generate

The /generate front door — in-house, pay-as-you-go creative generation (Higgsfield replacement). One command for image, video, and audio: routes each request to the right model recipe (skills/generate/models/*.json), defers to binding creative_router lanes (people → fal-people, style-family → fantastic-posters; Higgsfield fully retired 2026-08-06), quotes paid video before running, honors prompt-level budgets ("total budget $3"), runs comparison batches across models, logs every prompt beside its asset, and auto-refreshes the Asset Command Center (/assets-board). Use when the user says "generate", "make an image/video/voiceover", "create ads/assets/creative", names a model (recraft, kling, seedance, nano banana, gpt image), or asks for a multi-model comparison.

video-studio

The Edit Bay — in-house conversational video studio (VOX-style explainers, documentaries, shorts, LinkedIn video). Transcript-driven cutting, B-roll ladder, motion graphics as code, captions, music, publish-ready packages — all agent-operated, free-first. Use when Farrice says "edit this video/footage", "make an explainer/documentary/short", "cut this recording", "add B-roll/captions/music", "turn this essay/post into a video", or any video production ask. Front door for three modes: talking-head, VO-only, zero-camera (his recorded VO + assembled visuals — NO voice clone, NO TTS narration, his ruling 2026-08-06).

brad-bonanno-explainer-video-architecture

Architects technical explainer videos using Brad Bonanno's structural patterns — survives short attention spans, communicates complete systems (not just teasers), and functions as a channel-building artifact (one video pulls subscribers, not just views). Use when planning a long-form technical explainer (5-20 min) for YouTube, structuring an explanation of a complex system the user knows but can't teach yet, balancing depth vs accessibility for a technical audience, or building an evergreen video meant to compound subscriber growth over years rather than spike then die. Trigger proactively whenever the user says "explainer video", "technical explainer", "how do I explain X", "long-form YouTube", "evergreen video", or has a complex system that needs to land with a non-expert. For Instagram-format shareworthy content use brock-johnson-shareworthy-content; for short-form video patterns use a TikTok/Reels-specific skill.

Nicolas Cole Sentence Craft

Transform any writing into tighter, more powerful prose through systematic application of Nicolas Cole's sentence-level mastery techniques. Nicolas Cole is a professional writer with 10 books, who has trained tens of thousands of writers. His genius operates at the atomic level of writing—the sentence itself. While others focus on ideas and structure, Cole treats each sentence as an engineered unit with specific mechanical properties that can be optimized. Core philosophy: The best versi

Atomic Compression & Density Audit

High-Density Compressed Draft

You have a bloated first draft that needs to be tightened for maximum information density and clarity

terminal

Terminal Power & Rhythm Engineering

Rhythmic Power-Polished Manuscript

Your writing feels flat, lacks punch, or has clunky transitions and weak sentence endings

audience

Audience Calibration & Vocabulary Control

Audience-Aligned Final Manuscript

You need to ensure your writing matches a specific audience's reading level and maintains a consistent voice without repetitive jargon
