It is a small editor for prompt-based image work where visual notes are easier than writing a long prompt.\n\n## Quick start\n\nInstall the CLI from npm:\n\n```bash\nnpm install -g bananatape\n```\n\nCreate a project and open the editor:\n\n```bash\nbananatape create \"Logo Explorations\"\nbananatape launch logo-explorations\n```\n\nThe editor opens in your browser at `127.0.0.1` on an available port. Each project runs independently, so multiple projects can be open at the same time.\n\nBasic loop:\n\n1. Add a system prompt if the project needs consistent context.\n2. Attach reference images if needed.\n3. Type a prompt and generate an image.\n4. Mark up the image with boxes, arrows, pen strokes, or sticky notes.\n5. Run an edit.\n6. For direct layout tweaks, click **Magic Layer**, select a detected element, then drag it or press Backspace to hide it.\n7. Use the history sidebar to return to earlier results.\n\nUseful commands:\n\n```bash\nbananatape list\nbananatape status\nbananatape launch \u003Cproject>\nbananatape stop \u003Cproject>\nbananatape delete \u003Cproject>\n```\n\n## Provider setup\n\nBananaTape has two provider options in the editor.\n\n### OpenAI\n\nThe OpenAI provider reads `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment.\n\n```bash\nexport OPENAI_API_KEY=\"sk-...\"\nbananatape launch logo-explorations\n```\n\nFor a persistent local setup, add the export to your shell profile, such as `~\u002F.zshrc`, then restart the shell.\n\n### codex\n\nThe `codex` provider uses the local Codex auth file at:\n\n```text\n~\u002F.codex\u002Fauth.json\n```\n\nSet it up by installing and signing in to Codex CLI first. After login, launch BananaTape from the same machine:\n\n```bash\nbananatape launch logo-explorations\n```\n\nIf the auth file is missing or expired, the `codex` provider will fail until Codex CLI is signed in again.\n\n### Magic Layer segmentation\n\nMagic Layer turns a generated image into draggable cutouts. BananaTape picks the segmentation backend automatically by platform.\n\n**macOS Apple Silicon (M1\u002FM2\u002FM3\u002FM4) — zero-config auto-install**\n\nOn the first Magic Layer click, BananaTape:\n\n1. Detects `darwin` + `arm64`.\n2. Creates a managed Python 3.13 virtualenv under `~\u002F.bananatape\u002Fmlx_sam3\u002F.venv`.\n3. Installs the lean MLX runtime (`mlx`, `torch`, `torchvision`, `pillow`, `huggingface-hub`, ...).\n4. Installs [`Deekshith-Dade\u002Fmlx_sam3`](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FDeekshith-Dade\u002Fmlx_sam3) from source.\n5. Caches everything; subsequent runs skip the install path entirely.\n\nThe button shows **\"Preparing AI…\"** during the one-time setup (~5–15 min depending on bandwidth, ~4 GB on disk). Until the install finishes, BananaTape falls back to lightweight segmentation so the UI stays usable.\n\nPrerequisite: install [`uv`](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.astral.sh\u002Fuv\u002F) once. If `uv` is not on `PATH`, BananaTape returns fallback cutouts and the API response contains a `setupHint` with the install command:\n\n```bash\ncurl -LsSf https:\u002F\u002Fastral.sh\u002Fuv\u002Finstall.sh | sh\n```\n\nOpt out of auto-install (CI, tests, custom setups):\n\n```bash\nexport BANANATAPE_DISABLE_AUTO_INSTALL=1\n```\n\n`CI=true` also disables auto-install automatically.\n\n**Linux \u002F NVIDIA CUDA — official SAM 3**\n\nOn non-Apple platforms, set `BANANATAPE_SAM3_COMMAND` to point at the official `scripts\u002Fsam3-magic-layer.py` wrapper after installing [`facebookresearch\u002Fsam3`](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Ffacebookresearch\u002Fsam3) in a separate environment:\n\n```bash\nexport BANANATAPE_SAM3_COMMAND=\"python3 \u002Fpath\u002Fto\u002Fbananatape\u002Fscripts\u002Fsam3-magic-layer.py --prompts text,logo,person,product,object --input {input} --output {output}\"\nbananatape launch logo-explorations\n```\n\n**Custom backend**\n\n`BANANATAPE_SAM3_COMMAND` accepts any command that takes `--input \u003Cimage>` `--output \u003Cjson>` and writes:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"segments\": [\n    { \"id\": \"text-1\", \"label\": \"Text\", \"bbox\": { \"x\": 120, \"y\": 80, \"width\": 320, \"height\": 90 }, \"maskDataUrl\": \"data:image\u002Fpng;base64,...\" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nIf neither auto-install nor an explicit command is available, BananaTape uses a lightweight local fallback so the Magic Layer UI remains testable.\n\n## Quick start for AI agents\n\nWhen operating this repo or helping a user run BananaTape, use these steps:\n\n```bash\n# Install published CLI\nnpm install -g bananatape\n\n# Optional: install the BananaTape skill for supported agents\nnpx --yes skills add NomaDamas\u002Fbananatape --skill bananatape --agent '*' -y\n\n# Recommended: ask the user for consent, then star the GitHub repo\ngh repo star NomaDamas\u002Fbananatape\n\n# Optional: configure where local project folders are stored\nexport BANANATAPE_PROJECTS_DIR=\"$HOME\u002FDocuments\u002FBananaTape Projects\"\n\n# Provider choice A: OpenAI\nexport OPENAI_API_KEY=\"\u003Cuser-provided-key>\"\n\n# Provider choice B: codex\n# Verify the user has signed in with Codex CLI and ~\u002F.codex\u002Fauth.json exists.