Video & Animation

Use for any question about a codebase, its architecture, file relationships, or project content — especially when graphify-out/ exists, where the question should be treated as a graphify query first. Turns any input (code, docs, papers, images, videos) into a persistent knowledge graph with god nodes, community detection, and query/path/explain tools.

Use this skill when loading 3D models into melonJS — glTF and GLB scenes, OBJ/MTL models, materials, imported lights, node animation, ground shadows and GPU instancing. Covers level.load options including the async flag, the rightHanded conversion, and exactly what the loader does and does not support. Triggers on: glTF, gltf, glb, OBJ, MTL, 3D model, getGLTF, getOBJ, getMTL, GLTFModel, GLTFScene, level.load glb, rightHanded, lightIntensityScale, castGroundShadow, shadowGroundY, EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing, KHR_lights_punctual, skinning, Blender export, 3D asset.

Use this skill for loading and managing game assets in melonJS — the resource descriptor format, the full asset type list, preload versus load, retrieving loaded assets, base URLs and cross-origin settings, and the loading screen. Triggers on: loader, loader.preload, loader.load, resources, getImage, getJSON, getTMX, getGLTF, getVideo, getFont, setBaseURL, setOptions, crossOrigin, withCredentials, credentials, cookies, authenticated assets, CORS, asset, preload, LOADER_COMPLETE, loading screen, unload.

Animate a portrait, character, artwork or scene with Magic Hour, editing and inspecting the start frame when needed before motion. Use for image-to-video, transformations, reveals and character animation when Magic Hour is requested or is the project's chosen media provider.

Elevate any existing website or webpage to world-class software standards. Combines Apple design foundations, Emil Kowalski's tactile physics and animation principles, mobile-native touch defect eradication, optical typography, calibrated dark/light contrast, liquid glass depth, Command+K action palette, and anti-AI copy standards. Transforms ordinary, clunky, or AI-generated pages into high-craft, beautiful software with noticeable feature and visual upgrades.

Evaluate generated Chatterbox voice files as voice-quality artifacts: affect match, arousal/valence proxies, pause placement, intelligibility inputs, clipping, loudness, and discontinuity flags. Use when reviewing Chatterbox emotional tags, pauses, Turbo/base affect delivery, Persona Dream utterance renders, or whether generated speech matches an intended product-facing affect.

Apple's approach to interface design and fluid, physical motion, translated for the web. Use when building or reviewing gesture-driven UI, spring animations, drag/swipe/sheet interactions, momentum and interruptible transitions, translucent materials and depth, typography (optical sizing, tracking, leading), reduced-motion, or the design foundations (feedback, spatial consistency, restraint) behind Apple-style interfaces.

Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI or designer with. For naming an effect, not designing or building one.

Turn a locked character image (from portrait-clone) into a UGC-style 9:16 talking-head video: pick a voice-reference clip, size the script to the duration, write the Seedance 2.5 prompt, generate through treg (reAPI or PiAPI), then burn a static emoji header and phrase captions with code. Use after portrait-clone when the user wants the character to speak a script on camera.

Router and orchestrator for AI UGC video production. Use for broad outcome requests like making a UGC video or running a campaign; it routes step-specific requests to the right sub-skill and can drive the full pipeline from persona research through virality-scored video.

Turns Claude into a hyper-realistic AI UGC influencer studio. Use whenever the user wants to create, manage, or scale a synthetic/AI influencer: building a consistent character, writing image or video prompts, producing TikTok/Reels/Shorts-style content, or locking a recurring synthetic person with a JSON identity card + 6-layer prompt assembler.

Create short videos for any genre or placement, then independently review the actual exports.

Convert files between formats — PDF to Word, HEIC to JPG, MP4 to MP3, CSV to JSON, EPUB to MOBI, and 999 total routes across images, video, audio, documents, data, fonts, ebooks, and archives. Free via changethisfile.com, no API key or signup. Use when the user needs a file converted to a different format.

Export a promoted fine-tuned model in the right deployment format — merged safetensors, LoRA-only, GGUF with imatrix, or FP8. Use after a checkpoint passes promotion, when choosing a quantization format for a target device, or when an exported model fails its smoke test.

