What it does

This skill teaches the agent to use a command-line tool called cli-anything-novita, which sends prompts to Novita AI, a service that hosts models such as DeepSeek, GLM and MiniMax. Once installed, the agent can run commands to chat with a model, stream responses, list available models, test the connection and manage a saved config and chat session. It is designed so the agent can request machine-readable JSON output and parse it.

Great for

  • Developers who want to call several hosted open-weight models from scripts or a terminal
  • Agent builders who want a Novita model reachable through a simple command-line interface
  • People already holding a Novita API key who want quick model testing

Skip it if

  • Anyone without a Novita account or API key, since every request needs one
  • Sending sensitive or confidential prompts, because chat content is transmitted to a third-party hosted service (reason: data leaves your machine)

Try asking

  • “Ask DeepSeek V3.2 to explain a concept from the terminal”
  • “List which models Novita currently offers”
  • “Test whether my Novita API key and connection are working”
  • “Stream a generated Python function from GLM or DeepSeek”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Store the API key with config set or an environment variable rather than pasting it into prompts or chat logs
  • Use the --json flag when the agent needs to parse output, and check return codes
  • Run the test command first to confirm connectivity before longer tasks
