This repo contains 9 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.
Generate AI videos from text prompts using the HeyGen API. Use when: (1) Generating videos from text descriptions, (2) Creating AI-generated video clips for content production, (3) Image-to-video generation with a reference image, (4) Choosing between video generation providers (VEO, Kling, Sora, Runway, Seedance), (5) Working with HeyGen's /v1/workflows/executions endpoint for video generation.
Create AI avatar videos with precise control over avatars, voices, scripts, and backgrounds using HeyGen's v3 API (POST /v3/videos). Two modes: type="avatar" with avatar_id, or type="image" with an image AssetInput (Avatar IV). Use when: (1) Choosing a specific avatar and voice for a video, (2) Writing exact scripts for an avatar to speak, (3) Animating a photo into a speaking video (type="image"), (4) Transparent background videos with remove_background, (5) Integrating HeyGen avatars with Remotion, (6) Batch video generation with exact specs, (7) Brand-consistent production videos with precise control.
Create videos from a text prompt using HeyGen's Video Agent (POST /v3/video-agents). The default for most video requests — AI handles script, avatar, visuals, voiceover, and captions automatically. Use when: (1) Creating a video from a description or idea, (2) Generating explainer, demo, or marketing videos from a prompt, (3) Making a video without specifying exact avatars, voices, or scenes, (4) Quick video prototyping or drafts, (5) User says "make me a video" or "create a video about X". For precise control over specific avatars, exact scripts, or per-scene configuration, use the avatar-video skill instead.
Swap faces in a video using AI via the HeyGen API. Use when: (1) Replacing a face in a video with another face, (2) Face swapping from a source image onto a target video, (3) Creating personalized videos by swapping in a person's face, (4) Working with HeyGen's /v1/workflows/executions endpoint for face swap processing.
[DEPRECATED] Use `create-video` for prompt-based video generation or `avatar-video` for precise avatar/scene control. This legacy skill combines both workflows — the newer focused skills provide clearer guidance.
Generate HeyGen presenter videos via the v3 Video Agent pipeline — handles Frame Check (aspect ratio correction), prompt engineering, avatar resolution, and voice selection. Required for any HeyGen video generation. Replaces deprecated endpoints with v3. Use when: (1) generating any HeyGen video (via API or otherwise), (2) sending a personalized video message (outreach, update, announcement, pitch, knowledge), (3) creating a HeyGen presenter-led explainer, tutorial, or product demo with a human face, (4) "make a video of me saying...", "send a video to my leads", "record an update for my team", "create a video pitch", "make a loom-style message", "I want to appear in this video", "generate a HeyGen video", "make a talking head video". Accepts avatar_id from heygen-avatar for identity-first HeyGen videos, or uses a stock presenter. Returns video share URL + HeyGen session URL for iteration. Chain signal: when the user wants to create/design an avatar AND make a video in the same request, run heygen-avatar firs
Download video and audio from YouTube and 1000+ sites using yt-dlp. No API keys needed. Use when: (1) Downloading a video from YouTube or other sites, (2) Extracting audio from a video URL, (3) Downloading subtitles/captions from a video, (4) Getting video metadata without downloading.
Understand video content locally using ffmpeg frame extraction and Whisper transcription. No API keys needed. Use when: (1) Understanding what a video contains, (2) Transcribing video audio locally, (3) Extracting key frames for visual analysis, (4) Getting video content without API keys.
Create, extract, and apply portable visual design systems via visual-style.md files. Use when: (1) Creating a visual-style.md design system from scratch, (2) Extracting a visual style from a website URL, video, or PDF brand guide, (3) Applying a visual style to HeyGen videos, HTML slides, Figma, or paper.design, (4) Browsing the gallery of pre-built visual styles (Swiss, Saul Bass, Game Boy, etc.), (5) User mentions "visual style", "design system", "brand style", or "style guide", (6) Styling a HeyGen video with a consistent design language.
Next-generation face swapper and enhancer often integrated into video editing agent workflows.
Modern web design trends, principles, and implementation patterns for 2024-2025. Use this skill when designing websites, creating interactive experiences, implementing design systems, ensuring accessibility, or building performance-first interfaces. Triggers on tasks involving modern design trends, micro-interactions, scrollytelling, bold minimalism, cursor UX, glassmorphism, accessibility compliance, performance optimization, or design system architecture. References animation skills (GSAP, Framer Motion, React Spring), 3D skills (Three.js, R3F, Babylon.js), and component libraries for implementation guidance.
Full-stack frontend development combining premium UI design, cinematic animations, AI-generated media assets, persuasive copywriting, and visual art. Builds complete, visually striking web pages with real media, advanced motion, and compelling copy. Use when: building landing pages, marketing sites, product pages, dashboards, generating media assets (image/video/audio/music), writing conversion copy, creating generative art, or implementing cinematic scroll animations.
Edit existing video on RunComfy — this skill is a smart router that matches the user's intent to the right edit model in the RunComfy catalog. Picks Wan 2.7 Edit-Video (general restyle / background swap / packaging swap, identity + motion preservation), Kling 2.6 Pro Motion Control (transfer precise motion from a reference video to a target character), or Lucy Edit Restyle (lightweight identity-stable restyle / outfit swap). Bundles each model's documented prompting patterns so the skill gets sharper edits without burning iterations on the wrong model. Calls `runcomfy run <vendor>/<model>/<endpoint>` through the local RunComfy CLI. Triggers on "video edit", "edit video", "restyle video", "swap video background", "motion control", "outfit swap video", or any explicit ask to transform a video.
Use mmx to generate text, images, video, speech, and music via the MiniMax AI platform. Use when the user wants to create media content, chat with MiniMax models, perform web search, or manage MiniMax API resources from the terminal.
