RESEARCH=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"search\", \"inputs\": {\"query\": \"$TOPIC latest developments\"}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" \ | jq -r '.result') # Step 2: Write article echo "Writing article..." ARTICLE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"chat\", \"inputs\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Write a 500-word blog post about $TOPIC based on: $RESEARCH\"}]}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" \ | jq -r '.result.choices[0].message.content') # Step 3: Generate image echo "Generating image..." IMAGE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"image\", \"inputs\": {\"prompt\": \"Blog header image for article about $TOPIC, modern, professional\"}, \"prefer\": \"quality\"}" \ | jq -r '.result.image_url') # Step 4: Generate social post echo "Creating social post..." SOCIAL=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"chat\", \"inputs\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Write a Twitter thread (5 tweets) summarizing: $ARTICLE\"}]}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" \ | jq -r '.result.choices[0].message.content') echo "Pipeline complete!" ``` ### Pattern 3: Parallel Processing Run multiple operations simultaneously. ```bash #!/bin/bash # parallel_generation.sh - Generate multiple assets in parallel # Start all jobs in background curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "image", "inputs": {"prompt": "Hero image..."}, "prefer": "quality"}' \ > hero.json & PID1=$! curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "image", "inputs": {"prompt": "Feature image 1..."}, "prefer": "quality"}' \ > feature1.json & PID2=$! curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "image", "inputs": {"prompt": "Feature image 2..."}, "prefer": "quality"}' \ > feature2.json & PID3=$! # Wait for all to complete wait $PID1 $PID2 $PID3 echo "All images generated!" ``` ### Pattern 4: Conditional Workflow Branch based on results. ```bash #!/bin/bash # conditional_workflow.sh - Process based on content analysis INPUT_TEXT="$1" # Analyze content ANALYSIS=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"chat\", \"inputs\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Classify this text as: positive, negative, or neutral. Return only the classification.\n\n$INPUT_TEXT\"}]}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" \ | jq -r '.result.choices[0].message.content') # Branch based on result case "$ANALYSIS" in *positive*) echo "Generating celebration image..." curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "image", "inputs": {"prompt": "Celebration, success, happy"}, "prefer": "quality"}' ;; *negative*) echo "Generating supportive message..." curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"chat\", \"inputs\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Write a supportive, encouraging response to: $INPUT_TEXT\"}]}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" \ | jq -r '.data.result.choices[0].message.content' ;; *) echo "Generating neutral acknowledgment..." ;; esac ``` ### Pattern 5: Retry with Fallback Handle failures gracefully. ```bash #!/bin/bash # retry_workflow.sh - Retry failed operations generate_with_retry() { local prompt="$1" local max_attempts=3 local attempt=1 while [ $attempt -le $max_attempts ]; do echo "Attempt $attempt..." result=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"image\", \"inputs\": {\"prompt\": \"$prompt\"}, \"prefer\": \"quality\"}" 2>&1) if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "$result" return 0 fi echo "Failed, retrying..." ((attempt++)) sleep $((attempt * 2)) # Exponential backoff done # Fallback with different preference echo "Falling back with balanced preference..." curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"type\": \"image\", \"inputs\": {\"prompt\": \"$prompt\"}, \"prefer\": \"balanced\"}" } generate_with_retry "A beautiful sunset over mountains" ``` ## Scheduled Automation ### Cron Job Setup ```bash # Edit crontab crontab -e # Daily content generation at 9 AM 0 9 * * * /path/to/daily_content.sh >> /var/log/ai-automation.log 2>&1 # Weekly report every Monday at 8 AM 0 8 * * 1 /path/to/weekly_report.sh >> /var/log/ai-automation.log 2>&1 # Every 6 hours: social media content 0 */6 * * * /path/to/social_content.sh >> /var/log/ai-automation.log 2>&1 ``` ### Daily Content Script ```bash #!/bin/bash # daily_content.sh - Run daily at 9 AM DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) OUTPUT_DIR="/output/$DATE" mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR" # Generate daily quote image curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "image", "inputs": {"prompt": "Motivational quote background, minimalist, morning vibes"}, "prefer": "quality"}' \ > "$OUTPUT_DIR/quote_image.json" # Generate daily tip curl -s -X POST "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"type": "chat", "inputs": {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Give me one actionable productivity tip for today.
