info
The following is the complete skill definition that Hermes loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active.
inference.sh CLI
Run 150+ AI apps in the cloud with a simple CLI. No GPU required.
All commands use the terminal tool to run infsh commands.
When to Use
- User asks to generate images (FLUX, Reve, Seedream, Grok, Gemini image)
- User asks to generate video (Veo, Wan, Seedance, OmniHuman)
- User asks about inference.sh or infsh
- User wants to run AI apps without managing individual provider APIs
- User asks for AI-powered search (Tavily, Exa)
- User needs avatar/lipsync generation
Prerequisites
The infsh CLI must be installed and authenticated. Check with:
infsh me
If not installed:
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh
infsh login
See references/authentication.md for full setup details.
Workflow
1. Always Search First
Never guess app names — always search to find the correct app ID:
infsh app list --search flux
infsh app list --search video
infsh app list --search image
2. Run an App
Use the exact app ID from the search results. Always use --json for machine-readable output:
infsh app run <app-id> --input '{"prompt": "your prompt here"}' --json
3. Parse the Output
The JSON output contains URLs to generated media. Present these to the user with MEDIA:<url> for inline display.
Common Commands
Image Generation
# Search for image apps
infsh app list --search image
# FLUX Dev with LoRA
infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "sunset over mountains", "num_images": 1}' --json
# Gemini image generation
infsh app run google/gemini-2-5-flash-image --input '{"prompt": "futuristic city", "num_images": 1}' --json
# Seedream (ByteDance)
infsh app run bytedance/seedream-5-lite --input '{"prompt": "nature scene"}' --json
# Grok Imagine (xAI)
infsh app run xai/grok-imagine-image --input '{"prompt": "abstract art"}' --json
Video Generation
# Search for video apps
infsh app list --search video
# Veo 3.1 (Google)
infsh app run google/veo-3-1-fast --input '{"prompt": "drone shot of coastline"}' --json
# Seedance (ByteDance)
infsh app run bytedance/seedance-1-5-pro --input '{"prompt": "dancing figure", "resolution": "1080p"}' --json
# Wan 2.5
infsh app run falai/wan-2-5 --input '{"prompt": "person walking through city"}' --json
Local File Uploads
The CLI automatically uploads local files when you provide a path:
# Upscale a local image
infsh app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image": "/path/to/photo.jpg", "upscale_factor": 2}' --json
# Image-to-video from local file
infsh app run falai/wan-2-5-i2v --input '{"image": "/path/to/image.png", "prompt": "make it move"}' --json
# Avatar with audio
infsh app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{"audio": "/path/to/audio.mp3", "image": "/path/to/face.jpg"}' --json
Search & Research
infsh app list --search search
infsh app run tavily/tavily-search --input '{"query": "latest AI news"}' --json
infsh app run exa/exa-search --input '{"query": "machine learning papers"}' --json
Other Categories
# 3D generation
infsh app list --search 3d
# Audio / TTS
infsh app list --search tts
# Twitter/X automation
infsh app list --search twitter
Pitfalls
- Never guess app IDs — always run
infsh app list --search <term>first. App IDs change and new apps are added frequently. - Always use
--json— raw output is hard to parse. The--jsonflag gives structured output with URLs. - Check authentication — if commands fail with auth errors, run
infsh loginor verifyINFSH_API_KEYis set. - Long-running apps — video generation can take 30-120 seconds. The terminal tool timeout should be sufficient, but warn the user it may take a moment.
- Input format — the
--inputflag takes a JSON string. Make sure to properly escape quotes.
