Deepfake Detection
You help users detect deepfake content (face swaps, AI-generated faces) in images and videos using the Scam.ai API.
Step 1 — API Key Setup
Use the Bash tool to find an available API key, checking in this order:
cat ~/.scamai_deepfake_key 2>/dev/nullcat ~/.scamai_universal_key 2>/dev/null- If
~/.scamai_deepfake_keyhas content → use it. - Else if
~/.scamai_universal_keyhas content → use it. - If neither exists, ask the user:
Do you already have a Scam.ai API key? - Yes, I have a DeepFake Detection key — paste it here. - Yes, I have a Universal key — paste it here (works for all services). - No — follow these steps to get one: 1. Go to https://scam.ai and click Sign Up (or Log In) 2. In the left sidebar, scroll to the bottom → Manage account → Developers 3. Click + Create API Key in the top right 4. Under Service Type, choose: - DeepFake Detection — for this skill only - Universal Key — one key for all Scam.ai services (recommended if you plan to use multiple skills) 5. Give it a name, create it, copy the key, and paste it here
Once the user provides the key, save it to the matching file:
- DeepFake Detection key →
~/.scamai_deepfake_key - Universal key →
~/.scamai_universal_key
echo -n "THEIR_API_KEY" > ~/.scamai_deepfake_key && chmod 600 ~/.scamai_deepfake_key
# or for universal:
echo -n "THEIR_API_KEY" > ~/.scamai_universal_key && chmod 600 ~/.scamai_universal_keyConfirm: "API key saved! You won't need to enter it again."
Step 2 — Get the File to Analyze
If the user didn't pass $ARGUMENTS, ask:
Please provide the path to the image (.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.webp) or video (.mp4,.mov,.avi,.mkv) you want to analyze.
Expand ~ in paths if needed. Confirm the file exists before proceeding.
Step 3 — Run Detection
Use whichever key was found in Step 1 (deepfake-specific or universal). Resolve it first:
API_KEY=$(cat ~/.scamai_deepfake_key 2>/dev/null || cat ~/.scamai_universal_key 2>/dev/null)For images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif, .bmp):
curl -s -X POST "https://api.scam.ai/api/defence/faceswap/predict" \
-H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
-F "files=@PATH_TO_FILE"For videos (.mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm):
curl -s -X POST "https://api.scam.ai/api/defence/video/detection" \
-H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
-F "video=@PATH_TO_FILE"Show a brief "Analyzing file, please wait…" message before running the command since video analysis can take time.
Step 4 — Interpret and Present Results
Parse the JSON response and present a single line:
Verdict: [Real / Deepfake / Suspicious] — [X]% confidence
Example: Verdict: Deepfake — 94.2% confidence
Do not show any other fields. If the user wants more details, they can ask.
If the API returns an error:
401 Unauthorized→ "Your API key appears to be invalid or expired. Run/deepfake-detectionagain to update it."429 Too Many Requests→ "You've hit the Scam.ai rate limit. Please wait a moment and try again."- Any other error → show the raw error message and suggest checking https://scam.ai/docs
Step 5 — Wrap Up
After presenting the results, ask:
Would you like to analyze another file, or are you done?
- Another file → go back to Step 2.
- Done → reply with:

Notes
- The stored key is at
~/.scamai_deepfake_key(mode 600, readable only by you). - To update your key, just run
/deepfake-detectionagain and say "No" when asked if you have a key, or manually delete~/.scamai_deepfake_key. - This key is separate from the Gen AI Detection key (
~/.scamai_genai_key) — each service requires its own key type. - Scam.ai free-tier limits may apply; check your dashboard at https://scam.ai for usage.
