Higgsfield’s 11 Production Skills: AI Work You Can Keep Editing
Claude can help build 3D scenes, remove unwanted objects, composite shots, and grade footage while leaving projects you can keep editing. What can these skills handle, and what do you need to prepare?
Give Claude a Blender scene and ask it to reveal a device’s casing, keys, and internal components layer by layer. Give it some studio footage and ask it to remove the lighting stands while keeping the result consistent with the camera’s movement. Higgsfield’s new Production Skills Bundle aims to let production tasks like these start with a specific request.
Higgsfield has introduced a set of production skills for Claude Opus 5.5: building 3D scenes, creating visual effects, cleaning up shots, and grading footage. The bundle contains 11 workflows spanning Blender, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, TouchDesigner, and DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Why editability matters when bringing AI assets into production
An image that looks right and an image that is easy to revise are two different things. Suppose you want an object removed from a scene. If the changes live in separate layers and masks, you can adjust the affected area. If everything has been flattened into one image, it is harder to control the original elements individually.
The same applies to video. A final video is easy to play, but production teams also need a project they can keep adjusting: where a shot begins, how layers are combined, and which section an effect applies to should all be easy to find.
This explains several seemingly different but closely related requirements in the bundle: Blender saves editable scenes; After Effects keeps the composition project; Photoshop retains layered PSDs; Illustrator preserves paths and groups; and Resolve keeps grading nodes. Think of nodes as a series of processing steps with distinct jobs, making it easier to return to a particular step and adjust it.
An editable project turns one round of changes into the starting point for the next.

Choose a workflow according to the task you want to complete. Explain the goal, reference assets, preferred tools, output format, and duration so that Claude can select the appropriate process.
Four Blender tasks: making motion and style adjustable
Destruction simulation: decide what breaks and what causes it
/Destruction-Studio starts with three questions: what should be destroyed, what triggers the destruction, and how long the shot should last. It then covers fracturing, breakable connections, debris physics, dust, and camera placement.
Where an object splits, where the debris goes, and where the camera looks from determine whether the destruction reads clearly on screen. Preview the simulation, adjust the fractures, debris, and camera, then save the Blender project. Destruction workflow
Disassembly and assembly: showing how components fit together
/Exploded-view starts with an existing Blender scene, inspects its components, separates them for display, and assembles them in a clear sequence. An “exploded view” is a way to show a product’s structure; it serves a different purpose from the destruction simulation above.
Key connections should face the camera, and components should separate and return in sequence so viewers can see how they fit together. Final geometry, materials, lighting, and object positions remain as they were in the original scene. Exploded-view workflow
Scene building: arranging space and cameras with existing assets
/Scene-Builder uses available character, building, and prop assets to arrange a space around the setting, main action, and visual style. It poses characters that are already rigged and suggests camera positions.
“Rigged” means a character already has a structure for controlling its pose, so those controls can be reused. Characters, buildings, and props also remain separate in the scene, allowing further changes to the layout and camera positions. Scene-building workflow
Cartoon materials: turning a style into settings you can adjust
/Cartoon-shaders builds reusable materials around a style reference, exposing controls for shadows, color transitions, textures, and outlines. It also preserves objects’ original colors and checks the result through an actual render.
Materials determine how surfaces respond to light and display color and texture. Making shadows, color transitions, and outlines adjustable provides specific controls for refining the style. Cartoon-material workflow
Editing and compositing: much of the work comes after generating a video
Premiere: organize the footage so editing can begin
/Project-sorter places footage in clearly organized bins by shooting day and media type, then creates clearly named sequences. A sequence is the editing timeline where shots and sound are arranged.
Separately recorded audio can be aligned with the picture when reliable sync information is available; clips requiring manual review are flagged. The result is an organized starting point with clearly named sequences, while original files and existing edits are preserved. Project-organization workflow
After Effects compositing: making different sources belong in the same shot
/Shot-Composer first establishes the intended look, determines what keying, tracking, and cleanup are needed, then matches lighting, atmosphere, depth of field, motion blur, and grain.
