name	higgsfield
description	Use this skill whenever the user asks anything about Higgsfield AI — writing or refining video/image prompts, choosing a model (Kling, Sora 2, Veo, Wan, Seedance, Minimax Hailuo, DoP, Soul, Nano Banana, Seedream, Flux, GPT Image, etc.), camera controls, named motion presets, Soul ID character consistency, Cinema Studio 2.5/3.0, Vibe Motion, troubleshooting failed generations, credit optimization, Photodump, or any mention of higgsfield.ai. Also trigger on generic "write me a video prompt" or "make me an AI video prompt" requests when Higgsfield is the user's configured platform.

HARD RULES — pre-delivery checklist

These rules apply to every Higgsfield response. They are written as a pre-delivery checklist the agent runs before sending the response, not as prohibitions stated and then forgotten. The failure mode they prevent is plausibility-over-verification — producing a response that looks correct because the agent's training data knows the rough shape of Higgsfield work, rather than because the agent actually read the skill files and verified the platform's ground truth.

Before delivering any Higgsfield response, confirm in this order:

1. Routing line present. First line of response names which sub-skills you routed to (e.g. "Routing to higgsfield-prompt + higgsfield-camera for an Atmosphere push-in"). One line, then the work. Missing routing line = response is incomplete; add it.

2. Routed sub-skills opened and read in this conversation. Match the user's ask to the routing table below, open the matching sub-skill files with the read tool, and READ them. Root SKILL.md and skills/higgsfield-prompt/SKILL.md are mandatory at minimum on any prompt request. Grepped snippets do not satisfy this rule. Full reads do. If your only access to root SKILL.md or skills/higgsfield-prompt/SKILL.md in this conversation came from grep results, you have not satisfied this rule — open the file. Platform vocabulary, preset names, and model parameters must come from the files because this platform's lineup changes between releases.

3. Named vocabulary verified, not invented. Camera preset names, motion preset names, model names, CLI flag forms, and MCP tool parameter names all come from the skill files or from live verification (higgsfield model get <model> for CLI param schemas; models_explore for MCP). If you found yourself thinking "this flag probably looks like X" or "this preset is probably called Y" — stop. Read the file or run the verification command. Plausibility is not validity. Do not substitute generic video-prompt vocabulary for named Higgsfield presets; do not invent model versions, camera presets, or motion-preset names. If the user names one you don't see in the skill files, say so and ask for clarification.

4. MCSLA structure intact on video prompts. Model · Camera · Subject · Look · Action. Five layers, every video prompt, unless the user explicitly opted out.

5. Shared negative constraints appended. Pull positive-phrasing prevention phrases from skills/shared/negative-constraints.md. Do not paraphrase from training; use the exact phrasing from the file. (Kling 3.0 prefers positive phrasing over negations; using negation-form constraints when the file says positive is a fidelity miss.)

6. Preflight surfaced when applicable. If execution intent is signaled (CLI / MCP / bundled-skills mentioned) AND a video-class or high-cost model is named OR a budget concern is named, surface the two-step preflight (model get / models_explore for schema, then cost estimate). See skills/higgsfield-stack/SKILL.md § Preflight discipline.

7. Aspect ratio is an enum, not a free-form value. Check the model's allowed ratios via schema verify before writing them into the header. Anamorphic / 2.35:1 / 2.39:1 are style register vocabulary for the Look line, not output ratios. See vocab.md § Aspect Ratio: output spec vs. style register.

8. Prompt under 200 words. Soft cap from MCSLA section. Going over is a signal you're padding rather than locking — tighten.

If any of items 1–8 are missing or unverified, the response is incomplete. Complete them before sending, not after.

Workflow

Fast Path — Simple Creative Requests

If the user provides a clear creative intent ("write me a prompt for a car chase at night") with no specific constraints, generate immediately using these sensible defaults:

Fast Path still requires reading skills/higgsfield-prompt/SKILL.md first — Fast Path means skip clarifying questions, NOT skip the file read.

Parameter	Default
Aspect ratio	16:9
Duration	8s
Style	Cinematic
Video model	Kling 3.0 (character-focused) or Sora 2 (action/scale)
Image model	Soul 2.0 (portrait) or Nano Banana 2 (everything else)

Do not ask clarifying questions. Deliver a ready-to-paste prompt. Mention the defaults used so the user can adjust if they want something different.

If you did not read skills/higgsfield-prompt/SKILL.md earlier in this conversation, read it now before writing the prompt.

