Video & Animation

Generate images/videos via Higgsfield AI. Default: GPT Image 2 for images/design/text, Seedance 2.0 for video, Nano Banana 2/Pro for character/reference image work, Marketing Studio for ads with avatars/products/hooks, settings, plus Soul V2/Cinema/Cast/Location and Kling 3.0. Use when: "generate an image", "make a video", "animate this photo", "image-to-video", "edit/stylize/remix this image", "produce a clip", "create an ad", "make a UGC video", "product demo", "unboxing", "brand video", "presenter video", "import product from URL", "create avatar for ad", or "analyze video virality". Supports image-to-image, image-to-video, references, job/upload IDs, and Marketing Studio. Chain with higgsfield-soul-id for face/identity consistency. Virality Predictor (`brain_activity`) analyzes video virality: hook strength, attention, retention, distraction risk, and creative score. NOT for: Soul Character training (use higgsfield-soul-id), product photoshoots, marketplace listing cards, text/chat/TTS tasks.

Author a new HyperFrames registry block (caption style, VFX block, transition, lower third) or component (text effect, overlay, snippet) and ship it as an upstream PR to the hyperframes repo. Use ONLY when the user wants to CONTRIBUTE to the public catalog — for in-project caption/transition authoring use the `hyperframes` skill, for installing existing registry items use the `hyperframes-registry` skill.

Complete guide for building beautiful apps with Expo Router. Covers fundamentals, styling, components, navigation, animations, patterns, and native tabs.

Guide for implementing smooth, native-feeling animations using React's View Transition API (`<ViewTransition>` component, `addTransitionType`, and CSS view transition pseudo-elements). Use this skill whenever the user wants to add page transitions, animate route changes, create shared element animations, animate enter/exit of components, animate list reorder, implement directional (forward/back) navigation animations, or integrate view transitions in Next.js. Also use when the user mentions view transitions, `startViewTransition`, `ViewTransition`, transition types, or asks about animating between UI states in React without third-party animation libraries.

Asset preprocessing for HyperFrames compositions — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), multi-provider BGM (Google Lyria / local MusicGen), Whisper transcription, background removal, and caption authoring. Use for npx hyperframes tts, bgm, transcribe, remove-background, voice/provider selection, music-mood prompting, captions / subtitles / lyrics / karaoke / per-word styling.

Anime.js adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when writing Anime.js animations or timelines inside HyperFrames compositions, registering animations on window.__hfAnime, making Anime.js seek-driven and deterministic, or translating Anime.js examples into render-safe HyperFrames HTML.

Three.js and WebGL adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when creating deterministic Three.js scenes, WebGL canvas layers, AnimationMixer timelines, camera motion, shader-driven visuals, or canvas renders that respond to HyperFrames hf-seek events.

Lottie and dotLottie adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when embedding lottie-web JSON animations, .lottie files, @lottiefiles/dotlottie-web players, registering instances on window.__hfLottie, or making After Effects exports deterministic in HyperFrames.

Web Animations API adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when authoring element.animate() motion, Animation currentTime seeking, document.getAnimations(), KeyframeEffect timing, fill modes, or native browser animations that must render deterministically in HyperFrames.

Translate an existing Remotion (React-based) video composition into a HyperFrames HTML composition. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to port, convert, migrate, translate, or rewrite a Remotion composition as HyperFrames (e.g. "port my Remotion project to HyperFrames"). Do NOT use when (a) authoring a NEW HyperFrames composition (even if A/B-testing a Remotion video); (b) Remotion is mentioned in passing; (c) Remotion code is shared as reference, not for translation; (d) the user wants "the same video as my Remotion one" without explicitly asking to migrate the source — treat as a fresh HyperFrames build. When in doubt, default to the `hyperframes` skill. Detects unsupported patterns (useState, useEffect side effects, async calculateMetadata, third-party React component libraries, `@remotion/lambda`) and recommends the runtime interop escape hatch instead of a lossy translation.

CSS animation adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when authoring CSS keyframes, animation-delay based timing, animation-fill-mode, animation-play-state, or CSS-only motion that HyperFrames must seek deterministically during preview and rendering.

