SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding and downloading AI models from Civitai requires manual browsing and clicking through the website. This Skill lets you search models, inspect versions, list images, and download model files directly via the Civitai REST API using curl. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Model Search & Details: Query models by keyword, fetch model details, and retrieve specific model version metadata via the v1 REST API. - Direct Downloads: Download .safetensors checkpoint and LoRA files with authenticated curl requests for use in local tools like ComfyUI or Automatic1111. - Use Case: You want a specific LoRA for local image generation. Search the API for the model, get its version ID, download the .safetensors file, and load it into ComfyUI with its trigger word. ## Quick Start Set the CIVITAI_API_KEY environment variable and ask the AI to search Civitai for a model and download it for local use.
