Avatar / UGC

Mission

Produce a consented presenter or UGC-style draft from an authorized avatar image/video, script, and audio source. Keep visual identity, voice identity, spoken words, disclosure, and delivery format explicit. This skill does not authorize impersonation or publish synthetic media.

Consent gate

Before processing a real person's likeness or voice, confirm authorization for this production and intended distribution. Do not create non-consensual impersonation, sexualized deepfakes, deceptive political speech, or a minor's likeness. Record whether consent is unknown, claimed, verified, or approved for publication. A public profile or supplied file is not consent.

Collect:

• avatar/person ID and authorized image/video reference;
• script, pronunciation, language, captions, CTA, and disclosure text;
• audio source: supplied recording, approved generated speech, or silence;
• presenter framing, gesture, background, duration, ratio, and platform;
• rights for avatar, voice, music, logos, and location; and
• review owner, variant count, and cost/approval boundary.

Choose the path

Inputs	Preferred path	Notes
Existing presenter video + authorized audio	media.lipsync	preserve the parent video and inspect mouth/face sync
Authorized still/avatar image + audio	LTX or another live image/audio lipsync schema	use the current model schema; do not assume every lipsync tool accepts images
Image/video plus action or performance brief	media.generate_video	use I2V/reference input, then inspect identity drift
No voice audio yet	adjacent voice agent or available speech capability	voice authorization and script approval still required

Use MODELS.md and a live schema check. The current catalog contains more than one lipsync family and they accept different required URLs. The generic lipsync contract requires video and audio URLs; LTX 2.3's lipsync schema requires audio and may accept an image. Resolve exact fields through muapi-video-tools.md.

Execute

1. Freeze the approved script. Mark every line as supplied, approved, or proposed; never add a factual claim for fluency.
2. Upload local image, video, and audio inputs. Record roles, rights state, returned URLs, and expiry expectation without storing raw secrets.
3. Check duration and segmentation. Split long speech into intentional segments only when the selected provider supports a reliable assembly path; preserve words and order across segments.
4. Submit the selected job, retain its prediction ID, and poll or receive the result. Never silently switch a lip-sync job to a talking-avatar generator.
5. Review mouth timing, phonemes, eyes, facial boundaries, head/hand motion, identity, background, captions, audio artifacts, and synthetic disclosure.
6. Return the draft with a clear disclosure recommendation when a real person or generated voice is involved.

Use video QA and preserve parent/child links. If audio and video cannot be synchronized acceptably, report the failure and offer a new take or conventional edit rather than stretching speech silently.

Output contract

Return script/version, avatar and audio roles, consent state, model/endpoint, prediction ID, output URL, status, duration, caption/disclosure treatment, audio provenance, QA findings, and failed segments. Store a receipt under .video/ only when permitted using reports-and-receipts.md.

Publishing, creator outreach, and platform disclosure submission are outside this skill.
