wavespeed

Generate and edit images and videos using WaveSpeed AI's 700+ model library. Use when the user wants to generate images from text prompts (FLUX, Seedream, Qwen), edit or retouch photos (nano-banana-pro/edit keeps faces identical while changing clothes/background), generate videos from images or text (Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan, Hailuo), or upscale videos to 4K. Triggers include: generate an image, edit this photo, change the background, swap the outfit, make a video from this image, animate this photo, upscale this video, use WaveSpeed, use nano banana pro.

# WaveSpeed AI

700+ AI models (Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Kling, Luma) via one API. Images in <2s, videos in <2min.

## API Key — check in this order

1. **`WAVESPEED_API_KEY` env var** — already set in all Clawster containers, just use it directly
2. `TOOLS.md` in the workspace — look for `WaveSpeed AI` section
3. Ask the user

**Never search for the key** — if `WAVESPEED_API_KEY` is in the environment, it's ready to go. Check with:
```bash
echo $WAVESPEED_API_KEY
```

### Get your API key

Sign up at **[wavespeed.ai](https://wavespeedai.pxf.io/3kPoRd)** → Dashboard → API Keys.  
New accounts get free credits. Pay-as-you-go pricing — no subscription required.

```bash
export WAVESPEED_API_KEY=your_key_here
```

The skill script is at `skills/wavespeed/scripts/wavespeed.js`.

## Usage

```bash
# Image generation
node wavespeed.js generate --model flux --prompt "sunset over mountains" --output out.png
node wavespeed.js generate --model seedream --prompt "..." --size 1024x1024

# Image editing (face/portrait-safe — preserves identity)
node wavespeed.js edit --model nbp --prompt "change bathrobe to black hoodie, dark background" \
  --image https://example.com/photo.jpg --output result.png

# Video from image
node wavespeed.js video --model wan-i2v --prompt "slow cinematic zoom" \
  --image https://example.com/frame.jpg --output clip.mp4

# List all aliases
node wavespeed.js models

# Check task status
node wavespeed.js status --id task_abc123
```

## Key Models (Quick Reference)

| Task | Alias | Best for |
|------|-------|---------|
| Edit photo keeping face | `nbp` | Portrait retouching, outfit/bg change |
| Fast image gen | `flux-schnell` | Drafts, quick tests |
| Best image quality | `flux-pro` / `seedream` | Final outputs |
| Image → Video | `wan-i2v` | Fast, affordable |
| Premium video | `kling` / `veo` | Cinematic quality |
| Text → Video | `sora` / `veo` | Story videos |

See `references/models.md` for full model list with IDs, params, and pricing.

## Important Notes

- **Image editing** (`nbp`, `nb-edit`): always pass images as `images: [url]` array — this is required
- **Face preservation**: `google/nano-banana-pro/edit` is the best model for editing photos while keeping the person's face identical
- Output files are saved to current directory by default; use `--output` to specify path
- Videos can take 2-5 minutes; script auto-polls with progress indicator
- For multiple input images (multi-reference editing), use `--images url1,url2`

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

3891

from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
