# use-runway-api

Generative video from the vendor developers name first, as a skill set rather than an SDK crawl.

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
npx skills add runwayml/skills --skill use-runway-api
```

## Best for

Producing generated video or image assets from prompts inside an agent workflow.

## Not ideal for

Deterministic or template-driven render — a programmatic renderer is cheaper and repeatable. Requires paid API credits.

## About

Use when generating video, image, audio or character embeds through the Runway API — 17 skills covering setup, API-key handling, compatibility checks, generation and integration.
