Gemini Image Analysis (Bun + TypeScript)
When to use
Use this Skill when you need to analyze one or multiple images (screenshots, photos, diagrams) with Gemini Flash via the REST API.

GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY" \
bun .claude/skills/gemini-image-analysis/scripts/gemini-image-analyze.ts \
--prompt "Caption this image." \
/path/to/image.jpg
macOS Keychain (optional)
If you store GEMINI_API_KEY in the macOS Keychain:
GEMINI_API_KEY="$(security find-generic-password -a "$(whoami)" -s "GEMINI_API_KEY" -w)" \
bun .claude/skills/gemini-image-analysis/scripts/gemini-image-analyze.ts \
--prompt "Caption this image." \
/path/to/image.jpg
Multiple images
Send multiple images in one request (useful for comparison or “before/after”):
GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY" \
bun .claude/skills/gemini-image-analysis/scripts/gemini-image-analyze.ts \
--prompt "Compare these images and describe the differences." \
/path/to/image1.jpg \
/path/to/image2.png
Options
--prompt <text>: Text instruction for the model (default:Caption this image.)--model <model>: Model name (default:gemini-3-flash-preview)--json: Print the full JSON response instead of extracted text
