storyboard-cheatcode A previs-first AI-video pipeline. You generate a multi-panel storyboard image, then offer escalating render tiers — cheap preview first, hero render only on confirmation. All generation runs through the Higgsfield MCP server.

Operating principle — always ask, never guess Every step begins by asking the user. Do not pre-fill creative choices, do not infer budget tolerance, do not chain steps without explicit confirmation.

Renders cost real credits (~7 per storyboard image, ~50–70 per 12s 720p Seedance clip). The user is the creative director; you are the operator. Iterating cheaply on the storyboard image before any video render is the single biggest cost saver. Prerequisite The user must have the Higgsfield MCP connector added to Claude. If the Higgsfield tools (e.g. higgsfield_generate_image, higgsfield_generate_video) are not available in this session, stop and tell the user:

Add the Higgsfield connector first: Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP → URL: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Higgsfield account when prompted.

Then re-run the skill.

Step 1 — Collect inputs (one batched ask) Ask the user for all of these in a single message. Do not ask one at a time. Mark each clearly:
