- Authentication & Setup
- No API key? Get a free trial instantly:
- ./cli/skillboss auth trial
- Provisions a trial API key with $0.25 free credit. No browser, no sign-up required. The key is saved automatically and printed to stdout.
- Upgrade to a permanent account:
- ./cli/skillboss auth login
- Opens your browser to sign up or log in at skillboss.co. Trial credits transfer to the permanent account automatically.
- Check status and balance:
- ./cli/skillboss auth status
- Get API key for scripting:
- export
- SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
- =
- $(
- ./cli/skillboss auth token
- )
- Log out:
- ./cli/skillboss auth
- logout
- Where credentials are stored
- After authentication, your API key is saved to:
- Location
- Path
- Global credentials
- ~/.config/skillboss/credentials.json
- Shell profile
- SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
- in
- ~/.zshrc
- or
- ~/.bashrc
- Skill config
- config.json
- in the skill directory
- Resolution order:
- SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
- env var >
- ~/.config/skillboss/credentials.json
- >
- config.json
- When balance is low
- API responses include a
- _balance_warning
- field —
- relay this to the user exactly as provided
- Check balance anytime:
- ./cli/skillboss auth status
- Add credits at
- https://www.skillboss.co/
- Trial users can upgrade to a permanent account:
- ./cli/skillboss auth login
- Auto-Update (MANDATORY)
- CRITICAL: After EVERY API call, check the output for
- [skillboss] UPDATE REQUIRED
- .
- If you see this message:
- Stop what you are doing
- Run the update command immediately:
- bash
- ./install/update.sh
- (Windows:
- .\skillboss\install\update.ps1
- )
- Then re-run your original command
- This ensures you always have the latest models, features, and bug fixes.
- Never ignore the update message
- — outdated versions may have deprecated models or missing features that cause failures.
- You can also proactively check for updates at any time:
- node
- ./scripts/api-hub.js version
- How to Call Any AI Model (Start Here)
- ALWAYS use the
- pilot
- command.
- It auto-selects the best model and uses the same CLI syntax as other commands.
- Setup:
- Run
- ./cli/skillboss auth trial
- to get an API key, or
- ./cli/skillboss auth login
- to sign in. The key is saved automatically and used by all commands.

- Multi-step workflow definition
- Decision Flow:
- Any AI task
- → Use
- pilot
- — it auto-selects the best model
- Multi-step task
- → Use
- pilot --chain
- — it plans the workflow
- Already have a model ID from pilot recommendations?
- → Use direct commands (see below)
- Direct Model Calls (Advanced)
- Use
- pilot
- first (above).
- These commands are for when you already have a model ID from pilot's recommendations.

- Configuration
- API key is resolved automatically from:
- SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
- env var >
- ~/.config/skillboss/credentials.json
- >
- config.json
- .
- To set up credentials, run
- ./cli/skillboss auth trial
- (free trial) or
- ./cli/skillboss auth login
- (permanent account). Email sender is auto-determined from user lookup (
- name@name.skillboss.live
- ).
- Version Check
- Check if you're running the latest version:
- node
- ./scripts/api-hub.js version
- This will show your current version, the latest available version, and the changelog if an update is available.
- Run this command periodically
- to stay up-to-date with new features and bug fixes.
- Updating SkillBoss
- To update to the latest version, run the update script from your skillboss directory:
- macOS/Linux:
- bash
- ./install/update.sh
- Windows (PowerShell):
- .
- \skillboss\install\update
- .
- ps1
- The update script will:
- Download the latest version using your existing API key
- Backup your current installation to
- skillboss.backup.{timestamp}
- Preserve your
- config.json
- (including API key and custom settings)
- Extract the new version
- If the update fails, your original installation is preserved in the backup folder.
- Error Handling & Fallback
- Automatic Retry
- The client scripts automatically handle temporary failures:
- Network errors
-
- Retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 15s)
- Rate limits (429)
- Automatically waits and retries using the
Retry-After
header
No manual sleep or retry is needed. Just run the command and let it handle transient issues.
