Creative Claw

For each Creative Claw tool call that exposes it, pass the optional skills_used array with creativeclaw, any other Creative Claw skills actually followed, and guide entries in the form <skill-name>/<relative-guide-path> (for example, creativeclaw/references/workflow-basics.md). Include only skills and guides followed for that call. Omit attribution if the user declines tracking or the field is unavailable. Never send other plugin names, private data, or local paths.

Not connected yet? If no Creative Claw tools (such as list_models or generate_image) are available, the plugin is installed but the server is not connected. Stop and give the user the click path: open the Creative Claw plugin page in Claude, then the Connectors tab, press Connect, press Add if an "Add custom connector" dialog opens, and sign in. In Claude Code they run /mcp instead. Then they ask again. Do not substitute other tools or describe a result that was not generated.

Read shared execution guidance once per task before using tools. It covers existing authorization, model discovery, optional cost checks, imports, and recovery.

Use the Creative Claw MCP server as a media workspace: source durable assets, apply a brand theme, choose a model by capability, generate or process media, and save results for reuse.

Account and billing questions

Use manage_account for the current balance and for recent generations with their recorded charges and refunds. Read account and cost guidance before interpreting charges. Use estimate_generation for future quotes, not the cost of a past generation. Do not submit feedback automatically for an account question.

Purchases and plans are handled on the Creative Claw website, not in chat. Do not start, price, or recommend a purchase; if asked, say so and share only an account link a tool returned.

Operating rules

1. Reuse assets when relevant. Use search_assets when the request refers to saved media, an existing project, or identity/product continuity. Skip asset searches for standalone generation with no reuse requirement. Use get_theme for branded work.
2. Discover only what is missing. Use list_models({ category }) when choosing or checking availability; use get_model_params for a known selected model. Reuse current-task schemas until a model/operation changes or an error indicates they need refreshing.
3. Use durable references. Read references/platform-upload.md before importing attached or local media. Pass Creative Claw URLs to generation and processing tools.
4. Keep exact control syntax intact. Preserve approved references, dialogue, timecodes, and layout instructions. Speech receives the exact performed script in text.
5. Respect the user’s requested scope and budget. Use estimate_generation only when the user asks about cost, balance, affordability, or supplies a budget constraint. An estimate is information for the user: share it, then continue with the requested work when it fits what they said. Ask about material scope changes, missing essential choices, and whenever a tool result asks for confirmation.
6. Treat queued work as unfinished. The inline viewer may monitor a generation for the user. Call check_job when another tool needs the completed URL, or when no viewer is monitoring the job. Never claim completion from a job ID alone.
7. Organize outputs. Give assets meaningful metadata when the tool supports it; otherwise use update_asset after completion. Use stable tags across a project.
8. Do not invent tools or parameters. If a tool is absent on the current client, follow references/platform-client.md. Use the exposed tool schema for top-level fields and get_model_params for model-specific settings.
9. Capture actionable feedback. Use submit_feedback for bugs, missing features or models, confusing flows, generation-quality problems and praise that the user expresses or you observe. Say briefly that you reported it, and do not report when the user asks you not to. Keep reports specific and do not add refund requests. Read references/workflows/feedback.md before reporting.
10. Match the user's language. Conduct the workflow in the user's language, preserve supplied scripts and visible copy exactly, and verify the selected model supports the requested spoken or rendered language.
11. Use the examples catalog only on request. When the user asks to browse examples or prompt ideas, follow examples guidance. Do not search the catalog before every generation, and leave variations and user-supplied style references to the generation skill. For speech voices, use get_model_params and the voiceover workflow.
12. Keep HTML and motion-graphics video explicit. Use creativeclaw-render-html when the user explicitly asks for HTML/CSS, HyperFrames, or code-driven rendering, supplies HTML, accepts that method, or explicitly asks for a motion-graphics video: motion graphics, kinetic typography, animated text or titles, an animated infographic or explainer, or UI-style animation. A request for a video, an ad, or an explainer without those words stays with the video skills; when it is unclear whether the user wants filmed-looking footage or designed motion, ask one question. It also finds HTML-video examples. An exact text watermark for overlay_images may use render_html_image with a transparent background. Ordinary image or video requests stay with the generative skills.

Use an explicit outcome over a generic modality. If the user names a model, keep the outcome skill in control and use the matching packaged model reference for prompt and reference details. Use this root skill for requests that span outcomes or do not have one clear owner. Read the matching workflow before calling a mutating or paid tool.

