Replicate Skills
Official Replicate agent skills for finding, comparing, and running AI models.
About
Replicate Skills is Replicate's official central hub of agent skills (github.com/replicate/skills, Apache-2.0), designed to be auto-invoked by AI coding agents building AI-powered apps on Replicate. It includes skills for finding models (search collections, read input/output schemas before writing code), comparing models by cost, speed, and quality, running predictions with webhooks and streaming, and prompting techniques for image and video generation.
Install with npx skills add replicate/skills; the companion replicate/cog repo also ships built-in agent skills for release workflows. Honest caveats: the skills repo is small (around 59 stars) and young; skills teach the correct Replicate API patterns but still require a Replicate API token and budget awareness for actual model runs.
What it can do
- find-models: search and read model schemas
- compare-models: cost, speed, and quality tradeoffs
- run-models: predictions, webhooks, streaming
- prompt-images and prompt-videos techniques
- Auto-invocation on matching agent tasks
Setup
npx skills add replicate/skills
Prerequisites
An agent supporting the Agent Skills standard; a Replicate API token for model runs.
