Dlazy Start

Security

Quickstart for AI orchestrators (Claude Code / Cursor / Codex / Copilot) driving @dlazy/cli. Covers install, auth, capability discovery, invoking cloud + local tools, polling async tasks, and recovering from common failures.

dlazy-start — Quickstart for AI Agents

English · 中文

A minimal contract for AI orchestrators using @dlazy/cli. The CLI is a tool-dispatch surface: every registered cloud + local tool becomes a top-level subcommand. There is no built-in project workspace or pipeline state machine — those are agent-side concepts.

License: AGPL-3.0-or-later.

What this skill teaches

You drive @dlazy/cli from auth through tool invocation:

  • Cloud tools (40+) — image / video / audio / text providers (Seedream, Recraft, MJ, Veo, Seedance, Kling, ElevenLabs, …)
  • Local tools (40+) — state_lock_profile, video_compose, post_render_gate, scene_detect, frame_sampler, audio_mixer, audio_probe, transcribe, subtitle, color_grade, extract_segment, ffmpeg_run, … (full list via dlazy tools list)
  • CLI commands: auth, doctor, tools list, tools describe, status, plus one top-level subcommand per registered tool.

Phase 0 — Install & auth

# Install once
npm install -g @dlazy/cli

# Authenticate (device-code flow; works in remote shells)
dlazy auth login

Alternate auth: dlazy auth set YOUR_API_KEY, or set the DLAZY_API_KEY env var. Config lives at ~/.dlazy/config.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.dlazy\).

Global flags every command accepts: --api-key, --base-url, --verbose, --output <json|url|text>, --refresh-manifest, -l/--lang <locale>.


Phase 1 — Discover capabilities

dlazy --help                         # top-level command surface
dlazy tools list                     # registered tools with type + cost shape
dlazy tools describe <name>          # input/output JSON schema, hasCosts, examples

Optional local runtimes need a one-time install:

dlazy doctor remotion                # report Remotion composer state
dlazy doctor remotion --install      # ~50s, installs the bundled composer

dlazy doctor yt-dlp --install        # for video_downloader on YouTube et al.
dlazy doctor yt-dlp --install --proxy http://127.0.0.1:1087

Some sandboxes restrict the tool surface via DLAZY_DISABLED_TOOLS=<csv>; disabled tools are hidden from dlazy --help and refuse invocation with a clear tool_disabled error.


Phase 2 — Invoke a tool

Every tool is a top-level subcommand:

# Inline flags (mirrors the input schema)
dlazy gpt-image-2 --prompt "cyberpunk cat at dusk"

# JSON input file (preferred for complex shapes)
dlazy video_compose --input @work/compose.json --output json

# Dry-run for validation only (no remote call, no credit consumption)
dlazy seedance-2-0 --input @plan.json --dry-run

Per-tool help is generated from the schema:

dlazy <tool-name> --help

Output modes:

  • --output text (default) — human-readable envelope
  • --output json — single JSON line per call; parse with jq
  • --output url — bare URL when the tool produces a single asset

Phase 3 — Poll async cloud tasks

Long-running generations return a generateId instead of the final asset:

dlazy status <generateId>
dlazy status <generateId> --output json

Repeat until status is succeeded (then the asset URL is in the payload) or failed (with error.code + error.message).


Phase 4 — Common failure recovery

dlazy doctor remotion --install fails on npm install:

  • Check Node ≥ 18 (node --version).
  • Behind a corp proxy: set npm_config_proxy / npm_config_https_proxy.

video_downloader returns "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot":

  • YouTube anti-bot challenge. Pass "cookies_from_browser": "chrome" (or firefox / safari / edge) in the input JSON.

video_compose returns "render_runtime=hyperframes not yet implemented":

  • HyperFrames runtime not shipped. Switch edit_decisions.render_runtime to remotion or ffmpeg, then re-validate via pre_render_validator.

ElevenLabs STT returns an empty words array:

  • Pass timestamps_granularity: "word" explicitly.

Need to know a tool's cost before invoking:

  • dlazy tools describe <name> exposes hasCosts and the cost shape. Log the estimate to a local file or your audit log before calling the tool.

Unknown command suggestion:

  • dlazy <typo> returns error: unknown command '<typo>' plus a "Did you mean …?" suggestion line based on edit distance. Trust the suggestion only after confirming via dlazy tools list.

Anti-patterns

  • Calling a tool whose existence you haven't verified via dlazy tools list.
  • Memorizing provider names from prior sessions instead of re-checking the registry (tools come and go).
  • Silently swapping render runtime mid-pipeline (govern via state_lock_profile
    • post_render_gate parity checks instead).
  • Calling paid generation without announcing provider / model / cost first.
