At a glance

A skill your agent uses when making, reviewing, debugging, or scripting Runware API requests.

  • Scripting Runware API requests
  • SKILL.md covers Docs To Check, Request Rules, Local Helper and Async And Polling, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls python3; reaches runware.ai and api.runware.ai; needs RUNWARE_API_KEY and API_KEY
  • Tasks that involve Realtime and WebSockets

What it does

Runware API is an agent skill from LayrKits/Sprite-Pipeline. Use when making, reviewing, debugging, or scripting Runware API requests. Follow Runware's raw REST/WebSocket request shape, authentication, UUID, async polling, error, retry, and model-selection rules.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Realtime and WebSockets. The repository describes itself as: 2D Sprite Sheet Creation Pipeline.

When your agent uses it

  • Scripting Runware API requests
  • Tasks that involve Realtime and WebSockets

Example prompts

  • “/runware-api”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in API_KEY
  • A credential in RUNWARE_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df08816. 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:

    • python3

    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:

    • runware.ai
    • api.runware.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • RUNWARE_API_KEY
    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Runware API loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 466 words (~1,093 tokens).

“Use this skill when working with Runware requests in this repo. Prefer the current Runware docs for model-specific parameters, because available models and capabilities change often.”
