Core Workflow

When the user prompts the model to generate an SVG of and image or scene:

User wants an SVG of an image or scene

To generate an SVG of an image or scene use Google Gemini and autotrace:

bash
curl -s -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash-image:generateContent" -H "x-goog-api-key: <GEMINI_API_KEY>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "contents": [{ "parts": [ {"text": "<IMAGE_PROMPT>"}]}]}' | grep -o '"data": "[^"]*"' | cut -d'"' -f4 | base64 --decode | autotrace -output-format svg -despeckle-level 10 -despeckle-tightness 2.0 -output-file <OUTPUT_FILE>.svg

Arguments from prompt:

• <GEMINI_API_KEY>: The Gemini API key gotten from the environment variable "GEMINI_API_KEY"
• <IMAGE_PROMPT>: The user's initial prompt modified to change phrases like "Generate an svg" to "Generate an image." Do not modify the rest of the prompt or add any extra instructions or descriptions.
• <OUTPUT_FILE>: An 8-30 character filename based on the image the user wants
