Antekirt Illustration Skill

Antekirt is an API platform providing infrastructure for generative visuals backed by real artists, with clear commercial licensing. This skill lets you generate illustrations, SVG vectors, and videos using any artist available on the platform.

Setup

Before using this skill, set the following environment variables:

• ANTEKIRT_API_KEY: Your Antekirt API key (obtain at antekirt.com).
• ANTEKIRT_BASE_URL: Set to https://api.antekirt.com.

Note: Node.js network access is required to run the antekirt.js script. In sandboxed environments where Node.js DNS resolution is unavailable, use the curl alternatives documented below.

Usage

The skill script is at scripts/antekirt.js. All commands require the env vars above.

1. List Available Artists

export ANTEKIRT_API_KEY='<your_api_key>'
export ANTEKIRT_BASE_URL='https://api.antekirt.com'
node scripts/antekirt.js artists

Search by name:

node scripts/antekirt.js artists --search "lupita"

Alternative (curl):

curl -s "https://api.antekirt.com/api/v1/artists?limit=25" \
  -H "x-api-key: <your_api_key>"

---

2. Generate an Illustration

node scripts/antekirt.js image \
  --artist "Lupita Banjoon" \
  --prompt "bowl of spaghetti"

Or by artist ID:

node scripts/antekirt.js image \
  --artist-id '<uuid>' \
  --prompt 'bold illustration of a mountain village at dusk'

Key parameters:

• --artist <name|id|index> — artist name, ID, or list index
• --artist-id <uuid> — direct UUID (skip lookup)
• --prompt <text> — description of the image to generate
• --timeout <seconds> — polling timeout (default: 180s)

Cost: 3 credits per image.

Alternative (curl):

# Step 1 — submit generation
curl -s -X POST "https://api.antekirt.com/api/v1/generations/image" \
  -H "x-api-key: <your_api_key>" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"artistId": "<uuid>", "prompt": "bowl of spaghetti"}'

# Step 2 — poll until status=completed
curl -s "https://api.antekirt.com/api/v1/generations/<generation_id>" \
  -H "x-api-key: <your_api_key>"

3. Vectorize to SVG

node scripts/antekirt.js svg --generation-id '<uuid>'

Cost: 5 credits.

4. Animate to Video

node scripts/antekirt.js video \
  --generation-id '<uuid>' \
  --prompt 'slowly zooming in' \
  --duration 4 \
  --resolution 720p

Cost: 25 credits.

Output

On success the script prints the direct URL(s) to the generated asset. Use these URLs to display or download the result.

Troubleshooting

• Verify your API key and that ANTEKIRT_BASE_URL is set to https://api.antekirt.com.
• If Node.js gives EAI_AGAIN (DNS failure), use the curl alternatives above.
• Contact [e-mail] or visit antekirt.com/docs for API status and support.
