Is it a good fit?

Good for

  • Creators making music & audio with a coding agent.
  • A project starting from a song MP3 and its lyrics, one sung line per row.

Not for

  • A hosted rendering service or a guaranteed one-click edit; the workflow runs in your coding agent.
  • Media you do not have rights to use, or recreating a public figure or another show's branding.

Requirements

  • A coding agent that can read local files and run commands, with access to your own or licensed input media.
  • Node.js 22+ and npm for HyperFrames 0.8.193; ffmpeg/ffprobe for local media processing and MP4 export.
  • Python 3 plus Whisper CLI and a downloaded speech model when deriving timings from audio. Supply a corrected transcript for captions.
  • Your own or licensed song and its exact lyrics. Install a vocal separator and acoustic aligner separately when the mix or sung-word timing requires them; these models are not bundled.
  • A measured beat map, or librosa installed to extract beats from the supplied track.

How it runs

  1. Your agent starts a session. SkillGild checks your access and allowance, counts one run, and sends the skill's instructions for this task.
  2. Your agent does the work with its own model and tools, in your project. SkillGild makes no AI model call.

Use it from code

Start a session, follow its guide, then end it. Create an API key under Account and pass it as a bearer token.

# Prints the session ID, its tools and the instructions for your agent
