  • Works in 8 steps: Text/Chat Generation → Image Generation → Image to Image → …
  • User requests AI-powered generation (text completion
  • SKILL.md covers API Key, Quick Start, API Endpoints and Scripts, plus 2 more sections

What it does

Pollinations is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Pollinations.ai API for AI generation - text, images, videos, audio, and analysis. Use when user requests AI-powered generation (text completion, images, videos, audio, vision/analysis, transcription) or mentions Pollinations. Supports 25+ models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Flux, Veo, etc.) with OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint and specialized generation endpoints.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/chat.sh`, `scripts/image.sh` and `scripts/tts.sh`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription, AI video generation and Text to speech and voice. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

  • Vision/analysis
  • Mentions Pollinations

  3. Image to Image
  4. Video Generation
  5. Audio Generation (TTS)
  6. Audio Transcription
  7. Image Analysis
  8. Video Analysis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    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:

    • gen.pollinations.ai

    Also links to:

    • enter.pollinations.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • POLLINATIONS_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Pollinations loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 539 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 539 words (~1,744 tokens).

“Unified AI platform for text, images, videos, and audio generation with 25+ models.”
