Turn circles on a picture into exact edits — workflow skill for images & thumbnails

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): vargai search and vargai install <slug> with no key, every varg model after vargai login.

Circle what to change, name each colour, and GPT Image 2.6 edits only the marked spots. Script draws the marks.

What it does

Markup-guided image edits with GPT Image 2.6 on varg: draw circles, boxes, arrows and short notes on a transparent PNG the same size as the source (scripts/markup.py turns a JSON list of shapes into that PNG, a preview and the prompt lines), upload it, then edit with provider_options.fal.markup_image_url and a prompt written per colour ("Red circle: … Blue circle: … Change nothing outside the marks."). Includes the measured example (two changes, the rest of the frame kept), how to check what changed, and when to use a black-and-white mask_url instead. Use when someone wants to change one or several specific spots in an image, says "circle it", "only change this part", "fix this word", "add a hat here", or an edit keeps changing things it should not. Not for whole-image restyles (gpt-image-2-6 recipes), animation (gpt-image-gif) or video edits (varg-ai).
