Skills
Install Atlas Cloud Agent Skills so Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI can generate images, video, audio, and 3D through the Atlas Cloud API.
What are Skills?
Skills are reusable knowledge packages that teach an AI coding agent a specific domain: API references, parameter rules, model choices, and working code templates. Installing the Atlas Cloud skills gives your agent a precise understanding of the Atlas Cloud API, so it can generate images, video, audio, and 3D models — and write correct integration code — from plain-language instructions.
Atlas Cloud Skills work with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and other agents that support the same skill format.
GitHub repository: AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skills
What's included
The repository ships three skills:
atlas-cloud
The core skill. Full API reference for image, video, audio, 3D, LLM chat, media upload, and model discovery.
seedance-2-5-skill
Specialist skill for Seedance 2.5 — storyboarding, multimodal references, and native audio-video generation.
universal-video-prompt-skill
Model-agnostic video prompting: turns a rough idea into a structured, shot-level prompt.
Inside the core skill
atlas-cloud is organized as a SKILL.md entry point plus seven reference documents that the agent loads on demand:
| Reference | Covers |
|---|---|
references/image-gen.md | Image generation, including 3D models |
references/video-gen.md | Video generation, lipsync, and talking avatars |
references/audio-gen.md | Text-to-speech, music generation, and speech-to-text |
references/llm-chat.md | OpenAI-compatible chat completions |
references/quick-generate.md | One-step generation that picks the model for you |
references/upload.md | Uploading local files for image-to-video and editing workflows |
references/models.md | Model discovery, pricing, and capability lookup |
Recipe library
Beyond the skills themselves, the repository includes 25 ready-made recipes — end-to-end workflows an agent can follow:
| Category | Recipes | Examples |
|---|---|---|
library/visual | 7 | Product photography, poster design, style transfer |
library/motion | 6 | Product render to ad, character to drama scene |
library/edit | 6 | Background removal, object cleanup, upscaling |
library/social | 6 | Long-form video to vertical shorts, thumbnail generation |
Installation
Install all three skills:
npx skills add AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skillsInstall a single skill:
npx skills add AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skills --skill atlas-cloudSetup
Set your API key as an environment variable:
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"To persist it across terminal sessions, add the line to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, and so on).
Create a key in the Atlas Cloud dashboard. See API Keys for details.
Agents run shell commands on your behalf. Keep the key in your environment or a secrets manager — never commit it to a repository, and never paste it into a prompt.
Usage examples
Once installed, describe what you want in plain language:
Image and 3D
"Generate a product photo of a ceramic mug on a linen backdrop with Seedream v5.0 Pro"
"Turn this photo into a 3D model I can open in Blender"
Video
"Create a 5-second clip of ocean waves at golden hour using Seedance 2.5"
"Take this product render and make a 15-second ad with a voiceover"
Audio
"Read this paragraph aloud in a warm female voice and save it as an MP3"
"Write and generate a 90-second upbeat pop track about summer road trips"
"Transcribe this interview recording and give me speaker-separated text"
LLM and discovery
"Ask DeepSeek V3.2 to review this file for security issues"
"Which video models support reference images, and what do they cost?"
Supported capabilities
| Capability | Endpoint | Example models |
|---|---|---|
| Image generation | POST /api/v1/model/generateImage | Seedream v5.0 Pro, FLUX 2, Qwen Image 3.0 |
| 3D generation | POST /api/v1/model/generateImage | Hunyuan3D Pro, Seed3D 2.0, Tripo H3.1 |
| Video generation | POST /api/v1/model/generateVideo | Seedance 2.5, Kling, Wan 3.0, Veo |
| Speech synthesis | POST /api/v1/model/generateAudio | Seed Audio 1.0, ElevenLabs, MiniMax Speech |
| Music generation | POST /api/v1/model/generateAudio | Suno Chirp v5, MiniMax Music 3.0 |
| Speech-to-text | POST /api/v1/model/generateAudio | Seed ASR 2.0, xAI STT v1 |
| LLM chat | POST /v1/chat/completions | DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax |
| Media upload | POST /api/v1/model/uploadMedia | Local file to hosted URL |
| Model discovery | Catalog lookup | Search by name, type, or provider |
3D generation runs through the image endpoint, and speech, music, and transcription all share the audio endpoint. The direction is determined by the model you pick, not by the URL. See Audio models and Predictions for the full request and polling flow.
Skills or MCP Server?
Both bring Atlas Cloud into your development environment, but they solve different problems:
| Skills | MCP Server | |
|---|---|---|
| Works with | Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and other skill-aware agents | Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, and more |
| What it provides | Domain knowledge, parameter rules, and code templates | Executable tools the agent calls directly |
| Setup | One command | JSON or TOML config per client |
| Best for | Writing integration code, multi-step creative workflows | Running generations without leaving the editor |
Use both. The MCP Server executes the calls; the skills teach your agent which model to pick and which parameters actually matter.
See the MCP Server guide for setup.
Using skills with DeepSeek Harness
If you work in DeepSeek Harness, the dsh-media-gen bundle packages these skills as a profile plugin:
dsh plugin --profile web add 'github:AtlasCloudAI/dsh-media-gen#v0.2.0'
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"The bundle tracks the upstream skills and can optionally enable the Atlas Cloud MCP server alongside them.
