There is NO sky generator: every sky, horizon, time of day and weather mood is built in code \u2014 your call how, from a background colour and fog to an atmospheric sky shader with a real sun.

 Important note: put soul into your creations, with many details and love. Aim to make them realistic and feel real. Use genex capabilities as an extension, but never limit your imagination \u2014 you are a powerful agent. Use your built-in sub-agents and iteration loops (\`/loop\` or your platform's equivalent) where you need them to reach outstanding results. Verify yourself. Anything you put in front of the player should already feel alive and impressive \u2014 never a bare scene waiting for "later". Build what's still missing before polishing what already works.

-description: Generate a real 360° skybox (equirectangular panorama) from a text prompt with `npx genex skybox`, then load it as the scene background + environment lighting in Three.js. Use when the user wants a specific photoreal/painted sky or backdrop ("sunset over the ocean", "alien purple nebula", "foggy pine forest") as an image, rather than a procedural/shader sky.
----
-
-# Genex AI · Skybox
-
-Turn a prompt into a 360° **equirectangular** panorama that wraps the scene and
-also lights it (image-based lighting).
-
-## When to use this vs. a procedural sky
-
-- **Use `npx genex skybox`** for a specific, describable ENVIRONMENT — "golden
-  hour over misty mountains", "rolling thunderstorm, towering cumulonimbus",
-  "alien purple nebula", "hazy dusk sky over a distant sea horizon". You get a
-  real image.
-- Build a procedural, animated, time-of-day sky directly in the game's existing
-  scene/runtime only when that is the requested deliverable; this image lane
-  owns static generated panoramas.
-
-**A skybox is environment only — never content.** Buildings, trees, ruins,
-towers, or any object painted into the sky render at infinite distance: they
-never get closer as the player moves, they sit at the wrong parallax against
-the real 3D world, and they read as broken the moment the camera strafes.
-Structures belong in the scene as geometry (`npx genex model`); the sky
-carries atmosphere — light, weather, clouds, haze, stars.
-
-**Writing "no cathedral" does not rescue a prompt that also says "cathedral".**
-Image models are steered by the nouns they ARE given; a ban loses to any
-positive mention of the same thing in the same prompt. A real pilot asked for
-a *"cinematic dark anime gothic atmosphere, ruined cathedral courtyard mood,
-**no buildings or structures**"* — and got a full gothic cathedral with a
-courtyard balustrade and a baked ground plane. Five negations in that prompt,
-zero effect. So never name a structure in a skybox prompt **even to exclude
-it**: describe only light, colour, cloud, weather and time of day.
-
-The CLI enforces this both ways. It appends a closed-positive environment
-clause to every prompt (you'll see `↳ environment-only guard applied`; the
-full final prompt is stored with the generation), and it **refuses outright,
-before spending any credits**, when the prompt itself names a structure or
-object. Landforms are fine — "golden hour over misty mountains", "a distant
-sea horizon", "towering cumulonimbus" all pass. If you genuinely need content
-baked into the sky — e.g. a space station panorama for a scene with no world
-geometry — pass `--raw` to send your prompt exactly as written.
-
-## Run
-
-```bash
-npx genex skybox "<prompt>"
-```
-
-Blocks until ready, then prints its public URL:
-
-```
-https://assets.genex.technology/generations/<id>/skybox-equirect
-```
-
-The image lives in Genex storage (R2) and loads straight from that URL — you don't
-download it and nothing is committed to your repo. The URL is permanent (works the same
-in local dev, the published game, and remixes).
-
-## Load it as background + environment
-
-Load the equirect JPG through the quality tier's rung ladder, mark it
-equirectangular, and use it for both the visible background and the lighting.
-The bare URL is an 8192×4096 original — ~178 MB decoded, over half a phone's
-GPU budget in one texture — so phones must load the downscale rung the platform
-stores next to every skybox (`$genex-threejs-adaptive-quality`):
-
-```ts
-import * as THREE from "three";
-import { detectTier } from "./controllers/quality/tier.ts";
-import { loadTextureWithFallback } from "./controllers/quality/pick-asset.ts";
-
-// the URL `npx genex skybox` printed (R2 sends CORS headers, so cross-origin works):
-const SKYBOX_URL = "https://assets.genex.technology/generations/<id>/skybox-equirect";
-const tier = detectTier(); // reuse the boot tier if you already have it
-const texture = await loadTextureWithFallback(SKYBOX_URL, tier, (u) =>
-  new THREE.TextureLoader().loadAsync(u),
-);
-texture.mapping = THREE.EquirectangularReflectionMapping;
-texture.colorSpace = THREE.SRGBColorSpace;
-
-scene.background = texture;   // visible sky
-scene.environment = texture;  // image-based lighting on PBR materials
-```
-
-Desktop gets the original; phones get the `@2048`/`@4096` rung; a missing rung
-falls back to the original automatically — never a broken boot.
-
-For sharper reflections/lighting, pre-filter it with `PMREMGenerator`:
-
-```ts
-const pmrem = new THREE.PMREMGenerator(renderer);
-const envMap = pmrem.fromEquirectangular(texture).texture;
-scene.environment = envMap;
-scene.background = texture; // keep the raw texture for the visible sky
-// Do NOT dispose `texture` here — it IS the visible background. Dispose it only
-// if you later stop using it as the sky.
-```
-
-## Publish checklist
-
-- Load it from the **URL** the command printed — absolute and permanent, so it resolves
-  the same in local dev, the published game, and remixes. Nothing to commit.
-- Don't copy the image into `public/assets/` — generated assets live in R2, not the repo.
-
-## Options
-
-- `--raw` — send the prompt exactly as written, skipping the appended
-  environment-only guard (for the rare sky that must carry content).
-- `--no-wait` — enqueue and return immediately with the generation id; pick
-  the result up later with `npx genex wait <id>` (safe to re-run — it attaches
-  to the SAME generation).
-- `--api-url <url>` — override the API base (local dev).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- **"Not authorized"** — run `npx @genex-ai/cli-demo@dev init` first (it writes your `GENEX_TOKEN`).
-- **"Out of credits" (`insufficient_credits`)** — the account has no credits left for
-  this skybox generation. Tell the user the facts the CLI printed: their balance, this
-  generation's cost, and when their credits refill. Then offer to continue the build
-  with a procedurally-coded placeholder (a gradient/procedural sky or a plain
-  `scene.background` color) and mark the spot with
-  `// TODO(genex): regenerate when credits refill` so the real asset is one command
-  away later. Do not stop the session over this.
-- **"Email not verified" (`email_verification_required`)** — generation credits
-  unlock after the account's email is verified. Give the user the verify link the
-  CLI printed, wait for them to confirm, then re-run the command.
-- **Sky looks too dark/bright** — adjust `renderer.toneMappingExposure`, or scale
-  `scene.environment` influence via material `envMapIntensity`.
-- **Seam/pole artifacts** — that's inherent to equirect images; keep the camera
-  away from looking straight up/down, or use PMREM for the lighting.