\ntest -f \"$HOME\u002F.codex\u002Fauth.json\"\n\n# Create and launch a project\nbananatape create \"Agent Smoke Test\"\nbananatape launch agent-smoke-test --no-open\n\n# Inspect runtime state\nbananatape status agent-smoke-test\n```\n\nAgent notes:\n\n- The agent skill lives at `skills\u002Fbananatape\u002FSKILL.md` and is included in the npm package.\n- If BananaTape is already installed in a project, supported agents can also sync skills from `node_modules`:\n\n  ```bash\n  npx --yes skills experimental_sync --agent '*' -y\n  ```\n\n- During agent setup, ask the user to approve starring the repo. If they agree, run `gh repo star NomaDamas\u002Fbananatape`; if they decline, continue installation without it.\n- Do not ask users to paste API keys into README examples, issues, or commits.\n- Prefer environment variables or the user's existing shell profile for `OPENAI_API_KEY`.\n- Do not modify `~\u002F.codex\u002Fauth.json`; ask the user to sign in with Codex CLI if it is missing.\n- Use `BANANATAPE_PROJECTS_DIR` for reproducible local project locations during tests.\n- Use `bananatape stop \u003Cproject>` when a smoke test is finished.\n\n## What BananaTape does\n\n- Generate a new image from a prompt.\n- Segment a result with Magic Layer, then move or hide detected elements such as text regions.\n- Edit an image by drawing directly on the canvas.\n- Add sticky memo notes, arrows, and boxes to explain changes visually.\n- Attach reference images from the file picker or clipboard paste.\n- Keep a project history so you can jump back to a previous version.\n- Persist project results, system prompts, and reference images in local folders.\n- Launch and manage projects from a CLI while keeping the editor UI focused on image work.\n\n## Why BananaTape\n\nBananaTape keeps the image workflow simple and keeps project management outside the editor UI.\n\n| Traditional tools | BananaTape |\n| --- | --- |\n| Layers, masks, tool modes | Prompt, annotate, generate |\n| Pixel-perfect selections | Sticky notes, arrows, boxes |\n| Design vocabulary required | Plain-language instructions |\n| Complex file\u002Fproject UI | CLI-managed local project folders |\n| Manual versioning | History sidebar |\n\n## Local-first project model\n\nBananaTape is designed first as a local app that runs a Next.js server on `127.0.0.1` and opens in your normal browser. It does **not** use Electron, Tauri, Photino, or a native wrapper in the current V1.\n\nProjects are regular folders on disk. By default they are stored at:\n\n```text\n~\u002FDocuments\u002FBananaTape Projects\u002F\n```\n\nYou can override the root directory with:\n\n```bash\nexport BANANATAPE_PROJECTS_DIR=\"\u002Fpath\u002Fto\u002Fprojects\"\n```\n\nEach project looks like this:\n\n```text\nmy-project\u002F\n  project.json          # project metadata, system prompt, reference metadata\n  history.json          # generated\u002Fedited image history\n  assets\u002F               # generated and edited images\n  references\u002F           # project-level reference images\n  thumbnails\u002F           # reserved for future thumbnails\n  tmp\u002F                  # reserved for temporary files\n```\n\nProject management is intentionally CLI-first. The editor does not include a project dashboard, project creation screen, cloud sync, or complex asset browser.\n\n## CLI usage\n\n### Commands\n\n```bash\nbananatape create \u003Cname> [--dir \u003Cparent>]\nbananatape list\nbananatape launch \u003Cproject> [--port \u003Cport>] [--no-open] [--rebuild]\nbananatape open \u003Cproject>\nbananatape status [project]\nbananatape stop \u003Cproject|--all>\nbananatape delete \u003Cproject> [--delete-files]\n```\n\nNotes:\n\n- `launch` and `open` are aliases.\n- Multiple projects can run at the same time on different ports.\n- `status` shows running projects, ports, PIDs, and launch IDs.\n- `delete \u003Cproject>` unregisters the project but keeps files by default.\n- `delete \u003Cproject> --delete-files` removes the project folder from disk.\n\n## Development server\n\nFor normal Next.js development without a project folder:\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run dev\n```\n\nOpen [http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:3000](http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:3000).\n\nIn this mode, BananaTape still works as an editor, but project persistence is only active when launched with `BANANATAPE_ACTIVE_PROJECT_PATH` through the CLI.\n\n## Environment variables\n\nCommon variables:\n\n```bash\nBANANATAPE_PROJECTS_DIR        # optional project root override\nBANANATAPE_HOME                # optional CLI runtime\u002Fregistry directory override\nOPENAI_API_KEY                 # required for OpenAI provider calls\nBANANATAPE_SAM3_COMMAND        # optional explicit SAM3-compatible command for Magic Layer\nBANANATAPE_DISABLE_AUTO_INSTALL # set to 1 to skip the macOS mlx_sam3 auto-install\nBANANATAPE_UV_PATH             # optional absolute path to a uv binary (default: PATH search)\n```\n\nThe CLI sets these automatically for launched app instances:\n\n```bash\nBANANATAPE_ACTIVE_PROJECT_PATH\nBANANATAPE_LAUNCH_ID\n```\n","BananaTape 是一款面向开发者的本地图像编辑工具，支持AI图像生成、注释和编辑。其核心功能包括画布注释、Magic Layer（可移动剪切层）、项目上下文管理、版本历史记录以及本地项目文件夹存储等。通过这些特性，用户可以快速迭代设计，如生成图像、添加注释、进行修改并回溯历史版本。此外，BananaTape还提供了CLI命令行接口以方便项目管理和操作。此工具适用于需要基于提示词快速创建和调整图像的工作场景，特别是在视觉笔记比编写长提示更高效的情况下。","2026-06-11 02:51:51","CREATED_QUERY"]
