Text Styler Skill

Overview

Text Styler maps `text` through one of the transformation functions in the @viper-x/fancytext library, selected by `style`. The style name is matched case-insensitively, and values outside the documented list are rejected with a 400 error before any styling runs. The twenty accepted values are strikeThrough, tildeStrikeThrough, slashThrough, underline, doubleUnderline, crossAboveBelow, arrowBelow, heartsBetween, creepify, wingdings, vaporwave, typewriter, analucia, sparrow, bubbles, squares, roundsquares, mirror, flip and tiny.

The styles fall into two groups. Substitution styles such as bubbles, squares, roundsquares, tiny, vaporwave, typewriter, sparrow, analucia and wingdings replace each supported character with a look-alike from another Unicode block, so characters without a mapping, usually digits or punctuation in some styles, pass through unchanged. Combining styles such as strikeThrough, underline, doubleUnderline, slashThrough, arrowBelow and crossAboveBelow keep the original characters and add a combining mark after every one of them, spaces included, while creepify stacks random combining marks above and below letters, and heartsBetween inserts a ♥ between every pair of characters.

The output in `text` is plain Unicode. Its length in characters is usually longer than the input, especially for combining styles, so check any character limits on the platform you post to. Screen readers may read substituted characters by their Unicode names, which matters for accessibility. Rendering depends on the reader's fonts: combining marks can stack differently across platforms.

`style` echoes the style value you sent and is null on the Free plan; `text` is returned on every plan.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as TextStylerSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

{
  "name": "TextStylerSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "text": "hello world",
    "style": "bubbles"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about hello world in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for TextStylerSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

    "text": "Ⓣⓗⓘⓢ ⓘⓢ ⓐ ⓥⓔⓡⓨ ⓢⓣⓨⓛⓘⓢⓗ ⓟⓘⓔⓒⓔ ⓞⓕ ⓣⓔⓧⓣ"
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

A call costs 1 credit each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Social media schedulers convert regular draft copy into bubble or underlined text to make promotional headlines stand out in feeds.
