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#

bash

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

Search by name:

bash

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

Alternative (curl):

bash

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

---

2. Generate an Illustration#

bash

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

Or by artist ID:

bash

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):

bash

# 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#

bash

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

Cost: 5 credits.

4. Animate to Video#

bash

node scripts/antekirt.js video \
  --generation-id '<uuid>' \
  --prompt 'slowly zooming in' \

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.
