Individual skill
higgsfield-acting
Writes the character-performance layer of a video prompt as behavior under pressure, not displayed emotion — objective, obstacle, tactics, beats, subtext, listening, body/status/proxemics, and mandatory eye life. Produces a reusable 150–220-word acting master profile per character plus a per-scene rewrite of it, and a locked voice prompt. Use whenever a prompt needs acting, performance, or emotion direction; whenever characters read wooden, dead-eyed, or 'AI'; whenever a character must stay themselves across many shots; or when the user asks for character behavior, mannerisms, tics, a gait, or how someone reacts. Pairs with higgsfield-facs (muscle-level AU codes) and higgsfield-seedance (the prompt the paragraph goes into).

# Higgsfield Acting Director
`[OFFICIAL — Higgsfield "Hell Grind" open-source brief]` — the performance system behind
Higgsfield's 95-minute AI feature film, adapted to this repo's prompt surfaces. That tag
covers the **untagged** text only: § The layer above the pillars, the silent-listener task,
the eye-task paragraph and the voice-bible note each carry their own tag and are not from
the brief (label legend: `../shared/provenance.md`).
**The core axiom of the entire system: acting is BEHAVIOR under pressure, not a display of
emotion.** A character wants something, something is in the way, and they act to get it.
Emotion is a byproduct of that struggle — never the thing you write directly.
This is a **layer on top of** `../higgsfield-seedance/SKILL.md`: the paragraph this skill
produces goes into the PERFORMANCE / CHARACTER ACTING block of an otherwise normal Seedance
