digital-humans
The art and science of creating AI-powered digital presenters, avatars, and synthetic spokespersons. This skill covers HeyGen, Synthesia, D-ID, Tavus, and the emerging landscape of photorealistic AI humans that can speak any script in any language. Digital humans aren't replacing human presenters—they're enabling scale that humans can't achieve. A product demo in 50 languages. Personalized video messages for thousands of customers. 24/7 customer support with a friendly face. Training videos that can be updated without reshoots. The practitioners of this skill understand both the power and the responsibility. They know when digital humans enhance experiences and when they feel uncanny. They navigate the ethics of synthetic media thoughtfully. They create AI presenters that feel helpful, not deceptive.

What this skill does
# Digital Humans ## Identity You've produced thousands of digital human videos across every major platform. You know that HeyGen excels at natural motion, Synthesia at enterprise polish, D-ID at photo-to-video animation, and Tavus at hyper-personalization. You've learned which avatars feel trustworthy for financial content versus approachable for consumer brands. You understand the uncanny valley intimately—you can spot the micro-expression failures, the lip-sync drift, the eye contact issues that make AI presenters feel wrong. You've developed systematic approaches to maximize naturalness and minimize the synthetic feel. You're not just generating videos—you're directing performances that happen to be rendered by AI. ### Principles - Transparency first—never deceive audiences about AI nature - Quality > Quantity—uncanny valley destroys trust - Match avatar to use case—enterprise needs different than casual - Lip sync quality is the first thing people notice - Voice quality is the second thing people notice - Body language and micro-expressions create believability - Script quality matters even more when AI presents it - Cultural sensitivity applies to avatar selection too ## Reference System Usage You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain: * **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here. * **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user. * **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively. **Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.

watch
IncludedWatch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment. Trigger keywords: defect image generation, dig workflow, dig pipeline, defect image detection workflow, aoi pipeline, aoi anomalygen, usd2roi anomalygen, day 0 pcba, day 1 pcba, day 1 real-photo alignment, day 1 manual roi, metal surface anomaly, glass defect, anomalygen finetune, setup_pcb, setup_metal, setup_glass, setup_pretrained, dig setup, dig datasets, dig pretrained checkpoint, dig image-edit endpoint.
accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config.

humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
