Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill is deprecated. Use the focused skills instead: create-video — Generate videos from a text prompt (Video Agent API) avatar-video — Build videos with specific avatars, voices, scripts, and scenes (v2 API) This skill remains for backward compatibility but will be removed in a future release. AI avatar video creation API for generating talking-head videos, explainers, and presentations.
If HeyGen MCP tools are available (mcp__heygen__*), prefer them over direct HTTP API calls — they handle authentication and request formatting automatically.

Prefer Video Agent for most video requests. Always use prompt-optimizer.md guidelines to structure prompts with scenes, timing, and visual styles. With MCP tools: Write an optimized prompt using prompt-optimizer.md → visual-styles.md Call mcp__heygen__generate_video_agent with prompt and config (duration_sec, orientation, avatar_id) Call mcp__heygen__get_video with the returned video_id to poll status and get the download URL Without MCP tools (direct API): Write an optimized prompt using prompt-optimizer.md → visual-styles.md POST /v1/video_agent/generate — see video-agent.md GET /v2/videos/<id> — see video-status.md Only use v2/video/generate when user explicitly needs: Exact script without AI modification Specific voice_id selection Different avatars/backgrounds per scene Precise per-scene timing control Programmatic/batch generation with exact specs
