ZSky skills for Claude Code and Codex
Create images and short videos with ZSky from your coding
agent. Ask for product photos, a YouTube thumbnail, an ad set in every social
format, or a short clip; the agent plans the shots, generates them on your ZSky
account, checks each result, and saves the files in your workspace.
Skills
| Skill | Ask for |
|---|
zsky | Any image: illustration, concept art, wallpaper, scene. Also usage questions and deleting outputs |
zsky-product-photos | Studio packshots, lifestyle scenes, flat lays, hero banners, seasonal sets, and staged backdrops for your own product cutout |
zsky-thumbnails | YouTube thumbnails, podcast and video covers, blog headers and social cards with a crisp, correctly spelled headline |
zsky-ad-creatives | One ad concept as a matched set for feed, stories, pins, LinkedIn, X and display, with your exact copy |
zsky-short-videos | 1 to 10 second clips, animated ZSky images, b-roll, in fast, quality or cinematic mode |
Skills load on their own when a request matches. You can also name one, for
example /zsky:zsky-thumbnails in Claude Code or $zsky:zsky-thumbnails in Codex.
Install
The plugin connects to ZSky's hosted MCP server, https://mcp.zsky.ai/mcp.
There is nothing else to install and no API key: you sign in once in your
coding client.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add zsky-ai/skills
/plugin install zsky@zsky
Restart Claude Code, run /mcp, choose plugin:zsky:zsky and authenticate.
ZSky's sign-in opens in your browser.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add zsky-ai/skills
codex plugin add zsky@zsky
codex mcp login zsky
Then start a new Codex session. Full steps, checks and updates:
INSTALL.md. Agents installing this for a user:
INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md.
Prefer an API key? The optional local ZSky MCP package still works with these
skills; see INSTALL.md.
Requirements
A paid ZSky account: Pro, Max, or a prepaid API balance. Free accounts cannot
connect. See zsky.ai/api-mcp for how access works.
Generations use your account's included allowance or are billed to your
account at ZSky's live rates. The skills read those rates with zsky_usage,
quote the cost before large batches and before every video, and wait for your
yes.
What works where

What is sent where
- To ZSky (
mcp.zsky.ai and zsky.ai): your prompts and generation
settings. Sign-in happens on ZSky in your browser, and your coding client
keeps the connection. With the optional local package, a photo of yours
that you animate is also sent.
- From ZSky: links to the finished files, valid for up to 24 hours. The
skills download them into
zsky-output/ in your workspace.
- Stays on your machine: headline overlays, crops, compositing and contact
sheets run locally (
scripts/zsky_media.py) and send nothing anywhere.
- This plugin has no telemetry of its own. ZSky's handling of your data is
described in its privacy policy. Disconnect any
time at zsky.ai/connected-apps.
Every request passes ZSky's content-safety checks. A blocked request is final;
the skills never try to rephrase around it.
