Moderator Actions

Take moderator actions on Civitai users including banning, muting, removing content, managing leaderboard eligibility, and sending direct messages.

This skill uses the Civitai tRPC API with API key authentication, ensuring all actions go through the proper service layer with full side effects (session invalidation, search index updates, activity tracking, etc.).

Setup

• Copy .env-example to .env in this skill directory

• Add your Civitai API key (must belong to a moderator account)

• Optionally set the API URL (defaults to production)

cp .claude/skills/mod-actions/.env.example .claude/skills/mod-actions/.env

Edit .env and add your API key

Get your API key from: https://civitai.com/user/account (API Keys section)

Important: The API key must belong to a user with moderator privileges.

How It Works

This skill calls the Civitai tRPC API endpoints:

• user.getById / user.getCreator

• User lookups

• user.toggleBan

• Ban/unban users

• user.toggleMute

• Mute/unmute users

• user.setLeaderboardEligibility

• Manage leaderboard access

• user.removeAllContent

• Remove all user content

Authentication is via Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

All endpoints require moderatorProcedure access, meaning the API key must belong to a moderator account.

When to Use

• Investigating violations: Look up user info before taking action

• Repeat offenders: Ban users who repeatedly violate ToS

• Temporary restrictions: Mute users for minor violations

• Leaderboard manipulation: Exclude cheaters from leaderboards

• Content violations: Remove all content from severe violators

Safety Notes

• Always use --dry-run first for destructive actions

• All actions are logged in the ModActivity table

• Ban actions invalidate user sessions immediately

• Universal bans unpublish all user content and cancel subscriptions

• Document reasons with --reason and --message flags

• API key must have moderator privileges

Tips

• Always look up user info first to confirm the right user

• Use --dry-run for destructive actions like bans and content removal

• Document reasons with --reason , --message , and --internal flags

• Use --json for scripting or piping to other tools

• Set CIVITAI_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 for local development
