lip-sync-pipeline

lip-sync-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from HistOracle-production/blabberer. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,334 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An image-processing pipeline that turns a face image into nine mouth-shape sprites for lip-sync animation. Lip sync means changing a character's mouth shapes to match spoken audio.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create transparent PNG or WebP mouth sprites for characters, avatars, or faces, and to preview audio-driven animation in its browser demo.
Why use it?
It automates face detection, mouth-shape generation, background removal, and edge softening instead of requiring each sprite to be made by hand.

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 A, and why

lip-sync-pipeline scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Blabberer — Lip Sync Sprite Pipeline

Generate 9 mouth shape sprites from any face image using AI.

Input Image → Face Detection → Gemini AI → 9 Mouth Shapes → Background Removal → Soft Edges → Ready

Installation

If you don't already have the blabberer Python package installed:

# Clone the repo (if not already cloned)
git clone https://github.com/HistOracle-production/blabberer.git
cd blabberer

# Install the Python package
pip install -e .
# OR
uv pip install -e .

Set your OpenRouter API key:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...   # Get one at https://openrouter.ai/keys

First run downloads the rembg U2Net model (~170MB). Subsequent runs are instant.

Quick Pipeline

One-command generation

blabberer generate <image_path> --output-dir ./sprites --verbose

This auto-detects the face, generates all 9 shapes, removes backgrounds, and applies soft edges.

Output:

sprites/
├── shape_A.png through shape_H.png, shape_X.png   # Raw PNGs
├── shape_A.webp through shape_X.webp               # Transparent background
└── soft/
    └── shape_A.webp through shape_X.webp            # Production-ready (soft edges)

Manual face crop (if auto-detection fails)

blabberer generate image.png --crop-box left,top,right,bottom

The 9 Preston Blair Shapes

Shape Phonemes Mouth Position
A M, B, P Lips pressed together
B S, T, D, K, N Slightly parted, teeth visible
C A, I Open mouth (speaking vowels)
D E Wide horizontal stretch
E O Rounded oval
F U, W, Q Puckered lips
G F, V Upper teeth on lower lip
H L, T, D, N Barely parted
X (idle) Resting/closed mouth

Running the Demo

The repo includes a browser-based demo that plays audio with real-time lip sync:

cd demo
npm install
npm run dev
# Opens http://localhost:5173

Demo modes

Canvas mode (simple.html — default): Draws mouth shapes on a canvas overlay. Works immediately, no sprites needed.