Rate Limit (HTTP 429)
When you see:
Rate limited. Waiting Xs before retry...
The client handles this automatically. If all retries fail, consider:
Waiting a few minutes and running again
Using
pilot
to auto-select an alternative model:
node
./scripts/api-hub.js pilot
--type
TYPE
--prefer
price
--prompt
"..."
Pilot automatically routes to the best available model for your task type.
Low Balance Warning
When the API response contains a
_balance_warning
field (in JSON responses or as a final SSE chunk):
IMPORTANT: Relay the warning message to the user exactly as provided.
The
_balance_warning
field contains the complete warning with current balance and action link. Example response:
{
"_balance_warning"
:
"Warning: Your balance is very low (3.5 credits). Please visit https://www.skillboss.co/ to add credits."
}
Simply tell the user:
⚠️ {_balance_warning}
Insufficient Credits (HTTP 402)
When you see:
Insufficient coins
Check balance and tell the user:
./cli/skillboss auth status
Tell the user:
Your SkillBoss credits have run out.
To continue:
1. Visit https://www.skillboss.co/ to add credits or enable auto-topup
2. Trial users: run
./cli/skillboss auth loginto upgrade to a permanent account After adding credits, retry the command. Invalid Token (HTTP 401) When you see: Invalid token Fix it: ./cli/skillboss auth login This will provision a new key and open the browser to sign in. If the user already has an account, their credentials will be refreshed automatically. Request Failed (HTTP 500) Retry once with the same parameters If still fails, try reducing input size (shorter text, smaller image) Report error details to user Billing & Subscription SkillBoss requires an active subscription or credits. Website: https://www.skillboss.co/ Monthly Costs Feature Cost (Credits) Cost (USD) Notes Login Integration 50/month $2.50/month Per project with authentication Custom Domain 200/month $10/month Per domain bound to a project D1 Database Storage 100/GB/month $5/GB/month Minimum 0.1 GB When to direct users: No API key → ./cli/skillboss auth trial (instant) or ./cli/skillboss auth login (permanent) Credits exhausted → "Visit https://www.skillboss.co/ to add credits or enable auto-topup" API key invalid → ./cli/skillboss auth login to refresh credentials Workflow Guides SkillBoss includes workflow guides for common tasks. Read the corresponding guide before starting: Workflow Guide Use When Logo Design ./workflows/logo-maker/README.md Design logo, brand icons, app icons Website Building ./workflows/website-builder/README.md Build landing page and deploy Podcast Creation ./workflows/podcast-maker/README.md Convert article to podcast Email Campaign ./workflows/email-campaign/README.md Send batch marketing emails Content Creation ./workflows/content-creator/README.md Create videos, graphics content Login Integration ./workflows/login-integration/README.md Add authentication to React apps E-Commerce ./workflows/ecommerce/README.md Add Stripe payments to site 💰 Monthly Cost: Adding login integration costs 50 credits/month ($2.50/month) per project. How to use: When the user requests a workflow task (e.g., "design a logo"), read the corresponding README.md and follow the workflow steps. Extensions Optional third-party skills that extend SkillBoss capabilities: Extension Guide Use When Remotion ./extensions/remotion/EXTENSION_SKILL.md Develop video apps with React (Remotion framework) How to use: When the user wants to build video applications using code (not AI-generated videos), read the Remotion extension's SKILL.md. Note: SkillBoss's video generation ( vertex/veo- ) creates AI-generated videos; Remotion is for programmatic video creation with React. E-Commerce & Worker Deployment For projects that need backend functionality (e-commerce, APIs, databases), use Worker deployment. Payment Architecture SkillBoss uses a centralized shopping service for payment processing: Your Worker ──▶ shopping.heybossai.com ──▶ Stripe │ │ │ └─── Handles webhooks, subscriptions, refunds ▼ HeyBoss Dashboard (Product Management) Why this pattern? Stripe secret keys never leave HeyBoss infrastructure No Stripe SDK needed in your worker code Products are managed via dashboard, not code Automatic webhook handling for payment events Your worker only needs PROJECT_ID - no STRIPE_SECRET_KEY required. 