Overview

This skills package provides Claude Code with domain-specific knowledge about the HeyGen API, enabling it to:

• Generate AI avatar videos with precise control (v2 API)
• Create videos from simple prompts using Video Agent
• Optimize prompts for better Video Agent results
• Work with avatars, voices, and backgrounds
• Handle video translation and dubbing
• Manage streaming avatars for real-time interaction
• Create photo avatars (talking photos)
• Integrate with Remotion for programmatic video composition
• Configure webhooks and callbacks

Installation

Option 1: Using add-skill CLI (Recommended)

Install using the add-skill CLI:

# Install to Claude Code globally
npx skills add heygen-com/skills -a claude-code -g

# Or install to current project only
npx skills add heygen-com/skills -a claude-code

# List available skills first
npx skills add heygen-com/skills --list

This works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 13 other agents.

Option 2: Manual Installation

Clone and symlink to your Claude skills directory:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/heygen-com/skills.git

# Symlink to personal skills (available in all projects)
ln -s $(pwd)/skills/skills/heygen ~/.claude/skills/heygen

# OR symlink to project skills (available in current project only)
mkdir -p .claude/skills
ln -s $(pwd)/skills/skills/heygen .claude/skills/heygen

Option 3: Direct Copy

Copy the skill directly to your project:

git clone https://github.com/heygen-com/skills.git
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r skills/skills/heygen .claude/skills/
