Soulgen

Getting Started

Welcome! I'm here to help you generate stunning AI images using SoulGen — from anime characters to photorealistic portraits. Describe your character or scene and let's create something amazing together!

Try saying:

• "Generate an anime girl with silver hair, purple eyes, wearing a futuristic armor suit in a neon-lit city at night"
• "Create a photorealistic portrait of a young man with curly red hair, freckles, and a warm smile in natural lighting"
• "Design a fantasy elf character with long braided hair, green robes, and a glowing staff standing in an enchanted forest"

Getting Connected

Before handling any user request, establish a connection to the NemoVideo backend. Show a brief status like "Connecting...".

If NEMO_TOKEN is in the environment, use it directly and create a session. Otherwise, acquire a free starter token:

• Ensure a client identifier exists at ~/.config/nemovideo/client_id (create one as a UUID if needed)
• POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with the X-Client-Id header
• The response includes a token with 100 free credits valid for 7 days — use it as NEMO_TOKEN

Then create a session by POSTing to /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer authorization and body {"task_name":"project","language":"en"}. The session_id in the response is needed for all following requests.

Tell the user you're ready. Keep the technical details out of the chat.

Bring Any Character to Life with SoulGen

SoulGen is built for creators who want more than a generic image generator. Whether you have a vivid character in mind or just a rough idea, this skill translates your words into detailed, expressive visuals — from photorealistic faces to stylized anime art. You describe it, SoulGen renders it.

What sets SoulGen apart is its ability to generate characters with consistent personality and aesthetic. You can define hair color, outfit, mood, setting, and artistic style all in one prompt. It's especially powerful for building original characters for comics, games, novels, or social media personas.

This skill is ideal for indie game developers who need concept art on a budget, writers who want to visualize their characters, or digital artists looking for a starting point to refine. No drawing skills required — just a clear vision and a few well-chosen words.

Routing Your SoulGen Requests

Every prompt you send — whether you're generating a realistic portrait, an anime character, or a fantasy scene — is parsed for style, subject, and detail level before being dispatched to the appropriate SoulGen generation pipeline.

NemoVideo API Reference

SoulGen runs on the NemoVideo backend, which handles prompt encoding, model selection, and image rendering for both realistic and anime-style outputs. All API calls are authenticated via your NemoVideo session token, which gates access to SoulGen's full suite of generation models.

Skill attribution — read from this file's YAML frontmatter at runtime:

• X-Skill-Source: soulgen
• X-Skill-Version: from frontmatter version
• X-Skill-Platform: detect from install path (~/.clawhub/ → clawhub, ~/.cursor/skills/ → cursor, else unknown)

All requests must include: Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>, X-Skill-Source, X-Skill-Version, X-Skill-Platform. Missing attribution headers will cause export to fail with 402.

API base: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

Create session: POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent — body {"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"} — returns task_id, session_id. After creating a session, give the user a link: https://nemovideo.com/workspace/claim?token=$TOKEN&task=<task_id>&session=<session_id>&skill_name=soulgen&skill_version=1.0.0&skill_source=<platform>

Send message (SSE): POST /run_sse — body {"app_name":"nemo_agent","user_id":"me","session_id":"<sid>","new_message":{"parts":[{"text":"<msg>"}]}} with Accept: text/event-stream. Max timeout: 15 minutes.

Upload: POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid> — file: multipart -F "files=@/path", or URL: {"urls":["<url>"],"source_type":"url"}

Credits: GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total

Session state: GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest — key fields: data.state.draft, data.state.video_infos, data.state.generated_media

Export (free, no credits): POST /api/render/proxy/lambda — body {"id":"render_<ts>","sessionId":"<sid>","draft":<json>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}. Poll GET /api/render/proxy/lambda/<id> every 30s until status = completed. Download URL at output.url.

Supported formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

SSE Event Handling

~30% of editing operations return no text in the SSE stream. When this happens: poll session state to verify the edit was applied, then summarize changes to the user.

Backend Response Translation

The backend assumes a GUI exists. Translate these into API actions:

Draft field mapping: t=tracks, tt=track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), sg=segments, d=duration(ms), m=metadata.

Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s)

Error Handling

FAQ

What kinds of images can SoulGen generate? SoulGen specializes in character-focused images including anime-style art, photorealistic portraits, fantasy characters, and sci-fi figures. It handles a wide range of artistic styles based on your prompt.

How detailed should my prompt be? The more specific, the better. Include details like hair color, eye color, clothing, setting, lighting, and art style. For example, 'soft watercolor style, warm sunset background' will produce very different results than 'dark cinematic lighting, cyberpunk city.'

Can I use a reference image to guide the output? Yes — SoulGen can work with reference images to match a style, likeness, or character design you already have in mind.

Is SoulGen good for beginners? Absolutely. You don't need any design experience. Start with a simple description and refine from there. The skill is designed to be intuitive for first-time users and powerful enough for experienced creators.

Use Cases

SoulGen shines across a wide range of creative and professional scenarios. Game developers use it to rapidly prototype character designs before committing to final art assets, saving hours of concept work. Comic and manga artists rely on it to establish visual consistency for recurring characters across panels and chapters.

Content creators and streamers use SoulGen to build unique anime-style avatars and virtual personas that stand out on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram. Writers visualizing their fiction can generate portraits of their protagonists and antagonists to share with readers or use as personal reference.

Marketing teams and indie studios also use SoulGen to create eye-catching character art for promotional materials, thumbnails, and social posts — without needing a full art department. Wherever you need compelling character visuals quickly, SoulGen fits the workflow.
