What is Banana Cog?
Banana Cog is a powerful skill that combines Nano Banana's exceptional image
generation capabilities with CellCog's advanced reasoning and orchestration
layer. This integration allows you to execute complex multi-image jobs that
would be impossible through direct API calls, creating 10-20 coherent images
in a single prompt with consistent characters and planned compositions.
How Banana Cog Works
The skill operates through a sophisticated pipeline that transforms simple
text prompts into complete visual projects:
- Reasoning Layer : CellCog analyzes your prompt and plans the entire project
- Scene Planning : Determines optimal parameters and scene progression
- Character Design : Creates consistent character identities across all images
- Image Generation : Nano Banana produces high-quality images
- Consistency Verification : Ensures character and style uniformity
- Composition Review : Refines the final output
- Delivery : Provides the complete visual project
Prerequisites
Before using Banana Cog, you need to install the CellCog skill:
clawhub install cellcog
Read the CellCog skill documentation first for SDK setup, then return here to
learn what's possible with this powerful combination.
Quick Start Pattern
Here's the basic pattern for using Banana Cog (v1.0+):
result = client.create_chat(
prompt = "[your image request]",
notify_session_key = "agent:main:main",
task_label = "image-task",
chat_mode = "agent"
)
What You Can Create
Photorealistic Image Generation
Create stunning images from detailed text descriptions:
- Portraits : "Create a professional headshot with warm studio lighting"
- Product Shots : "Generate a hero image for a premium smartwatch on a dark surface"
- Scenes : "Create a cozy autumn café interior with morning light"
- Food Photography : "Generate an overhead shot of a colorful Buddha bowl"
Character Consistency
Nano Banana excels at maintaining character identity across multiple images,
and CellCog's orchestration takes this further by planning entire character
arcs:
- Character Series : "Create a tech entrepreneur character, then show them in 4 different scenes"
- Brand Mascots : "Design a mascot and generate it in multiple poses and contexts"
- Story Sequences : "Create a character and illustrate them across 5 story beats"
Multi-Image Composition
Blend elements from multiple reference images:
- Style Fusion : "Combine the color palette of image A with the composition of image B"
- Character Placement : "Place this person into a new environment while preserving their likeness"
- Product Mockups : "Put this product into a lifestyle setting"
Image Editing
Transform and enhance existing images:
- Style Transfer : "Transform this photo into a Studio Ghibli illustration"
- Background Swap : "Place this product on a clean marble surface"
- Enhancement : "Add dramatic lighting and cinematic color grading"
- Modification : "Change the season from summer to winter in this landscape"

| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|---|---|
| Single images, quick edits | "agent" |
| Character-consistent series, complex compositions | "agent" |
| Large sets with brand guidelines | "agent team" |
Use "agent" for most image work as it provides the best balance of quality and
speed.
Tips for Better Images
Follow these guidelines to get the best results from Banana Cog:
Be Descriptive
Instead of "Woman in office," try "Confident woman in her 40s, silver blazer,
modern glass-walled office, warm afternoon light." The more specific details
you provide, the better the results.
Specify Style
Always include the desired artistic style: "photorealistic", "digital
illustration", "watercolor", "anime", etc.
Describe Lighting
Lighting dramatically affects image quality. Specify: "Soft natural light",
"dramatic side lighting", "golden hour glow", etc.
For Character Consistency
Describe the character in detail first, then reference "the same character" in
subsequent prompts to maintain consistency across a series.
Include Composition
Specify compositional elements: "Rule of thirds", "close-up portrait", "wide
establishing shot".