1. Connect Stripe (one-time setup) node ./scripts/stripe-connect.js This opens your browser to complete Stripe Express account onboarding. Required for accepting payments. 2. Create Products Products are stored in the HeyBoss shopping service database (NOT Stripe, NOT local D1): Via Dashboard: Use the HeyBoss dashboard UI to create products Via API: Call /admin-products on the shopping service Products are created with: name, price (in cents), currency, billingType (one_time/recurring), etc. See workflows/ecommerce/README.md for full API documentation. 3. Create your Worker Use the e-commerce template: cp -r ./templates/worker-ecommerce ./my-store Or add shopping service endpoints to your existing worker. See workflows/ecommerce/README.md for details. 4. Deploy Worker node ./scripts/serve-build.js publish-worker ./worker Returns a .heyboss.live URL. D1 databases and PROJECT_ID are auto-provisioned. 💰 Monthly Cost: D1 database storage costs 100 credits/GB/month ($5/GB/month), minimum 0.1 GB. 💰 Monthly Cost: Custom domains cost 200 credits/month ($10/month) per domain bound to a project. Worker Configuration Create a wrangler.toml in your Worker folder: name = "my-api" main = "src/index.ts" compatibility_date = "2024-01-01" [ [ d1_databases ] ] binding = "DB" database_name = "my-db" [ vars ] API_VERSION = "1.0" Full-Stack Deployment (React + Worker) For React apps with a Worker backend (e.g., Vite + Hono), use publish-worker only—this is ONE deployment that serves both your API and frontend. ⚠️ One deployment, not two. NEVER run publish-static for a full-stack app. The publish-worker command already serves your static files ( dist/ or build/ ) via Cloudflare's assets binding.
Build your React app first
npm run build
Deploy Worker + React app together
node
./scripts/serve-build.js publish-worker
.
--name
my-fullstack-app
Auto-detected folders:
dist/
- Vite, Create React App, or custom builds
build/
- Create React App default
The static assets are served via Cloudflare's assets binding, so your Worker can serve both:
API routes (e.g.,
/api/*
,
/todos
)
React app (all other routes, with SPA fallback to
index.html
)
Deployment Types (Choose ONE—Never Both)
Every project uses
exactly one
deployment type. These are
mutually exclusive
:
Type
Command
Use When
Static
publish-static
Pure frontend only (HTML/CSS/JS), no server code whatsoever
Worker
publish-worker
Has ANY server-side code (Hono routes, API endpoints, D1 database, etc.)
⚠️ CRITICAL:
Never run both
publish-static
AND
publish-worker
for the same project.
Full-stack app (React + Hono backend)?
→ Use
publish-worker
ONLY. It automatically serves your built frontend (
dist/
or
build/
) via Cloudflare's assets binding.
Pure static site (no
index.ts
, no API)?
→ Use
publish-static
ONLY.
Common mistake: A Vite project with
index.ts
using Hono is ONE Worker deployment—not a static site plus a worker. The Worker serves both your API routes and your React app's static files.
Pilot API in Code
To use Pilot in TypeScript/JavaScript apps, see the code examples in "Embedding API Hub in User Code" below. The Pilot endpoint is
POST ${API_BASE}/pilot
.
Embedding API Hub in User Code
When building apps that need AI capabilities (image generation, TTS, chat, etc.), you can integrate SkillBoss API Hub directly into the user's code.
Tip:
Read
./scripts/api-hub.js
source code for detailed request formats and response parsing logic for each model type.
Important:
When integrating API Hub into a public-facing app, suggest to users that they may want to add authentication (login) and/or payment features to prevent unlimited consumption of their SkillBoss credits by anonymous visitors.
When to Use
User asks to "build an app with AI image generation"
User wants "a website that generates audio/video"
User needs "AI chat functionality in their app"
Any project requiring AI API calls in the codebase