Keying separates the subject you need from the image. Tracking captures the movement of an object or camera so that other visual layers can follow it. Even a cleanly isolated subject can look pasted on if its lighting, sharpness, or motion blur does not match the background.
Missing visual layers are generated when necessary, while existing assets remain part of the composition. Both the preview and the AE project are retained. Shot-compositing workflow
After Effects cleanup: one clean frame is not enough
/Shot-Cleanup examines the movement of unwanted elements you specify, creates tracked masks or cleanup layers as needed, and preserves surrounding texture, lighting, and camera movement.
A mask defines the area to change; tracking lets that area move with the footage. Watch the entire shot after cleanup: does the replacement texture move with the background, does brightness change abruptly, and are there visible patches or flicker? Shot-cleanup workflow
2D design: keeping individual elements editable
Illustrator: the paths still need to be useful after conversion
/Vectorize converts raster illustrations into editable vector artwork. Raster images consist of pixels; vector artwork describes shapes with paths, making their contours easier to adjust.
The conversion preserves composition, colors, and key shapes, organizes paths into groups, subgroups, and layers, removes stray elements, and saves an AI file. Specify which details must remain before simplifying: this helps reduce cluttered paths without losing important contours. Vectorization workflow
Photoshop: fix the areas that need work while preserving the composition
/Image-fixer works on generated scene images. It first asks which objects to remove, which textures to repair, and what lighting is wanted. Changes are selectively blended through editable masks, preserving the composition and layers before saving a PSD.
When most of a scene already looks right, changes can stay local, with further control over the mask area and the degree of blending. Image-repair workflow
Effects and grading: keeping clear controls for each adjustment
/use-touchdesigner asks for an image or video, a style reference, the output format, and the duration. It then builds an editable network with controls for the main effects, previews and adjusts it using the source media, and exports the result while saving the project.
A TouchDesigner network connects a series of visual-processing nodes. The main effects have corresponding controls that can be adjusted while previewing. TouchDesigner workflow
/color-grading targets DaVinci Resolve Studio. It begins with exposure and white balance, then handles contrast, saturation, natural skin tones, and matching between shots. It calls for a clear node structure and preservation of the original grade in a separate version.
Shot matching matters when footage is watched as a sequence: two shots may each look good on their own but jump between warm and cool, or bright and dark, when placed together. Keeping nodes and previous versions makes it easier to refine the grade or compare changes. Color-grading workflow
Three things to prepare before starting
Set up the software and connections first. Open Claude Desktop on the same computer as the target production software, enable Higgsfield, and confirm that its tools are available. Blender and Adobe applications have corresponding /use-… setup entries; for TouchDesigner and Resolve, check the local tools and the relevant workflow instructions.
Then provide your assets and project. Supply the media, project files, and visual references, and explain exactly what you want changed.
Finally, specify the deliverables. Include the output format, duration, elements that must remain intact, and the project files you expect to receive. “Make it look better” is a poor substitute for these details.
You can fill in this template to make the task specific:
@Higgsfield
I want to complete: [specific task].
Source assets and project: [files and their locations].
Reference look: [reference and the aspects to draw from].
Preferred software: [application name].
Output requirements: [format, frame dimensions; duration for video].
Must preserve: [existing composition, colors, object positions, edits, etc.].
Please select an appropriate workflow from the Production Skills Bundle.
First confirm that the local software, required integrations, and workflow are available. Ask about missing information before proceeding.
Preserve existing work and retain editable scenes, layers, paths, timelines, or grading nodes wherever possible.
Provide a preview first, and save a project that can be edited further alongside the deliverables.
The most useful direction in this bundle
These 11 skills handle specific stages of production: organizing assets, arranging scenes, compositing shots, fixing local problems, and handing the project back to you.
For creators, a useful test is to ask for one more change: a different camera angle, an adjusted mask, or a changed color. Can the work continue from the existing project? When revisions remain straightforward after the first version, AI’s work is easier to bring into a real production.