Full Path — Production Requests

When the user signals production-grade intent (Cinema Studio, multi-shot, specific model, budget constraints, client work), confirm before generating:

Required:

• Generation type: Image / Video / App (one-click)
• Video duration: 5s / 10s (image-to-video clips are 3–5s; text-to-video up to 10s+)
• Aspect ratio: 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 4:3 / 2.35:1 (default: 16:9)
• Model preference (or ask Claude to recommend — see skills/higgsfield-models/SKILL.md)

Optional (skip if user already provided):

• Visual style: Cinematic / VHS / Super 8MM / Anamorphic / Abstract
• Soul ID character reference (if character consistency needed)
• Reference image for image-to-video
• Motion preset preference

Ask everything in one message — do not split across multiple rounds.

Check Templates for Genre Match

Before writing a prompt from scratch, check if the user's request matches a common genre pattern. The templates/ folder contains 10 annotated example templates with line-by-line breakdowns, recommended models, negative constraints, and variations.

User request matches	Check template
Chase, pursuit, action, parkour	templates/01-cinematic-action-chase.md
Product, commercial, ad, UGC	templates/02-product-ugc-showcase.md
Horror, scary, creepy, dread	templates/03-horror-atmosphere.md
Fashion, editorial, lookbook	templates/04-fashion-editorial.md
Sci-fi, cyberpunk, VFX, space	templates/05-sci-fi-vfx.md
Portrait, character intro, close-up	templates/06-portrait-character-intro.md
Landscape, nature, establishing shot	templates/07-landscape-establishing-shot.md
Comedy, social media, TikTok, skit	templates/08-comedy-social-media.md
Romance, intimate, couple, wedding	templates/09-romantic-intimate.md
Dance, music, performance, concert	templates/10-dance-music-performance.md

Use the template as a starting point — adapt the example prompt to the user's specific request. The annotations explain WHY each element works, helping you make informed substitutions.

Technique templates (templates/seedance/) — structure templates for Seedance prompts where the user request is technique-shaped rather than genre-shaped:

Technique need	Template
Pre-visualize multi-character spatial geometry before prompting	templates/seedance/top-down-map.md
Multi-character shot with cross-character relationships	templates/seedance/multi-character-anchor.md
Single-character shot with position + pose + contact-point locks	templates/seedance/single-character-position.md
Worked example: two-character anchoring end-to-end	templates/seedance/worked-example-two-character.md
Anime / stylized-2D animation — layered formula + style block + character turnaround	templates/seedance/anime-animation.md

Text-overlay templates (templates/text-overlays/) — paste-ready text-rendering prompts for slogan / subtitle / speech-bubble overlays:

Text overlay type	Template
Slogan / brand callout / opening title	templates/text-overlays/slogan.md
Subtitle (dialogue-synchronized)	templates/text-overlays/subtitle.md
Speech bubble (character-attributed)	templates/text-overlays/speech-bubble.md

Build the Prompt Using the MCSLA Formula

Full MCSLA definition and prompt structure → skills/higgsfield-prompt/SKILL.md

Quick summary — five layers, every prompt:

M	C	S	L	A
Model	Camera	Subject	Look	Action

Core rules:

• Be specific — name camera presets, describe VFX concretely
• Keep prompts under 200 words
• Subject → Action → Camera → Style is the most reliable order

---

Output Format

Single prompt:

**Model**: [model name]
**Aspect ratio**: [ratio]  **Duration**: [Xs]  **Style**: [style]

[Prompt]

**Camera**: [camera control name]
**Motion preset** (if used): [preset name]

Two versions (when style varies):

### Version 1 — [Style Name]
[Prompt]

---
### Version 2 — [Style Name]
[Prompt]

Output rules:

• Output a clean, ready-to-paste prompt — no meta-commentary after
• Do not explain what every line does unless the user asks
• Always name the camera control and motion preset explicitly

---

@ Reference Rules

• User uploads image: use [reference image] or describe it as "the provided reference"
• For Soul ID character: note "using Soul ID character reference" in the prompt
• For video extension: note "extend from [reference video], continue with..."
• For style transfer: note "match the visual style of [reference image]"

Shared Resources

Resource	What it contains	When to use
skills/shared/negative-constraints.md	All generation artifacts + prevention phrases, by category	Check before every prompt — append relevant constraints
templates/	10 annotated genre templates with examples, models, annotations, variations	When user request matches a common genre — use as starting point
templates/seedance/	5 Seedance technique templates: top-down-map, multi-character-anchor, single-character-position, worked-example-two-character, anime-animation	When Seedance request is technique-shaped (spatial blocking, multi-character anchoring, anime/stylized-2D)
templates/text-overlays/	3 text-rendering templates: slogan, subtitle, speech-bubble	When user request includes on-screen text rendering
