# Skeleton Hand Candy

A sweet little scare. You crouch by a pumpkin pile handing out treats when a tiny white skeleton hand rises from a pumpkin holding a candy — you freeze, take it carefully, and it gives you a happy thumbs-up.

## When to use

- The user wants a cute Halloween video from their photo where a little skeleton hand pops out of a pumpkin to offer them candy (spooky-cute pumpkin surprise, skeleton thumbs-up clip)
- Another take with a different length or orientation

Not for: Still images only.

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | Yes | — | One adult with the face clearly visible. Ask for another photo if the face is tiny, blurred, heavily covered or in profile |
| Duration | No | `6` s | 6 or 10 |
| Orientation | No | `9:16` portrait | Other ratios on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Video does not allow NSFW content: keep wardrobe fully covering and refuse sexual requests. Suggestive fashion looks stay as still images.

## Steps

1. Read `references/video-motion.md`.
2. **Identity read**: `recognize_image(image_url=<photo>, prompt='Describe this adult for identity preservation: face shape, eye shape and color, brows, nose, lips, skin tone, apparent age range, hair color and length, distinctive marks, glasses. One compact line.')`.
3. **Keyframe**: `generate_image(prompt=<KEYFRAME>, input_urls=[photo], model='i2i.hd', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='9:16', name='Skeleton Hand Candy keyframe', entity_type='work_in_progress')`. If the face drifts, regenerate once.
4. **Video**: `generate_video(prompt=<MOTION>, input_urls=[keyframe], model='i2v', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='9:16', duration=<d>, name='Skeleton Hand Candy', entity_type='final_videos')`. Pass only the keyframe, never the original upload.
5. Reply in one or two sentences, e.g. "Done! Here's your skeleton hand candy. I can also try a 10-second cut if you like." Results appear on the canvas; never paste URLs.

## Prompt templates

**KEYFRAME**

```text
The same adult from the reference: <identity line>. Same face structure, eyes, skin tone and recognizable likeness; no beautification or face reshaping. Opening frame of this scene: the same adult person crouches beside a stack of carved pumpkins on a leafy porch at Halloween dusk handing out candy; a small white cartoonishly cute skeleton hand slowly reaches out of the top of one pumpkin holding a wrapped candy in its palm; the person freezes wide-eyed, carefully picks up the candy, and the skeleton hand flashes a cheerful thumbs-up before sinking back, warm candlelight and string lights, gentle comedic timing, fully clothed. Posed for motion, clear subject, cinematic light. Nothing from the original photo's background remains.
```

**MOTION** (motion only; the frame already shows the look)

```text
Starting from this exact frame: <one clear motion arc for this concept: the same adult person crouches beside a stack of carved pumpkins on a leafy porch at Halloween dusk handing out candy; a small white cartoonishly cute skeleton hand slowly reaches out of the top of one pumpkin holding a wrapped candy in its palm; the person freezes wide-eyed, carefully picks up the candy, and the skeleton hand flashes a cheerful thumbs-up before sinking back, warm candlelight and string lights, gentle comedic timing, fully clothed>, beginning, peak and settle in one continuous shot. Camera: <one move: slow push-in, gentle orbit, or static>. The same face and outfit throughout. Cinematic, no text.
```

## Failure handling

- `success=false`: say what failed in one sentence; retry once only if transient; never invent links.
- Content-policy rejection on video: soften wording and retry once; otherwise offer the keyframe as a still.
- Identity drifts: offer to regenerate.

## Examples

**Default**: the user says "use this pic" with a photo. Use the tuned
