Synergy with gflow-cli — Unofficial CLI for Google Flow (Veo & Imagen)

[ffroliva]

Hi @AgriciDaniel,

I recently came across banana-claude and really love the "Creative Director" prompt-engineering pipeline you've built. The way you structure the 5-component prompt formula (Subject, Action, Location, Composition, Style) to coax high-quality images out of Gemini is a fantastic pattern.

I wanted to give you a heads-up about a sibling project I am working on called gflow-cli.

What it is:
gflow-cli is an unofficial Python CLI that reverse-engineers Google Flow's private REST API to drive both Imagen (text-to-image) and Veo (text-to-video, image-to-video) generations directly from the terminal.

Why there's cool synergy here:

1. Local Generation Engine: Since gflow-cli drives generations through a warm browser session via your own Pro/Ultra Google account, it provides an alternative to public AI Studio API limits and costs (especially for video/Veo).
2. Creative Director Prompting: We are currently exploring adding a similar prompt-expansion capability (like your 5-component formula) to gflow-cli to help terminal users generate richer prompts.
3. MCP Potential: Exposing gflow-cli as an Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is on our project roadmap. In the future, a plugin like banana-claude could theoretically use gflow-cli as a local provider to generate not just images, but full videos/b-roll right inside Claude Code.

Would love to get your thoughts on this, and see if there are opportunities for collaboration or cross-referencing between the projects!
