# AI Background Remover Skill

Remove backgrounds from images using AI image editing.

## Requirements
- AI Pass API key (create at https://aipass.one/panel/developer.html)
- Set as environment variable: `$AIPASS_API_KEY`

## Usage

### Text-based Background Removal Guidance (curl)
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://aipass.one/apikey/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIPASS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5-mini",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are an AI background removal assistant. When given an image description or request, provide guidance on achieving clean background removal. Explain edge detection, transparency, and best practices for product photos, portraits, and complex backgrounds."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "product photo of white sneakers on grass background"}
    ]
  }'
```

Response: `r.choices[0].message.content` — guidance text.

### Image Editing (SDK — browser-based)
For actual image background removal, use the AI Pass SDK in a web app:
```javascript
const result = await AiPass.editImage({
  model: 'gemini/gemini-3-pro-image-preview',
  image: imageFile,
  prompt: 'Remove the background, make it transparent'
});
const url = result.data[0].url;
```

### Python
```python
import requests, os

def get_bg_removal_tips(description):
    r = requests.post(
        "https://aipass.one/apikey/v1/chat/completions",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['AIPASS_API_KEY']}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
        json={
            "model": "gpt-5-mini",
            "messages": [
                {"role": "system", "content": "You are an AI background removal assistant. When given an image description or request, provide guidance on achieving clean background removal. Explain edge detection, transparency, and best practices for product photos, portraits, and complex backgrounds."},
                {"role": "user", "content": description}
            ]
        }
    )
    return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]

print(get_bg_removal_tips("product photo of white sneakers on grass background"))
```
