 Connect an Agent to Model, Data, and Workflow capabilities with one BeatAPI key.
 Use BeatAPI public references and endpoints; upstream credentials are not needed.
 
+## Fast path
+
+1. Create a key at <https://beatapi.io/dashboard/apikeys>.
+2. Configure it privately in the Agent host, then load this Skill.
+3. Verify the key and dynamically list the models it can call.
+4. Choose only a returned model ID, make the requested call, and return the result.

+Do not hard-code a model catalog from this document. BeatAPI updates the catalog
+independently; the live discovery endpoints are the source of truth.

+## Discover all models
+
+BeatAPI has two execution lifecycles, so its complete model inventory is the
+union of two live endpoints:
+
+| Model type | Discovery | Execution |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Text / LLM | Authenticated `GET https://api.beatapi.io/v1/models` | Synchronous `/v1/responses` or compatibility interface |
+| Image / video | `GET https://api.beatapi.io/v1/media/models` | Asynchronous model task, or Search → Inspect → Run |
+
+When the user asks for every model, read both endpoints and combine their full
+results. Preserve their model types and execution lifecycles; do not present
+the union as one interchangeable protocol. Use live availability fields when
+present, and never infer key access from a marketing page or cached model name.
+
+## Text models: List, choose, call
+
+Use this route when the user explicitly asks to use BeatAPI for text, reasoning,
+coding, analysis, chat, or another language-model task. Do not route ordinary
+conversation to a paid model without that explicit BeatAPI intent.
+
+1. Send the configured Bearer key to `GET https://api.beatapi.io/v1/models`.
+   The OpenAI-compatible response is `{ "object": "list", "data": [...] }`.
+2. Choose only an ID returned in `data`. Match the user's requested model when
+   present; otherwise select from the returned models using the task, required
+   context, latency, quality and cost constraints. Ask only when the choice
+   would materially change the result and the user's preference is unclear.
+3. Prefer `POST https://api.beatapi.io/v1/responses` for new integrations.
+   Send `model`, `input`, and `stream: false` unless the current host explicitly
+   supports streaming. Use `/v1/chat/completions` only for an existing
+   OpenAI Chat Completions integration.
+4. Read the synchronous provider-compatible response and return the requested
+   result. Do not poll the media task endpoint for a text response.
+
+Example request body for the Responses interface:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model": "<id returned by GET /v1/models>",
+  "input": "<the user's requested task>",
+  "stream": false
+}
+```
+
+Never execute placeholders literally or substitute a model name remembered
+from this Skill, a marketing page, or an earlier session. A `401` means the key
+was not accepted; a `404` means the text interface is not enabled in that
+environment. A `402` means the account lacks sufficient balance. Report the
+error and request ID without exposing credentials.
+
 ## Search, Inspect, Run
 
+Use this flow for image/video generation models, Data, and workflows. Text
+models use the authenticated List, choose, call flow above.
