.agents/skills/venice-api/SKILL.md

venice-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jordanurbs/venice-video-harness. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,138 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An integration guide for Venice AI, a service that creates images and videos from text or images through a web API. It covers the API models, requests, responses, limits, and usage guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building image-generation and video-generation workflows, including text-to-video and image-to-video jobs that run through an asynchronous queue.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid incorrect model names, request fields, and response handling when connecting software to Venice AI.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

venice-api scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Venice AI Image & Video Generation Skill

Description

Generate images and videos via the Venice AI REST API. Image generation uses the Nano Banana Pro model. Video generation uses Veo 3.1 models (image-to-video and text-to-video) via an async queue. This skill covers model names, endpoint behavior, response parsing, resolution limits, and best practices learned from production use.

Model

  • Model ID: nano-banana-pro
  • Retired models: fluently-xl was the old model ID. It returns 404 "model not found" if used. Other available models include lustify-sdxl, flux-2-max, lustify-v7 but we use nano-banana-pro for storyboard work.

Endpoints

Image Generation

POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/image/generate
Authorization: Bearer <VENICE_API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
Request Body
{
  "model": "nano-banana-pro",
  "prompt": "scene description...",
  "negative_prompt": "things to avoid...",
  "resolution": "1K",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "steps": 30,
  "cfg_scale": 7,
  "seed": 12345,
  "hide_watermark": true,
  "safe_mode": false
}

CRITICAL: Use resolution + aspect_ratio, NOT width/height. The width/height params are deprecated and silently ignored -- the API defaults to 1024x1024 (1:1) if you use them.

  • resolution: "1K" or "2K" (max 1280 on any dimension)
  • aspect_ratio: "16:9", "9:16", "4:3", "3:4", "1:1"
  • For storyboard panels: resolution: "1K" + aspect_ratio: "16:9" produces 1376x768
  • For character references: resolution: "1K" + aspect_ratio: "1:1" produces 1024x1024

nano-banana-pro does NOT accept reference image payloads (image_references, image_1, etc.) -- these cause a 400 error. Character consistency relies on exhaustive text descriptions and seed anchoring.

Optional img2img params (for edit-style generation):

{
  "image": "base64-ref-image",
  "init_image_mode": "IMAGE_STRENGTH",
  "fidelity": 0.7
}
Response Body
{
  "id": "request-id",
  "images": ["<raw-base64-encoded-image-string>"],
  "request": { ... },
  "timing": { ... }
}

venice-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository jordanurbs/venice-video-harness (30 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,138 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (sends data to an external url). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
