Kling AI Skill Pack

30 production-ready skills for Kling AI -- the leading AI video generation platform by Kuaishou Technology. Covers the full API surface: text-to-video, image-to-video, video extension, lip sync, effects, camera control, motion brush, virtual try-on, and Kolors image generation.

API Base URL: https://api.klingai.com/v1 Auth: JWT tokens from Access Key (AK) + Secret Key (SK), 30-minute expiry, HS256 signing.

One-Pager

The Problem

Kling AI's API uses JWT authentication (not simple API keys), has async task-based generation (submit, poll, download), temporary CDN URLs that expire, mutually exclusive feature sets for image-to-video, and model versions with different capability matrices. Getting all of this right requires reading across fragmented docs and multiple community examples.

The Solution

30 Claude Code skills with real Kling AI API endpoints, real request/response shapes, real Python and Node.js code, real error codes, and real cost calculations. Every skill uses the actual https://api.klingai.com/v1 base URL and actual JWT authentication patterns. No placeholder code.

Stack

| Component | Technology | |-----------|-----------| | API | REST over HTTPS, JWT auth (HS256) | | Models | kling-v1 through kling-v2-6, Kolors v1.5-v2.1 | | Languages | Python 3.8+ (PyJWT, requests), Node.js 18+ (jsonwebtoken) | | Features | T2V, I2V, video extend, lip sync, effects, camera control, motion brush, virtual try-on | | Pricing | Credit-based: 10 credits/5s standard, 35 credits/5s professional |

Key Differentiators

• Real JWT auth code -- not "set your API key" placeholder, but actual jwt.encode() with correct headers, payload, and auto-refresh
• Actual API endpoints -- every skill uses https://api.klingai.com/v1/videos/text2video, /image2video, /video-extend, /effects, /lip-sync
• Complete task lifecycle -- submit, poll with adaptive backoff, handle succeed/failed states, download, store
• Cost-aware -- credit calculations for every model/mode/duration combo including the 5x audio multiplier
• Production patterns -- connection pooling, rate limiting, budget guards, batch queues, webhook fallback
