Higgsfield Cartoon Skill
What this skill does
Crafts production-ready cartoon and animation video prompts and routes them to the best
Higgsfield model for stylized animated output. On request, it assembles the full
parameter set, surfaces the credit cost, and — after explicit user confirmation —
generates the asset via the opt-in generation flow.
Whether crafting whimsical character animations, dynamic action sequences, or minimalist
motion graphics, this skill provides frameworks, templates, and creative guidance
drawing on 15+ animation style encyclopedias, the 12 core animation principles, hook
frameworks, and worked example prompts.
Model routing
Primary and fallback video models
|
wan2_7 (primary) |
seedance_2_0 (fallback) |
| Rationale |
Clean stylized output for cartoon and animation styles |
Use only when primary is unavailable, or user needs genre tags / shorter minimum |
| Resolution |
720p, 1080p |
480p, 720p, 1080p (def 720p) |
| Aspect ratios |
16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 |
auto, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 |
| Duration |
2–15 s (continuous range) — minimum 2 s |
4–15 s (continuous range) — minimum 4 s |
| Tunable params |
None beyond resolution and aspect |
mode {std,fast}, genre {auto,action,horror,comedy,noir,drama,epic} |
| Media roles |
start_image, end_image, audio |
image, start_image, end_image, video, audio |
Routing rule: Use wan2_7 by default. Only fall back to seedance_2_0 when (1) the
primary model is unavailable, or (2) the user explicitly accepts seedance_2_0's
constraints after being told what they give up: minimum clip duration becomes 4 s
(cannot generate 2-3 s clips). Gain: genre tag for comedy/drama bias, and image/
video media roles. If the user has not been informed of these trade-offs, stay on
wan2_7 and let them decide — never switch silently.
MODEL-06 directive: If a parameter is rejected at generation time, call
higgsfield:models_explore with the target model name to re-verify the live schema.
Full parameter tables: references/model-specs.md.
Per-platform quick rule
Vertical 9:16 for TikTok / Reels / Shorts; 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn; 1:1
for Instagram feed. wan2_7's 2-second minimum suits ultra-short social hooks. Full
per-platform table: references/model-specs.md.
Prompt-building workflow
Gather intent — Confirm with the user: cartoon style (Disney, Cartoon Network,
flat vector, Ghibli, pixel art, etc.), character/subject, tone (comedic, whimsical,
dramatic), target platform, aspect ratio, and desired duration.
Select model — Apply the routing table above. Choose wan2_7 by default;
select seedance_2_0 only when a routing trigger applies.
Build the prompt — Use the craft principles in the references below:
- Opening hook (2-second cartoon attention-capture technique) from
references/hooks.md
- Art style, animation principles, color palette, character design from
references/animation-craft.md
- Worked example prompts by style from
references/examples.md
Present for review — Show the assembled prompt and all parameters to the user for
review and refinement before any generation call. The user must approve the prompt
text, model, aspect ratio, and duration.
Opt-in generation
Generation costs Higgsfield credits and requires explicit user confirmation before any
generate call is made. This skill never auto-generates.
Full step-by-step flow (confirmation gate, balance/cost surface,
generate → poll → display):
../../shared/generation-flow.md
This skill's primary model: wan2_7
Media upload: Conditional — only when the user supplies a start_image, end_image,
or audio reference. This skill is NOT a mandatory-I2V skill; T2V is the default path.
When the user provides a reference file, run the higgsfield:media_upload →
higgsfield:media_confirm atomic pair before generating.
