ugc — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Plans and runs UGC-style video ads using the genmedia CLI. Suited for creator scripts, talking heads, product demos, and short vertical clips.
npx skills add fal-ai-community/skills --skill ugc -a claude-codeWhat ugc does
The skill drafts creator-style video concepts instead of polished studio commercials. It structures scripts into practical narrative beats, moving from a hook directly into product action. Fabricated claims, invented metrics, or fake testimonials are strictly forbidden unless you supply exact copy.
Execution relies on the genmedia command-line tool. The workflow inspects model schemas and pricing, uploads local media files like ./creator.jpg, and dispatches asynchronous generation jobs. It routes tasks to specific endpoints: veed/fabric-1.0 for talking heads, fal-ai/sync-lipsync/v2 for syncing audio to existing footage, and bytedance/seedance-2.0/image-to-video for b-roll motion.
You cannot run this skill without genmedia installed and configured. Face drift can occur on long avatars; the skill counters this by shortening script beats or reusing approved video references.
What it helps with
- Structure short vertical creator ads with a clear hook
- Animate portrait photos into talking-head videos from audio or text
- Re-sync lip motion on existing video footage using
fal-ai/sync-lipsync/v2 - Turn still product photos into moving b-roll clips
Example prompts for the agent
- Draft a 15-second 9:16 unboxing script for wireless earbuds with a 2-second hook.
- Upload
./creator.jpgand./voiceover.wavto generate a talking head usingveed/fabric-1.0. - Lip-sync
