Unattended Live Avatar

Turn one authorized likeness and voice into a night-shift set of loopable talking-head clips. The first run may create the voice. Later nights reuse it.

Scope and adjacent routes

Use this Skill when a shop wants unattended or overnight talking-avatar clips it can loop: welcome, product, FAQ, and close.

Route weekly founder thought-leadership to founder-ip-avatar-studio. Route a one-off presenter clip with no loop plan to talking-avatar-video. Route scripts, cards, or demo audio without a talking-head to live-commerce-script-studio. Route a lecture series with many lessons to course-video-studio. Without authorization for the likeness and the voice, stop at confirmation and do not generate.

Inputs and defaults

The hard inputs are:

• one accessible portrait the host Agent can inspect;
• either an approved speech track or short scripts plus a voice path;
• whether the user owns or has been granted rights to the likeness and the voice.

Reuse language, destination, framing, slot labels, and the frozen voice_id from earlier nights. Default to the welcome, product, FAQ, and close slots the user asked for, model: "auto" for video, the portrait as the strict first frame, and a source-derived aspect ratio. Ask only for a missing hard input or an unstated slot the user did not already name.

Golden path

1. Inspect the portrait. Record MIME type, width, height, aspect ratio, byte size, and whether it has an alpha channel. Confirm likeness rights. For a local portrait or sample, upload only through the bundled client after inspection. Never pass a local path to a remote tool.

2. If the shop still needs a cloned voice, confirm consent first. Access to a file is not consent. A suitable sample is currently about 10 to 300 seconds, no larger than 20 MiB, and clean single-speaker speech. Call beatra.models.list with {"capability":"voice_clone"} and show the clone admission card before any clone client_request_id or beatra.voices.clone call: route voice_clone, tool beatra.voices.clone, live price for one successful activated voice, the provisional estimate, the 600-credit signup gift usually cannot start this clone, https://console.beatra.ai/topup, and starter ¥29 / 11,000 credits. Do not recommend ¥198. Do not create client_request_id or submit until the user confirms they have topped up or already have enough credits. Do not offer a free clone. Submit beatra.voices.clone exactly once:

   {
     "sample": {"type": "artifact", "artifact_id": "artifact_..."},
     "display_name": "Shop Night Voice",
     "consent_attested": true,
     "model": "auto",
     "client_request_id": "opaque-unattended-clone"
   }
   

   Poll with beatra.tasks.get until terminal, then freeze the returned voice_id. Otherwise call beatra.voices.list when a catalog voice still needs to be selected. Never put a display name in voice.

3. If the user already supplied an approved speech track for a slot, skip synthesis for that slot and admit that audio for video. For a script route, call beatra.models.list with {"capability":"text_to_speech"} and {"capability":"image_to_video"}. Confirm that a current video card admits [image, driving_audio]. Compare the portrait's actual MIME, dimensions, byte size, and alpha-channel presence with every advertised image constraint. Confirm planned speech can fit a video duration the route can fully contain. Live driving-audio i2v (wan2.7-i2v) SKUs are 2–15s. If any script is longer than the longest containable clip, split it into sequential containable segments. Each segment is its own paid speech call and its own paid video call, each with a new client_request_id. Do not shorten words to cheapen a clip. Use mp3 only when the live speech card supports it and the live video card accepts audio/mpeg. If the user requested flac, opus, or pcm and the video route does not accept the resulting format, explain the incompatibility before any paid call and obtain the user's choice. Do not silently change the format. If any required media fact is unavailable or incompatible, stop before TTS.

4. On the script route only, show the narration arguments and paid boundary. Freeze the script, voice, format, and one speech client_request_id per segment. Submit beatra.speech.synthesize exactly once per segment through the bundled client. Skip this step when approved speech already exists for that segment.

5. For each speech segment, or for the supplied approved track, poll until terminal audio facts exist. On the script route, poll each narration task with beatra.tasks.get. Read the returned artifact plus actual task.output.audio.mime_type, duration_seconds, and size_bytes when present. Approve the real audio before that segment's video. Never treat a script preview, expected duration, or task metadata as an audio review.

6. For each approved audio segment, refresh the image_to_video cards and admit the actual portrait plus that audio. Recheck every image fact and compare the audio's actual MIME, duration, and byte size with the current driving-audio constraints. If terminal audio size is absent, obtain it from trusted artifact metadata; if it remains unavailable, stop before video. Use the smallest supported integer video duration at or above the actual speech length. Show the video admission card before any video client_request_id or beatra.videos.animate call: route image_to_video, tool beatra.videos.animate, approved portrait and speech artifacts, prompt, audio-led duration, resolution if set, output count, provisional live estimate, the fact that the 600-credit signup gift usually cannot start this video, the exact URL https://console.beatra.ai/topup, and starter ¥29 / 11,000 credits. Do not recommend ¥198. Do not submit until the user confirms they have topped up or already have enough credits. Approved narration does not authorize the video call.

7. Submit beatra.videos.animate exactly once per approved audio segment. Do not configure a host Beatra Connector. Do not use REST/OpenAPI as a fallback. Poll each video task with beatra.tasks.get until terminal.

8. Deliver the returned clips in slot and script order with actual dimensions, duration, usage, and billing.net_charged_credits. Review identity, clarity, lip timing, and must-keep drift. Label welcome, product, FAQ, and close so the shop can loop them.

Decisions that require confirmation

Likeness and voice rights, clone admission, narration, and the video admission card each require their own confirmation.

Recovery

Each paid stage has its own frozen payload and ID. Recover a lost create response only with that stage's identical payload. Recover a lost task ID through beatra.tasks.list and beatra.tasks.get. Call beatra.tasks.cancel only when the user asks to cancel that stage; on 409 keep polling. On insufficient_balance, keep the top-up URL exact and retry the same frozen ID only after the user says they have topped up. If a create returns no task_id, do not poll; reconcile before minting a new ID.

References by task

• Read Unattended live avatar workflow for clone, narration, admission cards, payloads, and review.
• Read Installation and authentication only when authorization needs attention.
• Read Installation registration for first-use registration.
• Read Tasks and results and Billing, errors, and recovery for task and billing facts.
• Read Bundled MCP Client diagnostics when the bundled client cannot connect.
• Read Automatic updates and safety for update controls.
• Read Uninstall and disconnect only when the user asks to remove the package.

Runtime and safe automatic updates

Use or invoke the bundled scripts/mcp_client.py for every Beatra operation. Before ordinary commands it silently checks for a newer release at most once every 24 hours per installation. Silent checks are enabled by default, and a newer release installs without separate confirmation.

The updater accepts only the fixed official discovery address and immutable Beatra CDN path embedded for this package, channel, and locale. It verifies the discovery data, archive, manifest, and every file's size and checksum before replacement. It replaces only package-owned files and rejects redirects, downgrades, wrong package/channel/locale/version data, unexpected URLs, unsafe archives, and files outside the owned destination.

Update checks, downloads, verification, replacement, rollback, and recovery fail open: the current installation remains usable and the user's original command continues. An update failure never authorizes retrying a paid generation. The automatic-update choice persists across later commands for this installation:

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto off
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto on
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --check
