Driving Resample Desk from code

Everything the web app does is available over HTTP. The base URL is https://api.skillsafe.ai/v1/app-api, every request carries Authorization: Bearer <token>, and every response is the same envelope.

The `task` field comes first

This app has five lanes behind one endpoint. Every run body must carry a task field naming the lane - it is what the system prompt routes on. Send the wrong one and you get a valid package of the wrong kind; omit it and the model picks the closest lane and tells you which it chose.

One more shape trap: the run body is the input object. Do not wrap it in an {"input": ...} envelope - that returns 200 while hiding task from the model, which is the most confusing way this API can fail.

task Lane Fields Sections returned

plan Decide the rates before the chain exists brief, known Summary, The Sheet, The Rates, Reasoning, Next Step

check What this chain actually does sheet, worry Summary, Verdict, Findings, Corrected Sheet, Next Step

ratios The ratio behind every hop sheet Summary, Every Hop, The Awkward One, What It Costs, Next Step

band What survives the chain sheet Summary, What Each Hop Keeps, The Floor, What Cannot Come Back, Next Step

deliver Decide what changes: a rate, an order, or nothing sheet, fixed Summary, A Different Rate Fixes, Only A Decision Fixes, Nothing Fixes, Next Step

task	Lane	Fields	Sections returned
`plan`	Decide the rates before the chain exists	`brief, known`	Summary, The Sheet, The Rates, Reasoning, Next Step
`check`	What this chain actually does	`sheet, worry`	Summary, Verdict, Findings, Corrected Sheet, Next Step
`ratios`	The ratio behind every hop	`sheet`	Summary, Every Hop, The Awkward One, What It Costs, Next Step
`band`	What survives the chain	`sheet`	Summary, What Each Hop Keeps, The Floor, What Cannot Come Back, Next Step
`deliver`	Decide what changes: a rate, an order, or nothing	`sheet, fixed`	Summary, A Different Rate Fixes, Only A Decision Fixes, Nothing Fixes, Next Step

Only task and the lane's own required fields are mandatory: sheet on check, ratios, band and deliver; brief on plan. Every field is a string - there are no number fields on this app. The sheet is two blocks, CHAIN and STAGES, and the grammar is in /llms.txt and in the free panel on the app itself.

A STAGES row is id | what it is | rate | how | why, in the order the material passes through them. how says how the material got TO this stage and is either resample (the default - it is really converted) or reinterpret (the samples are handed over and nothing is interpolated). The first row's how is unused, because nothing arrived at it. A rate may be written 44100, 44.1k or 48 kHz.

CHAIN takes name, source, quality, ppm and runtime. source is the rate the material was CAPTURED at, which is not always the first stage's rate - a 44.1k bed dropped onto a 48k timeline is a 48k file carrying 44.1k material, and its ceiling was set before the chain began. If it is left out the first stage's rate is assumed and that assumption is reported. quality is the filter length in taps per phase and is the only number on the sheet an implementation could change - every ratio below it is simply what the two rates are. ppm is the clock tolerance and runtime is how long the chain runs; together they decide the drift, and runtime accepts 3600, 45 min or 2 h.

Add $model to any body to choose the model for that run: gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.6-terra (the default) or gpt-5.6-sol. Luna caps output at 4,096 tokens and will fail the check and ratios lanes rather than shorten them - a findings table, a corrected sheet and a row per hop is several thousand characters before the reasoning starts.

The response envelope

Success and failure have the same outer shape, so one check covers both.

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "...": "the result"
  }
}

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "seconds should be number, got string",
    "details": {}
  }
}

HTTP error.code What it means

400 VALIDATION_ERROR The body was not a JSON object, or a declared field had the wrong type. A number field sent as a string is the usual cause.

401 UNAUTHORIZED No token, or a token that has expired or been revoked. Mint a new one.

402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS The balance is below the run's minimum. Call /estimate first and compare hold_credits against /me.

404 NOT_FOUND Wrong path, or a job id that does not belong to this token.

409 CONFLICT An Idempotency-Key replay whose body differs from the original request.

429 RATE_LIMITED Too many requests. Back off; do not tight-loop.

503 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE The model provider is unavailable. Retry with backoff.

