Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

heygen-avatar scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HeyGen Avatar Designer

Create and manage HeyGen avatars for anyone: the agent, the user, or named characters. Handles identity extraction, avatar generation, voice selection, and saves everything to AVATAR-<NAME>.md for consistent reuse.

Files & Paths

This skill reads and writes the following. No other files are accessed without explicit user instruction.

Operation Path Purpose
Read SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md Extract identity details when creating an avatar for the agent
Read AVATAR-<NAME>.md Load existing avatar identity (for variant looks, voice updates)
Write AVATAR-<NAME>.md Save new avatar identity after creation
Write AVATAR-AGENT.md, AVATAR-USER.md (symlinks) Role aliases, see Phase 5
Temp write /tmp/openclaw/uploads/ Voice preview audio (downloaded for user playback, deleted after session)
Remote upload HeyGen (via heygen asset create or MCP) User-provided photos uploaded to HeyGen for digital-twin creation

Assets are only uploaded to HeyGen when the user explicitly provides them.

Language Awareness

Detect the user's language from their first message. Store as user_language (e.g., en, ja, es, ko, zh, fr, de, pt).

  1. Communicate with the user in their language. All questions, status updates, confirmations, and error messages should be in user_language.
  2. Voice design prompts and selection respect user_language. When designing or selecting a voice, specify the target language so the voice library returns matches that speak it.
  3. Technical directives stay in English — enum values (Young Adult, Realistic, landscape, etc.) are API-level and not translated.

UX Rules

  1. Be concise. No avatar IDs, group IDs, or raw API payloads in chat. Report the result (avatar created, ready to use) not the plumbing.
  2. No internal jargon. Never mention internal phase names ("Phase 0", "Phase 5 Symlink Maintenance") to the user. The user sees natural conversation: "Setting up your avatar\u2026" not "Running Phase 2 avatar creation."
  3. One or two questions per phase. Don't batch-ask. Walk phases in order, ask the smallest set of questions needed to proceed.
  4. Read workspace files before asking. SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AVATAR-*.md at the workspace root contain identity. Check them first. Only ask the user for what's genuinely missing.
  5. Don't narrate skill internals. Never say "let me read the workflow," "checking the reference files," "loading the avatar discovery guide." Read silently. The user sees questions and results, not internal navigation.
  6. Don't announce what you're about to do. Skip meta-commentary like "Creating the avatar now." Just do the work. If a step takes time, the next thing the user hears should be the result (or a checkpoint question).
  7. Never narrate transport choice. MCP vs CLI is internal. Pick the transport silently and never mention it. If both are unavailable, ask the user to configure one without explaining why.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
