Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Etch is a Node.js CLI that wraps several image-generation APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, FLUX) behind a single scriptable command for generating and editing images. Its clean stdin/stdout contract, JSON output, exit codes, and provider-agnostic model selection make it a convenient glue tool for automation and AI agent workflows.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, AI agent builders