1. Get a token

Open /tokens.html in a browser and copy the token this app already holds - no developer console needed. A guest token is minted automatically and is enough for /me and /estimate; writing a package is metered and needs a personal token, which comes from signing in on that page.

Keep it in an environment variable rather than in source:

export SKILLSAFE_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"

2. Check the session and the balance

GET /me is free. It returns only three fields: subject_type, subject_id and credits. Signed-in means subject_type == "user" - there is no username or email to test.

3. Price the run before making it

POST /estimate costs nothing, creates no job, and returns the worst-case cost. Compare hold_credits against the balance from step 2 before you submit: a 402 after the fact is avoidable. hold_credits is a reservation priced at the full output cap - the actual charge is usually far lower.

It also echoes model, model_alias and markup_bps, which is the authoritative check that a run is bound to the model you think it is. Estimate each lane separately: their prompts and caps differ, so their holds do.

4. Write a package

POST /run submits the job. Always send an Idempotency-Key: a network blip that replays the same request must not bill twice. A replay with the same key returns the stored result and is not charged again; a replay with the same key but a different body is a 409.

The response carries output.output (the Markdown package), charged_credits and truncated. If truncated is true the balance sat between min_credits and hold_credits and the output was cut short - render what arrived and say so rather than presenting it as complete.

5. Stream a run

POST /run-stream is the same call with a text/event-stream response. Worth knowing before you build on it: from a server or from cURL you get event: delta frames carrying the output token by token; from a browser you get event: tick heartbeats and then one event: done with the whole output. Handle both, and treat ticks as liveness rather than progress.

Frame types are job (the job id), delta ({"text": "..."}), tick ({"t": seconds}), done, and error. An idempotent replay returns plain JSON with no stream at all, so check the content type before you start reading frames.

6. Read the result

output.output is Markdown in the envelope this app's system prompt guarantees: every section is a level-two heading spelled exactly as listed in the lane table above, in that order; tables are GitHub pipe tables with the declared columns; prompts are in fenced blocks opened with three backticks and the word text; checklists are - [x] lines.

So parsing is a split on /^## / - but do it fence-aware, because a prompt block can legitimately contain a line starting with ##. Count the sections you got against the ones the lane declares: a short list means the run was truncated, not that the contract changed.

def sections(md):
    out, name, buf, fence = {}, None, [], False
    for line in md.split("\n"):
        if line.lstrip().startswith("```"):
            fence = not fence
        if not fence and line.startswith("## "):
            if name:
                out[name] = "\n".join(buf).strip()
            name, buf = line[3:].strip(), []
            continue
        if name:
            buf.append(line)
    if name:
        out[name] = "\n".join(buf).strip()
    return out

The artifact most callers want is the fenced json block inside ## Beats File or ## Repaired File - that is the file the assembly runs from, and it is valid JSON on its own. The text blocks under ## Poster Prompt and ## Motion Prompt are what you paste into an image or video model.

Rate limits and good manners

/estimate and /me are free. Call them as much as you like, within reason.
A 429 means back off with a delay, not retry immediately.
Send an Idempotency-Key on every /run. Derive it from a hash of the body plus an attempt counter, so a retry of the same request reuses the key and a deliberate re-run gets a new one.
The engine in the web app is client-side only and has no endpoint. What it computes is published in full in llms.txt - the ratio is out/in divided by gcd(out, in), the cycle is its denominator, the filter phases are its numerator, the coefficient table is taps × phases, and a rate handed over rather than converted shifts pitch by 1200 × log2(out/in) cents while scaling duration by in/out - so you can compute every figure this app produces in your own pipeline without it. It is arithmetic on rates somebody typed in: it has not heard anything, a long cycle is expensive rather than audible, the cost figures assume a polyphase FIR, bandwidth is a ceiling on what can be present rather than a measure of quality, and bit depth, dither and level are not modelled at all. Every hop with its ratio in lowest terms, its cycle, its filter phases, its coefficient table, the multiplies a second it costs and the bandwidth on either side of it - plus the chain's band floor, its net pitch shift and its clock drift - are all sent with every run as prescan, and the system prompt requires answering them.
