Multix media analysis and generation

Analyze, transcribe, OCR, extract, convert, and generate images, audio, video, and documents through the npm-latest Multix CLI with live provider catalogs.

01

Check environment

02

Warm latest CLI

03

Verify setup

04

Choose modality

Rule 01

The npm-latest Multix CLI is the runtime contract for covered media operations.

Rule 02

Provider catalogs own model IDs, availability, pricing, limits, and deprecations.

Rule 03

Environment failures are blockers to report, not reasons to recreate a parallel backend.

Rule 04

Resolve limits before execution and split media deliberately when needed.

Execution Map

Core lanes from input to output, aligned with the command's real execution path.

01

Start

Input, scope, route

  1. 1 Check environment Require Node.js 20+, provider keys in env, project .env, or ~/.multix/.env, plus FFmpeg or provider access when the operation needs them.
  2. 2 Warm latest CLI Use the documented npx --prefer-online @mrgoonie/multix@latest invocation so commands resolve npm's current release rather than a stale global binary.
02

Work

Agent / skill execution

  1. 3 Verify setup Run multix check --verbose and treat missing keys, billing, quota, FFmpeg, or provider access as environment blockers.
  2. 4 Choose modality Select the stable workflow: Gemini analyze, transcribe, extract, doc convert, image generation, video generation, MiniMax speech/music, or media optimization.
03

Verify

Gate, review, validation

  1. 5 Resolve controls Run the relevant command help and provider docs to confirm file limits, formats, duration, aspect ratio, resolution, pricing, retention, and model support.
  2. 6 Run operation Execute Multix with explicit files or prompts and explicit output paths, using markdown for transcripts and JSON when structured extraction is requested.
04

Close

Report, handoff, artifact

  1. 7 Handle limits When input or output exceeds verified limits, split media with ffmpeg or resolved Multix media commands, process segments, then combine results.
  2. 8 Organize outputs Invoke project organization when generated assets need to be grouped by project, campaign, report, or deliverable folder.

Sample Prompt

Concrete invocations for each flag, subcommand, mode, or route available in the live workflow.
