## What it does

The skill documents PixVerse CLI for the agent. It covers creating and editing images, video, speech and music, running effect templates, MiniApps and Canvas graphs. What sits inside is a set of markdown instructions split by capability and workflow, not separately installed commands. A single operation pulls one capability file; a multi-step deliverable starts from a workflow, so the whole catalog never loads at once.

The CLI itself has to be installed first: `npm install -g pixverse`, with Node.js >= 22.12. Generation runs on the user's PixVerse account and credits, and CLI access requires a subscription. Check login state with `pixverse auth status --json`; ordinary sign-in is `pixverse auth login --json`, and you have to show the returned authorization URL yourself because JSON mode does not open the browser.

The skill documents CLI 1.4.13. On an older install a static table does not prove a model or flag is supported, so the agent should report the needed upgrade instead of submitting a guessed combination. For `PIXVERSE_AUTH_PROFILE=chatgpt`, MCP pairing replaces ordinary login and that profile carries through the workflow.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill pixverse-ai-image-and-video-generator -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill skills -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/skills/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/skills/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill skills -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/skills/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill skills -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/skills/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install PixVerseAI/skills skills
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/skills/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill skills -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/PixVerseAI/skills --path skills
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/skills/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PixVerseAI/skills --skill skills -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- turn a text prompt into a finished video
- edit an image through chat instructions
- transfer motion from a clip onto a character
- add voiceover and a soundtrack to a video
- chain image generation into animation and upscale

## Example prompts
- generate a video from this prompt and save the result
- edit this image: drop the background and warm up the light
- write a voiceover for this text and pick background music

# PixVerse CLI

Generate media using the user's PixVerse account and credits. CLI access requires a subscription. Use `--json` for machine-readable results.

## Read only what the task needs

This is the entrypoint; the linked Markdown files are supporting instructions, not separately installed commands. Resolve links relative to this file, regardless of the working directory. Select one capability or workflow below; follow additional links only for a needed operation. Do not load the entire catalog, every related file, or all design references.

For a single operation, read its capability. For a multi-step deliverable, start with the workflow. Before executing a creation chain, read the [execution contract](references/execution-contract.md) once for output shapes, waiting, and recovery. For prompt advice or rewriting, select one strategy using the [prompt contract](references/prompt-contract.md).

## Setup and parameter discovery

1. Check `pixverse --version`. If missing, install with `npm install -g pixverse` (Node.js >= 22.12); an existing older installation need not be changed for unrelated tasks.
2. On CLI **1.4.0+**, query only the required mode/model: `pixverse capabilities create video --model v6 --json`. Use `pixverse capabilities create --json` to discover mode/model IDs if unknown. These queries are offline and need no login. Avoid the full `pixverse capabilities --json` bundle for a narrow task.
3. On older versions, use `pixverse create <mode> --help` and the relevant capability's static reference. This skill documents CLI 1.4.13; a static table does not prove an older installation supports a model or flag. If support cannot be established, report the required upgrade instead of submitting an invented combination.
4. Before account operations or generation, check `pixverse auth status --json` if login state is unknown. For `PIXVERSE_AUTH_PROFILE=chatgpt`, use [MCP pairing](references/auth-pairing.md) instead of ordinary login; retain this profile throughout the workflow. For ordinary login, run `pixverse auth login --json` and show the returned authorization URL; JSON mode does not open the browser automatically. See [auth and account](capabilities/auth-and-account.md) for access keys, configuration, and recovery.
