Overview

sn-image-doctor is an infrastructure skill (tier 0) that validates the SenseNova-Skills environment before running other skills. It ensures SenseNova-Skills project is properly installed and configured.

This skill performs comprehensive checks including:

  • Installation verification of SenseNova-Skills project
  • Python dependency validation
  • Environment variable configuration checks, with interactive prompts to configure missing required variables and save them to .env
  • Automatic environment reload after configuration changes, with agent restart suggestion if reload fails

Usage

Run the doctor check to validate your environment:

# Basic check
python scripts/check_environment.py

# Verbose output with detailed diagnostics
python scripts/check_environment.py --verbose

Text Output

=== SenseNova-Skills Environment Check ===

[1/3] Checking sn-image-base installation...
  ✅ Installation looks good

[2/3] Checking Python dependencies...
  ✅ Python 3.11.0
  ✅ All required packages installed

[3/3] Checking environment variables...
  ❌ SN_IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY: Image generation API key is not set; configure SN_API_KEY, or configure SN_IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY only for an image-generation-specific override

  Some required environment variables are missing.
  Enter values below to save them to /path/to/.env.
  Press Enter to skip a variable.

  SN_API_KEY: 

  ✅ Saved to /path/to/.env: SN_API_KEY
  🔄 Reloading environment...
  ✅ Environment reloaded successfully

=== Summary ===
✅ Environment is properly configured

If reload fails, the output will suggest restarting the agent:

  ✅ Saved to /path/to/.env: SN_API_KEY
  🔄 Reloading environment...
  ⚠️  Failed to reload environment: 
  💡 Suggestion: Restart the agent to apply new configuration

Error Output

When checks fail:

=== SenseNova-Skills Environment Check ===

[1/3] Checking sn-image-base installation...
  ❌ sn-image-base directory not found
  Expected location: /path/to/skills/sn-image-base

[2/3] Checking Python dependencies...
  ❌ Missing packages: httpx, pillow
  Run: pip install -r skills/sn-image-base/requirements.txt

=== Summary ===
❌ Environment check failed
Please fix the errors above before using SenseNova-Skills.

Troubleshooting

sn-image-base Not Found

Problem: sn-image-base directory not found

Solution:

# Ensure you're in the project root
cd /path/to/SenseNova-Skills

# Verify the directory exists
ls -la skills/sn-image-base

Missing Dependencies

Problem: Required Python packages not installed

Solution:

# Install dependencies
pip install -r skills/sn-image-base/requirements.txt

# Or use a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r skills/sn-image-base/requirements.txt

Missing Environment Variables

Problem: Required environment variables not set

Solution:

# If all capabilities use the same gateway, set only the global values.
export SN_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export SN_BASE_URL="https://your-api-endpoint.com"

# Or create a .env file
cat > .env << EOF
SN_API_KEY=your-api-key
SN_BASE_URL=https://token.sensenova.cn/v1
SN_CHAT_TYPE=openai-completions
SN_CHAT_MODEL=sensenova-6.7-flash-lite
EOF

# Load .env file
source .env  # Or use a tool like python-dotenv

Fallback priority is capability-specific variable > domain shared variable > global variable. For example, text calls use SN_TEXT_API_KEY -> SN_CHAT_API_KEY -> SN_API_KEY; vision calls use SN_VISION_API_KEY -> SN_CHAT_API_KEY -> SN_API_KEY; image generation uses SN_IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY -> SN_API_KEY.

API Connectivity Issues

Problem: Cannot reach API endpoints

Solution:

  1. Verify network connectivity

  2. Check firewall settings

  3. Verify API endpoint URLs are correct

  4. Test with curl:

    curl -I https://your-api-endpoint.com

Related skills

Base-layer skill for the SenseNova-Skills project, providing low-level APIs for image generation, recognition (VLM), and text optimization (LLM). This skill does not preprocess inputs; it only calls backend services and returns results. This skill is not user-facing and is intended for upper-layer skills only.

Environment diagnostic for the PPT family. Validates sn-image-base, API keys, Node runtime, and optional deps; interactively writes .env for required vars. Runs before sn-ppt-entry; does not modify sn-image-* skills.

Update SenseNova Skills (the sn-* bundle) inside an OpenClaw or hermes-agent install. ALWAYS use this skill when the user says any of: "update SenseNova skills", "update SN skills", "更新 sensenova skills", "更新 sn skills", "刷新 sn-*", "升级 sn-* skills", or names a specific sn-* skill to update (e.g. "更新 sn-ppt-standard", "refresh sn-image-base"). Default scope is the whole sn-* bundle; if the user names specific skills, update ONLY those.

Generates a designed portfolio-resume image from resume content provided in conversation text. Extracts optional style instructions, converts the resume into a fixed portfolio-resume layout prompt, and generates the final image through sn-image-base. Use when user asks to create "resume image", "portfolio resume", "简历图", "简历海报", or "个人简历视觉设计".

Open the AI PPT editing WebUI for previously generated SenseNova HTML slides. Use when the user asks to preview, inspect, edit, or open an existing/generated PPT deck in the WebUI/workbench without regenerating slides. Accepts an explicit deck_dir or auto-detects the newest local ppt_decks entry containing HTML pages. Does not run style/outline/page-html/export generation.
