Rim Portrait? Then run: ```bash npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path> npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> --approve-paid npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>" npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=rim-portrait-filter --run=<id> --approve-final ``` Hard rules: - Preserve the source identity. - Keep the exact gathered prompt unless the user explicitly requests a change. - Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Lite for economy, or Pro for premium and the creator's source route. - Validate before spending and never render without `--approve-paid`. - Persist and resume the prediction id. - Never exceed three attempts. - View the output and record specific visual-review notes before finalizing. - Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.

Run it with a coding agent
The agent reads this version’s instructions, checks the requirements, and walks you through the approved workflow. Review the inputs and estimate before starting.
Typical run
One Replicate image charge and usually 2-4 min
You provide
One JPEG, PNG, or WebP portrait at least 512px on both axes · A Replicate API token only when generation is approved
Output
One inspected 3:4 rim-lit portrait plus prediction and quality provenance
