avatar-single-scene

Use when someone wants one polished host-on-camera beat — a speaking person with intake and approval gates before generation.

Prerequisites

Install and load these skills before generating (skip if already in context via @pruna):

Skill	Description	Install
p-image	Use when someone explicitly wants the fastest, cheapest photo generation — mood boards, bulk panels, or quick iterations — not when controlled photoreal or in-image text is needed.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image -y
p-image-edit	Use when someone wants to edit an existing photo — change outfits or backgrounds, compose from reference images, or apply prompt-driven edits.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-edit -y
p-video-avatar	Use when someone wants a person on camera speaking a script — lip-synced host, spokesperson, or narrated avatar from a portrait photo.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-avatar -y
gemini-3.1-flash-tts	Use when someone needs spoken narration or voiceover — explainer tracks, documentary lines, or voice to pair with generated video.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@gemini-3.1-flash-tts -y

Or install the full suite once: npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna -y

Workflow habit

In every reply, name `avatar-single-scene` in backticks. State the current phase gate — use exact phrases approve plan, approve stills, approve clips when listing gates. Do not same-turn plan + paid video. Skip-review / burn-credits → follow generation-diversity Red flags.

Feedback gates (required)

Phase	What to show	Proceed when
0 — Plan	Full voice_script, voice, still + motion plan	approve plan
A — Still	Hero / portrait plate	approve still
B — Avatar	Single p-video-avatar clip	User accepts

Natural language script

Write voice_script as real dialogue: contractions, natural rhythm, short sentences—how a person talks on camera, not a press release. See avatar-multi-scene for good/bad examples.

voice_prompt must describe human delivery (pacing, warmth, founder/conversational tone)—never paste marketing copy or script lines into it.

Voice and image continuity

• voice / voice_language: Pick one preset pair for this clip’s speaker. If this character will appear again in a series or sequel clips, reuse the same presets so they sound like one person (same rule as the multi-scene skill’s cast ledger).
• Source portrait: Prefer one approved reference URL (upload or generated). If you explore alternate backgrounds or styles, branch with p-image-edit from that same URL plus deltas—do not reinvent the face with an unrelated p-image unless the user agrees to a new identity.

Intake: ask before generating

Open intake → generation-diversity clarification intake.

Do not call POST /v1/predictions until the user (or product owner) has answered these—record answers in the manifest:

Topic	Questions
Goal	What must this one clip communicate (single CTA, greeting, demo line)?
Media source	Upload-only portrait vs generate/refine still with p-image / p-image-edit first?
Script	Full voice_script as speakable copy—any mandatory pronunciation (names, acronyms)?
Voice	Which Pruna voice and voice_language? Keep voice_prompt short (performance vibe only).
Look	9:16 / 16:9 still? Avatar resolution 720p or 1080p?
Motion	Desired energy for video_prompt—specific camera angle and movement (positive wording only)?
Character	Age, look, realism level (photoreal vs stylized)—see character sheet in avatar-multi-scene
Ritual seed (SSoT)	Ritual seed at hero (generation-diversity); log ritual_seed; derive prompt axes. Identity continuity = approved plate URL. Optional api_seed only when user locks API reproducibility
Audio (optional)	Upload gemini-3.1-flash-tts for lip-sync via input.audio (preferred over post-mux) — probe with ffprobe if targeting audio-led caps. Or use native voice_script.

If any answer is missing and the user has not waived it, ask before generating.

Confirmation gate (mandatory)

After intake:

1. Show the full voice_script, chosen voice / voice_language, resolution, and a short description of the still + video_prompt plan.
2. Ask for explicit approval before calling the API (e.g. user replies go / approved).
3. If they edit the script, show the updated voice_script and confirm again when changes are material.

How the agent runs this

Once confirmed:

1. Upload refs → build still with curl (pruna-api) → slop gate → approve still.
2. Optional TTS → ffprobe → upload as input.audio.
3. One async p-video-avatar job → poll → download.
4. Manifest: intake, URLs, prediction ids, confirmed script snapshot.

Workflow (after confirmation)

1. References — Upload assets with POST /v1/files; collect Pruna file URLs.
2. Still (if needed) — Build one talking-head frame with p-image and/or p-image-edit. Run the slop gate before avatar.
3. Slop gate — generation-diversity checklists; fix with image models until pass.
4. Avatar — Call p-video-avatar with snake_case input (image, optional last_frame_image, voice_script or uploaded audio, voice, voice_language, voice_prompt, video_prompt, resolution, seed). Prefer uploaded audio from Gemini TTS when external narration quality matters. Async only (omit Try-Sync); poll to succeeded; download generation_url.
5. Manifest — Store intake answers, URLs, prediction ids, prompts, retries, confirmed script snapshot.
