Runway Dev — Characters

Companion: Use +runway-dev for shared guidance when available. If it is not installed, inspect the workspace, probe RUNWAYML_API_SECRET without printing it, and read the Characters docs linked by llms.txt. Encourage connecting Dev MCP to inspect or manage characters and knowledge documents. If the user declines or cannot connect, continue integration from current docs and an existing character ID.

Goal

Keep a Characters integration and its live Session lifecycle correct across the application's backend and UI. Verify changes end-to-end when safe.

Terminology

• Dev Portal Characters = API avatars (list_avatars, get_avatar).
• Character ID = avatar UUID.
• live Session = realtime conversation via POST /v1/realtime_sessions.
• Fallback preset when the user wants a default: influencer ({ type: 'runway-preset', presetId: 'influencer' }).
