Windsurf shipped Cascade Skills in Wave 13 (January 2026), and the spec is the same single-file markdown convention Anthropic and Cursor adopted. Gathos plugs in as a Cascade Skill so the agent can generate thumbnails, product shots, voiceover, and dubbed videos without you leaving the editor.
curl -sL https://gathos.com/install.sh | bash && echo "Reload Windsurf"
Each is a single curl command. Install one, install all five.
The job: you run a YouTube channel and you need a fresh thumbnail for every video. Stock-photo subscriptions and Midjourney cost money per image. Gathos gives you unlimited generation at a flat $18/month, plus it can actually render readable text inside the image.
Small Shopify stores spend $200 to $1,500 per SKU on photography. With Gathos you upload one reference shot, describe the scene, and get 20 clean variants: flatlay, on-model, lifestyle, seasonal. $18/month flat, no per-image cost.
Loom videos are the backbone of remote teams. The one thing that kills them: you cannot re-record when you want to tweak the script, and you cannot ship them in Spanish or Hindi without a second take. Gathos clones your voice from a 30-second sample and speaks any script in 600+ languages.
You have a 10-minute video in English. You want Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese versions without hiring three voice actors and a translator. Upload it to Gathos: the skill transcribes, translates, re-reads the translation in your cloned voice, and re-aligns to your on-screen timing.
Every podcast episode is a month of social content if you chop it right. The chopping is the hard part. Gathos bundles the whole pipeline: transcript, highlight picking, vertical reframe, caption burn-in, cover art generation, and a 60-second trailer narrated in your voice.
GitHub Copilot supports custom agents and MCP servers in 2026, which means Gathos can be wired in as a callable tool inside any IDE that ships Copilot. The setup is one curl line and one config entry.
Custom ChatGPT GPTs support Actions, which are HTTPS-callable tools the GPT can invoke during a conversation. Gathos exposes a clean OpenAPI schema so wiring it as an Action takes about ten minutes.
Continue is the open-source alternative to Cursor, focused on developer control and self-hosting. It supports custom slash commands and tools through a clean config. Gathos plugs in as a callable tool so the agent can generate assets from the same editor session.
Aider is a terminal-first pair programmer that has stayed lean and fast. It does not ship with image generation or TTS, and the popular pattern is to bolt those on as external commands. Gathos slots in as a Bash-callable tool so an Aider session can generate assets without leaving the terminal.
Claude Code is the fastest-growing agent for power users. Gathos is the unified image + TTS API that plugs into Claude Code with a single install command. This page shows the install, a sample session, and the pre-built skills most teams install first.
Gemini CLI's Skills spec went GA in early 2026 · same single-file markdown convention Anthropic and Codeium adopted. Gathos installs as a Gemini CLI skill so the agent can generate images and voiceover from any terminal session.
Cursor is where millions of developers write code every day. Gathos plugs into Cursor as a set of agent-callable skills · you describe what you want in a chat message, Cursor runs the API, and the output lands in your project folder. Flat $18/month.