Default model policy

• Images: default to image/nano-banana-2 (Nano Banana 2) for most generation and editing, including targeted corrections that should preserve the existing scene. It balances quality, speed, and cost. Use image/gpt-image-2.5-flare for fast OpenAI image work, and use image/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst for complex professional assets, typography, and controlled edits. Use image/seedream-5-pro for product and marketing imagery. Nano Banana Pro remains available when explicitly selected. After a model moderation refusal, Seedream may also be offered as the tool's suggested alternative, with user confirmation before another paid generation; it applies its own safety checks and may still reject the request. For a transparent background, use GPT Image 2.5 (Flare or Sunburst) with its transparent background option, or remove_background. Use other image models only when the user asks for them.
• Video: default to video/gemini-omni-flash. Recommend video/seedance-2.5 as the premium cinematic model for native-audio, high-end, reference-rich, first/last-frame or long (up to 30 s) work; for a cheaper preview, a 480p request is a usable draft, and extras.draft_job_id finalizes that same take at 1080p within 7 days (720p starts a new take). Use video/minimax-h3-max for fast cinematic native-audio work, or video/flux-3-max for text, first/last frames or timed image keyframes (5 to 20 seconds at 720p/1080p). FLUX accepts no video/audio references; keep H3 Max or Seedance 2.5 for those. Both H3 Max and FLUX 3 Max are available before purchase and eligible for the free first video. Use video/minimax-h3-max-turbo (H3 Max Fast) for cheap, fast drafts. Use Seedance Mini only when the user asks for it. For existing footage, route through references/workflows/edit-video.md instead of applying this generation ranking; video/minimax-h3-max-extend is the default for extending a clip. Never recommend or proactively route to an LTX or DreamActor model. Use Wan only when explicitly requested; recommend Seedance 2.5 instead. For document or webpage briefs, read the content and prepare a Seedance prompt with supported media references; do not pass Wan's file_url or web_url fields to Seedance.
• Speech: default to speech/elevenlabs-v4 for all non-cloned speech, including stock voices, expressive delivery, and dialogue. Speak a clone with its provider's model: a Cartesia clone with speech/cartesia-sonic; an ElevenLabs clone with speech/elevenlabs-v2 for a steady read or speech/elevenlabs-v4 for expressive delivery or dialogue. New clones use Cartesia unless the user chooses ElevenLabs. Designed voices speak with speech/elevenlabs-v4 (ElevenLabs designs) or speech/gemini-3.8-flash-tts (Google designs). To change who is speaking in an existing recording, use speech/cartesia-voice-changer. ElevenLabs v3 is legacy; use it only when the user asks for it. Never clone without consent or silently switch providers. Honor explicitly requested supported models. Load creativeclaw-generate-voiceover for the selected model's reference and current settings.
• Audio: use generate_sound_effect with sfx/elevenlabs-sound-v2 for sound effects, Foley, ambience, and loops. Use generate_music for scores, music beds, stings, jingles, and songs; creativeclaw-generate-music picks the music model. Do not pass non-speech model IDs to generate_speech.

Verify missing capabilities with runtime discovery, then reuse the selected schema for unchanged operations within the task.

For image prompting, load the selected image model reference. Video outcome skills package their selected video model references. For speech, load creativeclaw-generate-voiceover and only its selected model guide. There are no standalone model skills; the outcome workflow owns authorization, execution and delivery.

Shared production pattern

1. Clarify the deliverable, audience, duration or dimensions, and required references.
2. Search the asset library when saved media, project reuse, or continuity matters; skip the search for standalone generation. Import supplied references only when needed. Search curated examples only when the user asks for them, and load only the selected one.
3. Fetch the selected theme for branded work.
4. Inspect available models and the chosen model's parameters.
5. State consequential settings briefly; honor the approvals the user already gave and the review stages they asked for.
6. Generate or process the media.
7. Resolve any queued job needed by later steps.
8. Inspect the result, revise deliberately, and preserve approved anchors.
9. Name, tag, and describe the final assets.

Default visual preparation for video

For new generative video, follow the selected video skill's reference-first workflow: one clean keyframe per shot with generate_image at the video's aspect ratio, built from approved identity, product, or location anchors, then pass it to the video model. Later keyframes also take the first approved keyframe as a reference so the shots match. Tell the user the plan includes one keyframe image per shot before making them. Skip them when the user asks for direct text-to-video, supplies a ready shot image, or is editing footage.
