kimodo-motion-diffusion — Claude Code skill: 3D motion from text

A skill that wires the Kimodo kinematic diffusion model into your agent for 3D human and humanoid robot motion from text prompts and constraints. Expect roughly 17GB of VRAM.

What kimodo-motion-diffusion does

This skill gives the agent Kimodo, a kinematic motion diffusion model trained on mocap data. You drive it with text and kinematic constraints: full-body keyframes, end-effector position and rotation, 2D root paths and waypoints. Model weights pull from Hugging Face the first time you run something.

Two CLI tools ship with it. kimodo_gen generates motion from the command line; kimodo_demo opens a web demo at http://127.0.0.1:7860 with a timeline editor, path and waypoint editing, and 3D visualization. A Python API is there too — Kimodo, ConstraintSet, FullBodyKeyframe, EndEffectorConstraint. Output lands as NPZ, as a qpos CSV for the G1 robot in MuJoCo, or as an AMASS-compatible NPZ for SMPL-X.

Linux is the supported host; on Windows you go through Docker. Without a GPU of about 17GB VRAM nothing generates — the authors point at RTX 3090, 4090 or A100. Install into a clean environment: pip install -e . inside a clone of the repo, or build the Docker image.

What it helps with

  • generate a 3D human motion from a text description
  • produce a walking animation for a Unitree G1 robot
  • pin keyframes and a hand position inside a motion
  • export motion to AMASS or qpos formats
  • chain several prompts into one transition sequence

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a human motion for the prompt "a person walks forward at a moderate pace", 4 seconds long
  • Make the G1 robot walk and save qpos to ./outputs/walk.csv
  • Launch the Kimodo interactive demo so I can place keyframes
