Overview
Authenticate to the Venice API with a Bearer API key or with an x402 / SIWX wallet (EVM on Base, including EIP-1271 smart wallets, or Ed25519 on Solana). Covers which endpoints accept which scheme, the SIGN-IN-WITH-X header format, the SIWE and Solana message fields, the enforced TTL / clock-skew / nonce rules, every X402_SIGN_IN_* error code, the venice-x402-client SDK, and how to choose between the two modes.
Detailed guide coming soon. We haven't written a full guide for this skill yet.

Skill venice-api-keys
Manage Venice API keys. Covers GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api_keys, GET /api_keys/{id}, GET /api_keys/rate_limits, GET /api_keys/rate_limits/log, the two-step /api_keys/generate_web3_key wallet flow, INFERENCE vs ADMIN key types, per-key consumption limits (USD / DIEM) with EPOCH / MONTH / LIFETIME reset windows, and per-key modelPrivacy (ALL / PRIVATE_TEXT / PRIVATE_ONLY).
Skill venice-api-overview
High-level map of the Venice.ai API - base URL, which auth mode each endpoint accepts (API key, x402 wallet, or none), endpoint categories (including decisions, voice changer, and retired routes), response headers (rate limit, balance, deprecation, x402), pricing model, error shape, and versioning. Load this first when starting any Venice integration.
Skill venice-characters
Discover and use Venice public characters (persona-driven system prompts with a suggested model). Covers GET /characters (search/filter/sort/paginate), /characters/{slug}, /characters/{slug}/reviews, the Character and Review schemas, Bearer-API-key-only auth, filter semantics (adult, pro, modelId), and how to apply a character via venice_parameters.character_slug in chat completions.
Skill venice-embeddings
Call POST /embeddings on Venice. Covers request shape (input, model, encoding_format, dimensions, user), text-only input (token arrays rejected), per-input and batch limits, per-model dimensions/privacy, the text-embedding-ada-002 alias, API-key privacy gating, OpenAI/LangChain compatibility, response compression (gzip/br), and practical usage for retrieval, clustering, and RAG.
Skill executing-plans
Use when executing an implementation plan in the current session as the implementer yourself — your human partner chose inline execution, or no subagent tool is available
Skill verification-before-completion
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
