Rendobar agent skills

Give your coding agent Rendobar's media processing and AI generation API: FFmpeg jobs, compression to a target size, captions, composition from a JSON timeline, and image generation, editing, and upscaling.

Install

npx skills add rendobar/agent-skills

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and every other agent that reads the Agent Skills format.

As a Claude Code plugin instead:

/plugin marketplace add rendobar/agent-skills

That also registers Rendobar's hosted MCP server, so the agent can run jobs in the conversation rather than only write code that calls the API.

What is in it

Path	What
skills/rendobar/SKILL.md	The router: quick start, verification rules, common mistakes, error triage
skills/rendobar/references/integration.md	Wiring Rendobar into a codebase end to end
skills/rendobar/references/jobs.md	Submitting jobs and collecting results
skills/rendobar/references/webhooks.md	Endpoints, signature verification, retry behavior
skills/rendobar/references/errors.md	The error envelope and how to react to each code
skills/rendobar/scripts/preflight.mjs	Run before writing code: checks the key, the balance, and the live job catalog
skill-evals/rendobar/evals.json	The scenarios this skill has to pass

Design

The skill deliberately carries as few facts as possible. Job types and their parameters are read live from GET /jobs/types and the per-type schema endpoint, so the skill cannot go stale between releases. What it does carry is the part an agent cannot discover on its own: that a complete status does not mean the output is correct, that a wait timeout is not a failure, and that the API key belongs in an env file and never in a chat window.

What it does at runtime

The skill reads two first-party Rendobar endpoints, both of which return JSON data rather than instructions:

• GET https://api.rendobar.com/jobs/types and the per-type schema endpoint
• https://api.rendobar.com/openapi.json

It fetches no instructions to follow, sends no telemetry, and contacts no other host. scripts/preflight.mjs additionally calls /orgs/current and /billing/state with your own key, to check that the key works and that the account has credit. Your key is read from RENDOBAR_API_KEY in the environment and is never printed or transmitted anywhere except to Rendobar.

Not using skills?

The same guidance is published as a prompt you can paste into any assistant. See Build with AI for it. That is a separate distribution channel for people without a skills-capable agent. This skill does not fetch or defer to it.