When the user wants help creating, scheduling, or optimizing social media content for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or other platforms. Also use when the user mentions 'LinkedIn post,' 'Twitter thread,' 'social media,' 'content calendar,' 'social scheduling,' 'engagement,' 'viral content,' 'what should I post,' 'repurpose this content,' 'tweet ideas,' 'LinkedIn carousel,' 'social media strategy,' 'grow my following,' 'TikTok video,' 'Reels,' 'Shorts,' 'video script,' 'video hook,' 'short-form video,' or 'create a reel.' Use this for social media content creation, repurposing, scheduling, and short-form video scripting. For broader content strategy, see content-strategy. For paid video ads, see ad-creative.

Pushes interfaces past conventional limits with technically ambitious implementations — shaders, spring physics, scroll-driven reveals, 60fps animations. Use when the user wants to wow, impress, go all-out, or make something that feels extraordinary.

Add moments of joy, personality, and unexpected touches that make interfaces memorable and enjoyable to use. Elevates functional to delightful. Use when the user asks to add polish, personality, animations, micro-interactions, delight, or make an interface feel fun or memorable.

Capture a website and create a HyperFrames video from it. Use when: (1) a user provides a URL and wants a video, (2) someone says "capture this site", "turn this into a video", "make a promo from my site", (3) the user wants a social ad, product tour, or any video based on an existing website, (4) the user shares a link and asks for any kind of video content. Even if the user just pastes a URL — this is the skill to use.

GSAP animation reference for HyperFrames. Covers gsap.to(), from(), fromTo(), easing, stagger, defaults, timelines (gsap.timeline(), position parameter, labels, nesting, playback), and performance (transforms, will-change, quickTo). Use when writing GSAP animations in HyperFrames compositions.

This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.

Diagnoses and fixes UI performance across loading speed, rendering, animations, images, and bundle size. Use when the user mentions slow, laggy, janky, performance, bundle size, load time, or wants a faster, smoother experience.

Review a feature and enhance it with purposeful animations, micro-interactions, and motion effects that improve usability and delight. Use when the user mentions adding animation, transitions, micro-interactions, motion design, hover effects, or making the UI feel more alive.

Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (crossfades, wipes, reveals, shader transitions). Covers composition authoring, timing, media, and the full video production workflow. For dev-loop CLI commands (init, lint, inspect, preview, render) see the hyperframes-cli skill; for asset preprocessing commands (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

Teaches the AI to design like a high-end agency. Defines the exact fonts, spacing, shadows, card structures, and animations that make a website feel expensive. Blocks all the common defaults that make AI designs look cheap or generic.

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into `${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/<name>/` and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as `runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit` to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no `$imagegen`, no OPENAI_API_KEY required, only RUNCOMFY_TOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.

Generate cinematic short-form video with ByteDance Seedance 2.0 Pro on RunComfy. Documents Seedance 2.0 Pro's strengths (multi-modal references — up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio — synchronized in-pass audio with natural lip-sync, cinematic motion refinement), the 4–15s duration schema, and when to route to HappyHorse 1.0 / Wan 2.7 / Kling instead. Calls `runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro` through the local RunComfy CLI. Triggers on "seedance", "seedance 2", "seedance v2", "seedance pro", "bytedance video", or any explicit ask to generate video with this model.

Lip-sync a face to a specific audio track on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI. Routes across ByteDance OmniHuman (audio-driven full-body avatar from a portrait + audio), Sync Labs sync v2 / Pro (state-of-the-art mouth sync onto a video), Kling lipsync (audio-to- video and text-to-video with synced speech), and Creatify lipsync. The skill picks the right endpoint for the user's actual intent — portrait still + audio (avatar-style), source video + audio (mouth- swap on existing footage), or generate-and-sync from a script. Triggers on "lip sync", "lipsync", "make this video speak", "match audio to mouth", "dub video", "sync lips to voice", "Sync Labs", "voiceover sync", or any explicit ask to drive a face's mouth from an audio track.
