genviral Partner API Skill

TL;DR: Wraps genviral's Partner API into 50+ bash commands. Core flow: get-pack → analyze images (metadata + vision) → generate with pinned_images → render → visual review (hard gate) → create-post → log to workspace/performance/log.json. Studio AI: studio-models → studio-generate-image (sync) or studio-generate-video → studio-video-status --poll (async). Auth via GENVIRAL_API_KEY. Config in defaults.yaml. Instance data in workspace/.

What This Skill Does

• Multi-Platform Posting: Video or slideshow posts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Facebook
• Studio AI Generation: Generate images (sync) and videos (async) via AI models through the API
• File Management: Upload videos/images to genviral's CDN
• AI Slideshow Generation: Photo carousels from prompts, rendered to images
• Template System: Reusable slideshow structures, convert winners to templates
• Pack Management: Image packs as slideshow backgrounds
• Analytics: KPIs, post-level metrics, tracked accounts, refresh triggers
• Niche Intelligence: One-call trend research (trend-brief) for hashtags, sounds, creators, posting windows, and hook angles
• Content Pipeline: Full automation from prompt to posted content
• Performance Tracking: Post log, hook tracking, weekly review
• Hook Library: Maintain and evolve a library of proven content hooks

How It Works

1. Generate or upload media
2. Create a post targeting one or more accounts
3. Schedule or publish (for TikTok slideshows, optionally save as drafts so you can add trending audio before publishing — music selection requires human judgment for best results)
4. Track performance via analytics
5. Learn and optimize

All configuration in defaults.yaml. Secrets via environment variables. Everything posted shows up in the Genviral dashboard.

First-Time Setup

If fresh install, read docs/setup.md and walk the user through onboarding conversationally:

1. Set API key and verify it works
2. List accounts and pick which to post to
3. Discuss image strategy (existing packs, create new, generate per post, or mix)
4. Optionally set up product context and brand voice together

No hardcoded defaults. Ask the user what they prefer and adapt. Everything done through this skill shows up in the Genviral dashboard, so the user always has full visibility and control.

Command Routing

Load only what you need for the current task:

Niche Research Mode (When user asks to research a niche)

When asked things like "research this niche", "find what works in this niche", or "give me niche intelligence":

1. Run trend-brief first for the niche keyword (7d baseline, then 24h for freshness if needed).
2. Extract and report: top hashtags, top sounds, top creators, posting windows (UTC), recommended hook angles.
3. Run competitor deep-dive using docs/references/competitor-research.md (3-5 accounts minimum).
4. Produce a short actionable output with:

- 3 hook angles to test - 2 CTA suggestions - 2 best posting windows - 5 hashtags to start with - 1 "gap to exploit" insight

1. Save findings to workspace/performance/competitor-insights.md and use them in subsequent content prompts.

Non-Negotiable Rules

These apply regardless of what docs you've loaded:

1. ALWAYS use pinned_images when generating a slideshow with a pack. Never call generate with just --pack-id — the server will pick random images. Read docs/api/packs.md before any pack workflow.

1. ALWAYS visually review every rendered slide before posting. If any slide fails readability, fix it. This is a hard gate — not a suggestion.

1. ALWAYS log to workspace/performance/log.json immediately after posting. This is the canonical record.

1. ALWAYS add a hook-tracker entry after posting. No tracking = no learning.

1. Never use em-dashes in any generated content.

1. Respect workspace/ — all instance data lives here. Do not write state files to the skill root.

Script Usage

/path/to/genviral/scripts/genviral.sh <command> [options]

Requires GENVIRAL_API_KEY as an environment variable (format: public_id.secret). Loads defaults from defaults.yaml. Set GENVIRAL_WORKSPACE_DIR to override the workspace path (defaults to workspace/ relative to the skill dir).

Auto-Updates

This skill includes a self-updater that keeps skill-owned files in sync with the latest version from fdarkaou/genviral-skill.

bash scripts/update-skill.sh           # check + apply if updates available
bash scripts/update-skill.sh --dry-run # preview only, no changes
bash scripts/update-skill.sh --force   # force re-apply even if already current

What gets updated (skill-owned): SKILL.md, scripts/, docs/ (all subdirs)

What never gets touched (user-owned): workspace/ — your data, context, hooks, and performance logs are always preserved.

Notes

• Works with any platform genviral supports (TikTok, Instagram, etc.)
• Supports both video and slideshow posts
• Works with hosted and BYO accounts
• Posts can be scheduled or queued for immediate publishing
• TikTok slideshow drafts: use post_mode: MEDIA_UPLOAD to save to drafts inbox for audio addition
