Mida turns a prompt into one or more items on the board. With one `outputTypes` entry the matching generator runs directly; with none, Mida's planner decides what to build, as it does in the editor. `skill` applies a saved skill's instructions and output type. `withImages` lets Mida generate pictures inside the result. Plus and Max only; charged in AI credits. `dryRun` returns an estimate without spending anything.

### Authorization

- `Authorization` (string, required): `Bearer <key>`. The key needs `ai:generate` and `boards:write` scopes. Create and manage keys in the [developer console](/developers/console/); what each scope unlocks is on the [scopes page](/developers/concepts/scopes).

### Path parameters

- `boardId` (string, required)

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string): A unique key per logical request. Replays within 24 hours return the original response.

### Body

- `prompt` (string, required)
- `outputTypes` (enum<string>[])
- `skill` (string): A skill id or slug from GET /skills.
- `withImages` (boolean)
- `model` (string): A text model id from the editor's model picker. Omit for Mida's default.
- `dryRun` (boolean): Defaults to `false`.

### Response

- `dryRun` (boolean)
- `estimate` (object): - `items` (integer)
  - `credits` (integer)
  - `note` (string)
- `credits` (object): - `remaining` (integer)
  - `total` (integer)
- `plan` (string)
- `canGenerate` (boolean)

### Errors

- 402 `plan_limit`: The workspace plan does not allow this, or AI credits are exhausted.
- 429 `rate_limited`: Too many requests.
