Pixcli Skill
by @cohnen
Creative toolkit for AI agents — generate images, videos, voiceover, music, and sound effects, then assemble polished output via Remotion. Uses the pixcli CL...
1. Use the CLI
AI agents should always run pixcli via npx --yes pixcli — it's in the scoped allowlist and requires no global install:
npx --yes pixcli image "a red fox in a forest"
Humans who prefer a global install for interactive terminals can optionally run npm install -g pixcli once outside the agent — the agent doesn't need (or have permission for) that command.
> Important for AI agents: npx prompts for confirmation before installing packages. The --yes flag auto-accepts. Without it, the command will hang waiting for input. Always use npx --yes pixcli in non-interactive contexts.
> Always use --json: All commands support --json which suppresses spinners and human-readable output, returning only structured JSON to stdout. This minimizes token consumption and gives you machine-parseable results. Alternatively, set PIXCLI_JSON=1 once to enable JSON mode for all commands without passing the flag each time.
2. Authenticate
export PIXCLI_API_KEY="px_live_..."
Get your API key at https://pixcli.shellbot.sh. The key covers all capabilities: images, video, voice, music, and sound effects.
3. Verify
pixcli --version
