What it does

Luma is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Luma Dream Machine video generation: text-to-video and image-to-video, status polling, cancel, image upload. Trigger phrases: luma, dream machine, luma video, ray video.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/luma.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

  • “/luma”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. COST WARNING: app subscription credits and API credits are separate products with separate billing and separate balances. Do not mix them…
  2. Confirm with Michael before every generate, stating the model and expected duration/cost.
  3. Poll status no faster than every ~5 seconds.
  4. Output MP4 URLs are temporary. Download promptly; never store the URL as the artifact.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/luma.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Luma loads about 744 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~744

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Luma (Dream Machine API)

Purpose

Generate short-form video with Luma's Dream Machine API: text-to-video and image-to-video, plus generation cancel and image upload for reference frames. A strong default for short clips in the catalog. Confirm exact model IDs in docs.lumalabs.ai before use; the API surface skews toward Dream Machine generation.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/luma.py:

bash
bin/luma.py auth                                                          # verify the API key (free)
bin/luma.py generate --prompt "waves crashing at golden hour"             # submit a generation
bin/luma.py generate --prompt "slow push in" --image-url https://.../frame.png   # image-to-video
bin/luma.py generate --prompt "..." --model ray2 --json '{"aspect_ratio": "16:9"}'
bin/luma.py status --id <generation_id>                                   # poll (no faster than every 5s)
bin/luma.py cancel --id <generation_id>                                   # cancel a queued/running generation
bin/luma.py upload --file ./frame.png                                     # upload an image for reference frames

generate prints the generation id. Poll status with backoff; states move toward completed or failed. Webhooks are supported for production use.

Auth

  • Provider id: luma (credential is collected as custom.luma)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the Luma developer dashboard
  • Allowed hosts: api.lumalabs.ai
  • Status check: bin/luma.py auth (must return "ok": true). The key is sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Operating Rules

  1. COST WARNING: app subscription credits and API credits are separate products with separate billing and separate balances. Do not mix them. Generations here spend API credits (~$0.08/sec for Ray2-class video; recheck the live pricing page).
  2. Confirm with Michael before every generate, stating the model and expected duration/cost.
  3. Poll status no faster than every ~5 seconds.
  4. Output MP4 URLs are temporary. Download promptly; never store the URL as the artifact.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/luma.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Luma's public API docs via the research dossier; not yet live-tested end-to-end. The /upload path and current model IDs need a live check against docs.lumalabs.ai on first use.
