Generate illustrations and visuals using Antekirt artists and prompts. This skill handles API configuration (key and base URL) and manages the asynchronous generation process, returning image URLs for direct use. Use when you need to create custom art with a specific artist's style. Supports: listing artists, generating images, vectorizing to SVG, animating to video. Trigger phrases: "illustrate", "generate an image", "draw", "create art", "Antekirt", "artist style".
Antekirt is an API platform providing infrastructure for generative visuals backed by real artists, with clear commercial licensing. This skill lets you generate illustrations, SVG vectors, and videos using any artist available on the platform.

# Step 2 — poll until status=completed
curl -s "https://api.antekirt.com/api/v1/generations/<generation_id>" \
-H "x-api-key: <your_api_key>"
node scripts/antekirt.js svg --generation-id '<uuid>'
Cost: 5 credits.
node scripts/antekirt.js video \
