Teaching Claude Code to Paint: A Stateful Image-Editing Skill Built on Gemini's Interactions API and MCP
A new skill for Claude Code, nb2lite-skill-claude, allows users to perform stateful image editing using Google's Gemini API. It leverages Gemini's interactions API and a Multi-modal Conversation Protocol server.
- A new Claude Code skill, nb2lite-skill-claude, enables stateful image editing.
- The skill integrates Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image model via its interactions API.
- It facilitates multi-turn conversational image editing and includes a simplified installation process.
The nb2lite-skill-claude project demonstrates a novel application of large language models by enabling stateful image editing within Anthropic's Claude Code environment. This is achieved by packaging Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image model as a Claude Code skill.
The system utilizes Gemini's interactions API, which supports multi-turn conversations, to manage the state of image edits. This allows for a more interactive and iterative editing process, similar to traditional image editing software.
Key features include an "idiot-proof" installation guide and a practical demonstration through a "dogfooded" cover image, making the technology accessible to a wider range of users and developers.
Enables building more interactive AI-powered tools.
Opens possibilities for AI-assisted creative workflows.
Shows advanced integration of multimodal AI capabilities.
- Stateful Image Editing
- Image editing where the system remembers previous edits and context across multiple interactions.
- Claude Code
- An environment or feature within Anthropic's Claude AI that allows for code-related tasks and interactions.
- Gemini Interactions API
- An API for Google's Gemini models that supports conversational, multi-turn interactions.
- MCP server
- Multi-modal Conversation Protocol server, likely a framework for managing complex AI interactions.
