higgsfield-generate — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited higgsfield-generate (Agent Skill) and scored it 87/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

Submit jobs to any Higgsfield model. Wraps the higgsfield CLI. Covers generic image/video gen and Marketing Studio (branded ads, avatars, products).

Use brand context to inform model choice and prompt style where relevant. All files are optional — zero-context operation is fine.higgsfield account status. If not on $PATH, surface install command (see Optional dependency section). If session expired, prompt auth.This skill requires the @higgsfield/cli binary and a Higgsfield account.
Without the CLI installed, return a clear actionable error:
higgsfield CLI not found. Install with:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/higgsfield-ai/cli/main/install.sh | sh
Then authenticate:
higgsfield auth loginWithout an authed Higgsfield account, the CLI itself surfaces the auth prompt — no special handling needed in the skill.
Fallback for image generation only: if the user just needs a one-off image and doesn't have a Higgsfield account, route them to image-gen (Gemini, model gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview, free tier). Video generation, Marketing Studio, Soul Characters, and product modes have no fallback — they require Higgsfield.
Before any other command, make sure the CLI is installed and authenticated:
higgsfield is not on $PATH, install it: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/higgsfield-ai/cli/main/install.sh | shhiggsfield account status fails with Session expired / Not authenticated, ask the user to run higgsfield auth login (interactive, opens a browser) and wait for them to confirm before continuing.Skip both checks if higgsfield account status already prints account info.

| Flag | Use for | Models that accept it |
|---|---|---|

--start-image <path-or-id> | first frame for image-to-video transitions | kling3_0, kling2_6, veo3_1, seedance_2_0, marketing_studio_video |

--video <path-or-id> | reference video | seedance_2_0 |
--audio <path-or-id> | reference audio (lipsync, soundtrack match) | seedance_2_0 (use this, NOT --generate-audio) |
Each flag accepts either a local file path (auto-uploaded) or a UUID. See references/media-inputs.md for the full table.

--waitResolution is 480p or 720p. Aspect ratio: auto/21:9/16:9/4:3/1:1/3:4/9:16. --generate-audio true is supported here. Bump --wait-timeout 30m for longer ad runs.
When the user gives a product URL and wants a marketing video in one go:
# 1. Trigger fetch (returns the product id and starts background scrape)
higgsfield marketing-studio products fetch --url https://shop.example.com/sneakers --wait
# 2. Generate the marketing video against the same URL — backend reuses the entity
higgsfield generate create marketing_studio_video \
--url https://shop.example.com/sneakers \
--mode ugc \
--duration 15 \
--aspect_ratio 9:16 \
--waitBackend dedupes by URL, so repeated runs reuse the existing entity instead of re-fetching.
Same as above but use marketing_studio_image model:
higgsfield generate create marketing_studio_image \

--waitMissing required params: prompt → user gave no prompt; ask for it.Invalid values: aspect_ratio=99:99 (allowed: ...) → bad enum; pick from allowed.Unknown params: foo → schema doesn't accept that flag; check higgsfield model get <jst>.Session expired → higgsfield auth login.See references/troubleshooting.md for more.
| Anti-pattern | Why it fails | Instead |
|---|---|---|
Using higgsfield-generate for product photoshoots | Bypasses the mode-specific prompt enhancer — output is noticeably lower quality for product brand imagery. | Route to higgsfield-product-photoshoot any time a product + specific output format is involved. |
| Batching all context questions upfront | Users disengage when asked 5 things at once. Model choice and media inputs can often be inferred. | Ask at most one clarifying question before submitting. Pick a sensible default. |
Using --generate-audio with seedance_2_0 | The flag isn't accepted by Seedance — it silently breaks. | Use --audio <path> for Seedance lipsync/soundtrack; use --generate-audio true only for marketing_studio_video. |
| Printing raw job JSON to chat | Dumps internal IDs and noise. Users want a URL. | Always extract and present only the result URL plus a one-line summary. |
| Picking the wrong model then iterating blind | Costs money and time. | Read references/model-catalog.md first, pick the right model once. |
