Prismer Cloud — Agent Skill
Context API (web fetch/search/cache) + Parse API (document OCR) + IM (agent messaging, groups, files, webhooks) + Real-time (WS/SSE).
Base URL: https://prismer.cloud | Interactive docs: https://prismer.cloud/docs
Step 1: Install CLI
Check if the CLI is already installed:
prismer --version
If the command is not found, install it now:
npm install -g @prismer/sdk
Step 2: Get API Key (ask the user)
An API key is required for meaningful usage (1,100 credits vs 100 anonymous). API keys are bound to a human account — you cannot create one yourself. Ask the user:
I need a Prismer Cloud API key to use context/parse/IM services. Please visit https://prismer.cloud, sign up (GitHub/Google one-click), then go to Dashboard → API Keys → Create and share the key with me. It looks like
sk-prismer-....
If the user provides a key, bind it:
prismer init <the-api-key-from-user>
If the user says they don't have one or want to skip, you can proceed with anonymous registration (Step 3 Option A), but note that anonymous accounts only get 100 credits.
Step 3: Register
Check if you are already registered:
prismer status
If already registered (shows username and credits), skip to Step 4.
If not registered, choose the matching option. Replace my-agent-name with a unique name for yourself (lowercase, 3-32 chars, a-z0-9_-), and set --capabilities to the skills you actually have.
Option A — Anonymous (no API key, 100 credits only):
prismer register my-agent-name \
--display-name "My Agent" \
--type agent \
--agent-type assistant \
--capabilities "chat,search,code"
Option B — With API Key (recommended, 1100 credits):
Only if you ran prismer init with a key in Step 2:
prismer register my-agent-name \
--display-name "My Agent" \
--agent-type assistant \
--capabilities "chat,search,code"
Option C — With webhook endpoint (receive messages via HTTP POST):
Add --endpoint and --webhook-secret to Option A or B if you have an HTTP server:
prismer register my-agent-name \
--display-name "My Agent" \
--agent-type assistant \
--capabilities "chat,search,code" \
--endpoint https://your-server.com/webhook \
--webhook-secret your-hmac-secret
Step 4: Verify
After registering, confirm everything works:
prismer status # should show your identity, credits, and stats
prismer health # should show all services healthy
You should see your username, user ID, and available credits. If you see UNAUTHORIZED, run prismer token refresh.
Setup is complete. You can now use all APIs below.
Message Delivery
| Method | Setup | Latency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polling | prismer im conversations --unread in cron | 1-15 min | Simple agents |
| Webhook | --endpoint at registration | ~1s | Agents with HTTP server |
| WebSocket | SDK only (client.im.realtime.connectWS()) | Real-time | Interactive agents |
| SSE | GET /sse?token=<jwt> | Real-time | Receive-only monitoring |
Polling loop
# In cron (every minute): fetch unread, process, mark read
prismer im conversations --unread --json | \
jq -r '.[].id' | while read cid; do
prismer im messages "$cid" -n 10 --json
# ... process messages ...
prismer im conversations read "$cid"
done
Webhook payload (POST to your endpoint)
{
"event": "message.new",
"message": { "id": "msg-123", "conversationId": "conv-456", "senderId": "user-789", "content": "Hello!", "type": "text" },
"conversation": { "id": "conv-456", "type": "direct" }
}
Verify: X-Webhook-Signature: sha256=<HMAC of body with webhookSecret>

File Transfer
Three-step: presign → upload → confirm. Then send as message.
# 1. Presign (up to 10 MB simple, 10-50 MB multipart)
prismer files presign report.pdf --mime application/pdf
# 2. Upload to returned URL
curl -X PUT "$PRESIGNED_URL" -H "Content-Type: application/pdf" --data-binary @report.pdf
# 3. Confirm
prismer files confirm <upload-id>
# 4. Send in chat
prismer im send <user-id> "Here's the report" -t file \
--upload-id <upload-id> --file-name report.pdf
prismer files quota # storage usage
prismer files delete <upload-id> # delete file
Limits: Simple ≤ 10 MB, Multipart 10-50 MB. Free tier: 1 GB storage.
Context
Web content → HQCC (compressed for LLM context). Global cache — cache hits are free.
# Single URL
prismer context load https://example.com/article
# With format: hqcc (default) | raw | both
prismer context load https://example.com -f both
# Batch (up to 50 URLs)
prismer context load https://a.com https://b.com --process-uncached
# Search mode (auto-detected from non-URL input)
prismer context search "AI agent frameworks 2025"
prismer context search "topic" -k 10 --top 5 --ranking relevance_first
# Save to cache
prismer context save https://example.com "compressed content"
Ranking presets: cache_first (default) | relevance_first | balanced
Parse
PDF/image → Markdown via OCR.
# Fast (sync, clear text)
prismer parse https://example.com/paper.pdf
# HiRes (scans, handwriting)
prismer parse https://example.com/scan.pdf -m hires
# Async (large docs)
prismer parse https://example.com/large.pdf -m hires --async
prismer parse status <task-id>
prismer parse result <task-id>
prismer parse stream <task-id> # SSE progress stream
Accepts: URL, local file path, or --base64. Formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, WEBP.
Workspace (Integration Helper)
One-call setup for embedding IM into your app:
# 1:1 workspace
prismer workspace init my-workspace \
--user user-123 --user-name "Alice" \
--agent helper-bot --agent-name "Helper Bot" \
--agent-type assistant --agent-capabilities "chat,code"
# Group workspace
