picsart-add-media

picsart-add-media is a skill for Claude Code from PicsArt/gen-ai-skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser upload step that sends the user’s own photos, videos, or files to Picsart and returns web links that its tools can use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before editing, combining, or generating media from local files when a public HTTPS link is needed. It requires a connected Picsart tool service.
Why use it?
It solves the problem that many agent tools accept web links but cannot directly read files stored on a user’s computer or attached in chat.

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 A, and why

picsart-add-media scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add Media (Upload Widget)

Picsart's MCP tools take URLs, not local paths, and most agent hosts (browser-based chats, Claude Code without shell access, ChatGPT web) can't read a file straight off the user's disk either. The fix is a browser-based upload widget: an MCP tool opens a drag-and-drop panel in the user's browser, the browser uploads the file directly to Picsart's CDN, and the widget hands the resulting URL back to you. No file bytes ever pass through a tool call.

When to Use

Fires on things like "I have 3 video clips", "here are my photos", "use my footage", "combine these clips" — anything where the media is the user's own and you don't already have a link to it.

Reach for this whenever the next step needs a URL (image_url, video_url, startFrame, …) and the source is something on the user's own machine, a chat attachment you can't fetch, or anything else not already a public https:// link.

Prerequisites

A Picsart MCP connector present in the current tool list. This skill calls whichever of these is connected:

  • picsart_upload_widget — on the Picsart MCP connector (tools prefixed picsart_*). This variant also offers a "Save to Drive" option and a Drive-browsing tab, because that connector has Drive access.
  • mp_upload — on the Picsart media-tools connector (tools prefixed mp_*). This variant has no Drive integration; its second tab is "Use existing" (picks from known_urls you pass in), not a Drive browser.

If both are connected, either works — prefer whichever the current tool list actually shows first. If neither is connected, say so; don't guess a tool name.

How to Run

No script to run — this skill is one tool call plus a short wait for the user's next message.

Quick Reference

Argument What it does
(none) Opens the widget with no pre-filled context — a plain drag-and-drop
purpose Label shown on the dropzone (e.g. "product photo")
accept Restrict to image, video, or audio
detected_files Filenames you can see in the conversation but can't reach yourself (e.g. a chat attachment) — rendered as a hint only
known_urls URLs already produced earlier in the conversation, seeded as pickable chips so the user isn't asked to re-upload something already available

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
