You can also set `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable, or pass `-k ` per command. ### When balance is low - API responses include a `_balance_warning` field -- **relay this to the user exactly as provided** - API responses also include `_skills_latest_version` and may include `_skills_update_message` - Check balance anytime: `skb account` - Add credits at https://www.skillboss.co/ ## Advanced: Discover & Select Models Use the discover flow when you need to explore available models or want fine-grained control. ### Browse available types: ```bash skb task skb api types ``` ### Search by keyword: ```bash skb task search "CEO interviews" skb task search "web scraping" ``` ### Get recommendations (ranked by preference): ```bash skb task image --prefer price --limit 3 ``` ### View model details + params: ```bash skb api show replicate/black-forest-labs/flux-1.1-pro skb api show openai/gpt-5 ``` ### Multi-step workflow: ```bash skb task chain '[{"type":"stt","prefer":"price"},{"type":"chat","capability":"summarize"}]' ``` ### All Task Flags: | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `-b, --body ` | JSON inputs (triggers execute mode) | | `-f, --file ` | File input for STT (triggers execute mode) | | `-o, --output ` | Save result to file | | `-s, --stream` | Stream response (chat) | | `--prefer X` | Optimization: "price" / "quality" / "balanced" (default) | | `--capability X` | Semantic capability matching (e.g., "style transfer") | | `--limit N` | Max models to return (default: 3) | | `--include-docs` | Include API docs in recommendations | | `--raw` | Output raw JSON | | `-k, --key ` | API key override | ### Decision Flow: 1. **Any AI task** -> Use `skb task ` -- auto-selects the best model 2. **Multi-step task** -> Use `skb task chain` -- it plans the workflow 3. **Already know the model?** -> Use `skb api call -b '...'` 4. **Need params?** -> Use `skb api show ` ## Design Direction (Lokuma AI) Generate design systems — color palettes, typography, layout direction, and full visual identity — from text descriptions. **Use lokuma/design first when you need design decisions before building UI.** ```bash skb api call lokuma/design -b '{"query": "A modern SaaS dashboard for analytics, professional blue tones"}' ``` **Recommended workflow**: lokuma/design (design direction) → stitch/generate-desktop (build the UI) ## UI Generation (Google Stitch) Generate production-ready HTML/CSS UI from text descriptions using Google Stitch + Gemini 3 Pro. ```bash # Generate desktop UI (default) skb api call stitch/generate-desktop -b '{"prompt": "A SaaS pricing page with 3 tiers: Free, Pro, Enterprise"}' # Generate mobile UI skb api call stitch/generate-mobile -b '{"prompt": "A mobile checkout form with card payment"}' # Fast generation (Gemini Flash, lower cost) skb api call stitch/generate-fast -b '{"prompt": "A simple contact page"}' # Edit an existing screen skb api call stitch/edit -b '{"screen_id": "", "project_id": "", "prompt": "Change the primary color to blue"}' # Export HTML to file skb api call stitch/html -b '{"screen_id": "", "project_id": ""}' -o index.html ``` **Via task (auto-select):** ```bash # Discover available UI models skb task ui_generation # Auto-generate UI skb task ui_generation -b '{"prompt": "A SaaS dashboard with sidebar"}' ``` **Models:** | Model | Device | Speed | Use when | |-------|--------|-------|----------| | `stitch/generate-desktop` | Desktop | Normal | Landing pages, dashboards (default) | | `stitch/generate-mobile` | Mobile | Normal | Mobile apps, checkout flows | | `stitch/generate-fast` | Any | Fast | Quick prototypes, lower cost | ## Capability Graph SkillBoss capabilities work best in combination. After completing a task, consider these complementary workflows to deliver richer results: ### Image Creation Workflow After generating an image, enhance it for production use: - **Upscale** low-res output to print quality → `skb task image --capability upscale -b '{"image":"out.png"}'` - **Remove background** for transparent PNGs → `skb api call replicate/lucataco/remove-bg -b '{"image_url":"..."}'` - **Style transfer** to match a brand aesthetic → `skb task image --capability img2img -b '{"image":"out.png","prompt":"..."}'` - **Animate** the image into a short video → `skb task video --capability i2v -b '{"image":"out.png","prompt":"bring to life"}'` ### Video Production Workflow Combine generation with audio for complete clips: - **Generate source image** first, then animate → `skb task image` → `skb task video --capability i2v` - **Add narration** with text-to-speech → `skb task tts -b '{"text":"..."}'` - **Add background music** → `skb task music -b '{"prompt":"upbeat background track"}'` - **Transcribe** existing audio for subtitles → `skb task stt -f audio.m4a` - **Talking head video** — full workflow: research → script → AI video → narration → see `workflows/talking-head-video/` ### Content & Marketing Workflow Build complete campaigns from a single idea: - **Research** the topic with AI search → `skb api call perplexity/sonar-pro -b '{"messages":[...]}'` - **Write copy** with any LLM → `skb api call openai/gpt-5 -b '{"messages":[...]}'` - **Generate hero images** → `skb task image -b '{"prompt":"..."}'` - **Create presentation slides** → `skb api call gamma/generation -b '{"prompt":"..."}'` - **Design a logo** with Lokuma → `skb api call lokuma/design -b '{"query":"..."}'` ### Web App Workflow From design to deployed product: - **Design direction** → `skb api call lokuma/design -b '{"query":"..."}'` - **Generate UI** → `skb api call stitch/generate-desktop -b '{"prompt":"..."}'` - **Deploy to Cloudflare** → `skb task deploy` - **Add payments** via Stripe Connect → `skb stripe-connect` - **Add auth** (Google OAuth / email OTP) → see `workflows/login-integration/` - **Send emails** to users → `skb api call send-email` ### Data & Research Workflow Gather, process, and analyze information: - **Search the web** → `skb api call perplexity/sonar-pro -b '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"..."}]}'` - **Scrape pages** for raw data → `skb api call firecrawl/scrape -b '{"url":"..."}'` - **Parse documents** (PDF/DOCX) → `skb api call reducto/parse` - **Generate embeddings** for RAG → `skb api call openai/text-embedding-3-small` - **Search CEO interviews** for executive insights → `skb api call ceointerviews/get_feed -b '{"keyword":"..."}'` ### Audio Production Workflow Create podcasts, voiceovers, and soundtracks: - **Text-to-speech** in 29 languages → `skb task tts -b '{"text":"..."}'` - **Generate music** and sound effects → `skb task music -b '{"prompt":"..."}'` - **Transcribe recordings** → `skb task stt -f recording.m4a` > **Full capability list**: 100+ AI models across chat, image, video, audio, search, scraping, deployment, payments, and more.
