What it does

Discoart is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use this repo skill for DiscoArt image generation, configuration/prompt scheduling, CLI, Jina serving, Docker runtime planning, and troubleshooting.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/package-overview.md`, `references/repo-provenance.md` and `references/repo-routing-metadata.json`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation and Containers. It works with Docker, CUDA and Python. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Image generation
  • Tasks that involve Containers

Example prompts

  • “/discoart”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install/import check. Use scripts/check_discoart_environment.py --check-cuda to verify package imports, version, default config access…
  2. Pick the right route. Use the sub-skill map below; most tasks should immediately move to a focused sub-skill.
  3. Normalize before running. Validate YAML/kwargs through discoart.config.load_config or the bundled validators before calling create() or…
  4. Preserve names and paths. Prefer explicit name_docarray, DISCOART_OUTPUT_DIR, and DISCOART_CACHE_DIR so outputs and cache behavior are…
  5. Check provenance if stale. Read references/repo-provenance.md before refreshing this skill or comparing it with a newer checkout.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Discoart loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.2k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 553 words (~1,277 tokens).

“Use this skill when the task involves DiscoArt, the Python package for creating Disco Diffusion artworks through a one-line API, YAML/CLI workflows, and optional Jina service deployment.”