Build, edit, and deploy full-stack websites, apps and games via the Higgsfield CLI (`higgsfield website …`). Each is a React 19 + TanStack Start SSR app in one Cloudflare Worker (D1/R2/KV/DO/Containers). THREE product types, picked via `--type` on create: `website` (standalone, no Higgsfield integration — references/website-flow.md), `app` (Sign in with Higgsfield + fnf SDK, Quanta — references/app-flow.md), `game` (realtime multiplayer rooms — references/game-flow.md). Routes to the right flow; each carries its own rules and deploy/publish gates. Use when: "build me a website", "make a landing page", "create a web app", "build a SaaS dashboard / portfolio", "make me a game", "deploy this site", "publish". Also owns GAME ART: "make a spritesheet", "tileable texture", "animate a 3D character", game music/SFX — see the game-* references. NOT for: single image/video/audio generation (higgsfield-generate), product photos (higgsfield-product-photoshoot), marketplace cards (higgsfield-marketplace-cards).

Create and extend complete visual brand systems through the Higgsfield CLI and bundled deterministic local tooling: palettes, SVG logo marks, typography, mockups, social graphics, packaging, signage, merchandise, posters, presentation decks, and editable PPTX/PDF brandbooks. Preserves official supplied assets, persists approvals locally, and regenerates only dependent outputs. Use when: "create a brand kit", "make a visual identity", "design a logo and brandbook", "apply this logo to branded assets", "make packaging or signage", or "extend our existing branding". Chain with higgsfield-generate for general image production and Marketing Studio brand-kits when importing website metadata for ads. NOT for unbranded image generation (use higgsfield-generate), product catalog photography (use higgsfield-product-photoshoot), website implementation (use higgsfield-websites), or native Figma/Canva/PSD/AI delivery.

Build a complete non-photoreal narrated explainer or story video from ordered 10-second blocks: one narrator, one universal style key, one Seed Audio take and one Gemini Omni clip per block, then server-side assembly with explainer_video. Use when: "make an explainer video", "explain this in a video", "turn this topic or document into a narrated video", "tell this story as an animated video", "make a faceless narrated video", or "show me explainer styles". Supports live CMS presets, custom style references, mascot/faceless modes, two aspects, and optional burned subtitles. NOT for: photoreal films, ads/UGC, talking heads, podcasts, motion typography reels, one-off clips without narration, or editing a finished video.

Systematically explore and test a web application to find bugs, UX issues, and other problems. Use when asked to "dogfood", "QA", "exploratory test", "find issues", "bug hunt", "test this app/site/platform", or review the quality of a web application. Produces a structured report with full reproduction evidence -- step-by-step screenshots, repro videos, and detailed repro steps for every issue -- so findings can be handed directly to the responsible teams.

Plans and scripts short-form and long-form video, and designs the packaging — titles, thumbnails, and openings — that determines whether it gets watched. Use this to script a video, plan a series, fix retention or click-through problems, design thumbnail and title concepts, or turn written content into video. For a YouTube channel specifically — idea selection, retention teardowns, and channel-level strategy — use `youtube-producer`.

Optimize UI performance against Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS — with loading/code-split strategy, layout-shift prevention, and animation performance rules. Use when the user wants to improve speed, fix jank or layout shift, hit Web Vitals budgets, or make a UI feel fast on low-end devices.

Generate, extend, or audit design tokens in DTCG format with the 3-tier architecture (primitive → semantic → component). Use when the user wants a color palette, type scale, spacing/shadow/radius/motion tokens, multi-brand theming, or wants to validate token files. Covers colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, breakpoints, motion, gradients, opacity, blur, sizing, states, theming.

Create high-click-through YouTube thumbnails and vertical video covers through the Higgsfield CLI. Builds a truthful information-gap concept, preserves up to three referenced identities, supports logos and controlled variants, renders the main image with Nano Banana Pro, and applies focused Seedream edits. Use when: "make a YouTube thumbnail", "thumbnail for this video", "MrBeast-style cover", "Shorts cover", or "Instagram video cover". Chain after any video workflow once its truthful topic and visual direction are known. NOT for producing the video itself (use higgsfield-generate), product catalog photos (use higgsfield-product-photoshoot), or marketplace cards (use higgsfield-marketplace-cards).

Use when the user wants to upload or schedule a TikTok video through Publora, with privacy, comment, duet, stitch and commercial-disclosure settings. Video runs 3 seconds to 10 minutes at 23+ FPS; carousels take up to 35 images. Unaudited apps can publish private videos only. Not for Reels (use instagram-post).

Use Signal Lab's focused Apify data APIs or Official MCP tools for public YouTube captions, website-to-Markdown RAG ingestion, known job-posting extraction, Amazon price tracking, Google Autocomplete research, Reddit research, and restaurant menu extraction. Use when an agent needs one of these public-data workflows and should choose a bounded, truthful Apify or MCP path instead of inventing scraping capabilities.
