The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 1655058

Ran the real CLI locally (no API key available, so no live generation): `node generate.mjs --help` prints a full, accurate flag reference, and every command correctly refuses with 'CIVITAI_API_KEY not set' rather than silently failing; code only talks to civitai.com/orchestration-new.civitai.com endpoints, zero npm dependencies as claimed, and a free `cost --whatif` command exists specifically so users don't get surprise buzz spend.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Civitai Gen does

A self-contained Node.js CLI wrapping Civitai's orchestration Workflow API for text-to-image, 11+ video engines, text-to-speech, music, transcription, bulk batches, and parameter-sweep experiments, all sharing one submit-poll-download lifecycle. Triggers when the user wants to generate images/video/audio via Civitai or estimate buzz cost; explicitly defers model/LoRA browsing to the separate Civitai MCP server.
