Higgsfield Scene Engine — is this scene worth generating?

[DEMO — Tigran (tig-scene-engine), 2026-06-26] [UNPROVEN HERE] These definitions are bespoke and deliberately not the textbook ones. Apply them as written; do not substitute standard screenwriting glosses, which are looser and will pass scenes this engine fails.

Why a prompter carries this. Every shot costs credits and iterations. A structurally dead scene generates just as cleanly as a live one — the model has no opinion about whether a beat earns its place — so the failure surfaces only after the footage exists and the cut does not build. This skill is the cheapest pass in the repo: it runs on text, before any generation, and its whole job is to stop you paying to render a scene that cannot work.

It decides which shots deserve the spend. higgsfield-shotlist-director turns the settled scene into shots; higgsfield-acting writes the performance inside them.
