What it does
Get Started is an agent skill from glifxyz/glif-mcp-server. Help someone start with Glif. Explain how it connects, check the connection and credits for free, and suggest what to make first. Use when the user asks what Glif is, how to set it up, whether it's connected, which account is connected, how many credits they have, or what Glif can do. Never starts generation.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`). Compatibility notes: Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Glif's hosted MCP server, plugin and skills for creating images, video and audio. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and more. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks what Glif is
- How to set it up
- Whether its connected
- Which account is connected

- “/get-started”

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54b6103. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
glif.app
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.
Compatibility
Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Get Started loads about 716 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Help the user get oriented. The user's explicit instructions come first, within host safety rules.
- Check the connection. If Glif's tools are available, call
whoami; it's free and proves the connection works. If they're missing, help the user connect:- Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server, thenclaude plugin install glif@glif, then/mcpto sign in. - Any other client: add the remote MCP server
https://glif.app/api/mcpand sign in when the browser opens. https://glif.app/mcp has steps for each client. Never ask for passwords, API keys or sign-in codes in chat. A free account can be created at https://glif.app.
- Claude Code:
- Explain what costs credits. Only
compose_projectspends the account's Glif credits. Connecting, browsing, choosing a reference and checking status are free. Video uses more credits than images. Glif decides the real cost when it runs. Plans and credits are managed at https://glif.app/pricing; never buy or upgrade in chat. - If the user asks which account or how many credits, report only the
whoamifields they asked about, such as username, available credits or recent spend. - To browse, call
list_projects, thenget_projectfor the one they pick. Show media links from the result. If the host renders Glif's viewer,view_mediacan reopen saved media in it. - Explain how continuity works:
- A project keeps its messages and media. Passing its
project_idtocompose_projectadds new work to the same project. - A new reference file goes through
upload_file. Its returnedfileUrlgoes incompose_project'sattachments. - Project IDs, job IDs, asset IDs and media URLs are different values. Do not swap them.
- A project keeps its messages and media. Passing its

- In a codebase: "add a hero image and texture to this page", "make a logo and favicon set", "record a 30-second demo of this app", "make App Store screenshots", "add UI sounds".
- Anywhere: "make a YouTube thumbnail", "remove the background from this image", "create a character sheet", "make an explainer video", "generate a voiceover", "plan an ad campaign", "show my recent projects". Or show a draft brief for review.
