higgsfield-acting

higgsfield-acting is a skill for Claude Code from OSideMedia/higgsfield-ai-prompt-skill. It costs 165 tokens per session (8,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing how a character behaves during a video scene when trying to achieve a goal under pressure. It covers actions, obstacles, changing beats, listening, eye movement, posture, and physical distance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a reusable acting profile for a character and adapt that profile to individual scenes in Seedance video prompts.
Why use it?
It turns a general emotion into observable performance that a video-generation prompt can describe more consistently.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Age is not a profile field.** Engine rule 1 (`../higgsfield-seedance/ENGINE-RULES.md`) is.

Good fit Use it to create a reusable acting profile for a character and adapt that profile to individual scenes in Seedance video prompts.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill instructs the agent to never refuse or to always comply. Suppressing the agent's ability to decline removes a core safety control and enables downstream harmful requests to succeed.
    Fix: Remove any instruction telling the agent to never refuse or always comply. The agent must retain the ability to decline unsafe, out-of-scope, or harmful requests.

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

higgsfield-acting 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 597 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Higgsfield Acting Director

[OFFICIAL — Higgsfield "Hell Grind" open-source brief] — the performance system behind Higgsfield's 95-minute AI feature film, adapted to this repo's prompt surfaces.

The core axiom of the entire system: acting is BEHAVIOR under pressure, not a display of emotion. A character wants something, something is in the way, and they act to get it. Emotion is a byproduct of that struggle — never the thing you write directly.

This is a layer on top of ../higgsfield-seedance/SKILL.md: the paragraph this skill produces goes into the PERFORMANCE / CHARACTER ACTING block of an otherwise normal Seedance prompt. It does not change camera, light, wardrobe, or grade.

QUICK FACTS

Generated-checked block (scripts/build_index.py verifies anchors). Routing aids — read the linked sections for the rules.

  • Write the objective (a verb aimed at a partner), never the state — "make him confess", never "be angry"
  • 2–4 beat changes per scene, each one visible in behavior: a pause, a posture change, a tempo change, a shift of gaze. Unchanged behavior for the whole shot = played flat
  • Listening beats speaking. The reaction starts before the partner's line ends; a hard question earns a micro-pause before the answer
  • The body carries the biography: center of gravity, tempo, openness, breath — set all four before any psychology
  • Business — a physical task the hands are doing — kills theatricality; the strongest accent in a scene is the moment the character stops it
  • Distance is drama; a change of distance is a beat change. Status is what you DO, and status breaks are the most interesting thing in a performance
  • The master profile is 150–220 words, one paragraph, fixed block order, written once per character and then rewritten per scene — never pasted
  • Every tic carries a trigger; every mask carries a crack — at least one "However, when X…" clause per profile
  • Eye life is mandatory and never optional — saccades, blink quality, live catchlights, eyes-lead-thought. Dead eyes are the number-one tell of AI acting
  • Scene adaptation transforms, never deletes: a behavior that can't physically happen is displaced into another outlet, not removed
  • The voice prompt is locked — one per character, pasted verbatim into the audio field, never adapted per scene
  • States, not transitions. Models fail process and nail state: "mid-throw, arm extended", not "reaches in, pulls out, winds up"
  • Ensemble reactions travel in a wave, never in sync; the strong are still and quiet, the weak fidget and shout
  • 15 named bad-acting symptoms with prompt-level fixes, and a 0–5 self-check scale — aim every hero shot at 4+

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.
