Generate AI avatar videos with HeyGen's Video Agent API. One-shot prompt to video generation.
What this skill does
# HeyGen Video Agent
Generate videos with a single prompt using HeyGen's Video Agent API. The Video Agent takes your prompt and automatically creates an AI avatar video.
## Reference Files
- [references/prompt-optimizer.md](references/prompt-optimizer.md) - Write effective prompts for professional results
## Setup
1. Get your API key from https://app.heygen.com/settings?nav=API
2. Set the environment variable:
```bash
export HEYGEN_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
## Generate a Video
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py --prompt "Create a 30-second explainer video about AI agents"
```
Options:
- `--prompt`: The video generation prompt (required)
- `--poll`: Wait for video completion and show URL
- `--out-dir`: Output directory for downloaded video (default: ./heygen-output)
- `--download`: Download the video when complete (requires --poll)
Examples:
```bash
# Quick submit (returns video_id immediately)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py --prompt "Introduce our new product feature"
# Wait for completion and get video URL
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py --prompt "Create a welcome message for new users" --poll
# Wait and download the video
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate.py --prompt "Explain how to use the dashboard" --poll --download
```
## Check Video Status
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/status.py --video-id <video_id>
```
Options:
- `--video-id`: The video ID from generate.py (required)
- `--poll`: Keep checking until complete
- `--download`: Download video when complete
- `--out-dir`: Output directory for downloaded video
## API Reference
**Generate Video:**
- Endpoint: `POST https://api.heygen.com/v1/video_agent/generate`
- Auth: `x-api-key: <your-api-key>`
- Body: `{ "prompt": "your video prompt" }`
- Response: `{ "data": { "video_id": "..." } }`
**Check Status:**
- Endpoint: `GET https://api.heygen.com/v1/video_status.get?video_id=<id>`
- Auth: `x-api-key: <your-api-key>`
- Response includes: status (pending, processing, completed, failed), video_url (when complete)
## Notes
- Video generation typically takes 1-5 minutes depending on length
- The Video Agent automatically selects appropriate avatars and voices based on your prompt
- For more control over avatar/voice selection, see HeyGen's standard video API

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.
