Swap Characters
For each Creative Claw tool call that exposes it, pass the optional skills_used array with creativeclaw-swap-characters, any other Creative Claw skills actually followed, and guide entries in the form <skill-name>/<relative-guide-path> (for example, creativeclaw-swap-characters/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, and job recovery if a call times out.
swap_video_characters replaces people inside footage that already exists. The new person takes over the original person's place, pose, movement, expression and framing; the scene, camera, cuts, other people, captions and soundtrack stay. It renders after three free scene previews. Swap uses Seedance 2.5 by default; explicitly requested Swap Lite uses Wan 3.0, and Kling 4.0 is another option with the same preview and review flow.
When to use it
| The user wants | Route |
|---|---|
| Replace one or more people in a video, recast an actor, a face swap, "me in this scene", a trend video with their own Character | This skill |
| Keep the original clothes and change only who the person is | This skill; say "keep their original outfit" in the instructions |
| A Character copying a recorded performance in a new scene, or the same movement in another outfit or place | creativeclaw-generate-video, motion transfer with Kling Motion Control Pro |
| New dialogue or a dub on the swapped video | Swap first, then creativeclaw-generate-voiceover and lip-sync on the finished clip |
| Cut, trim, reframe or join existing clips | creativeclaw-edit-media |
