Hermes + Claude + Higgsfield MCP + ViralBuilder = 💰💰💰

Four tools. One prompt chain. Hook to finished video in 10 minutes.

I built a Claude skill that writes shot-by-shot Higgsfield prompts from a single creative brief.

ViralBuilder tells you what's winning. The skill turns it into a production-ready prompt. Higgsfield renders it.

No creative director. No guessing. No separate tools.

Here is the setup:

Higgsfield MCP
→ Open Claude Code
→ Settings → Connectors
→ Enter: https://t.co/Sq3iD4AfeE
→ Connect your account

Hermes
→ The agent layer running underneath Claude Code
→ It holds your skills, crons, memory, and routing rules
→ When you prompt Claude, Hermes feeds it the context it needs

ViralBuilder (like Gethookd)
→ The winning ecom video database
→ Scrapes top performing ecom videos across platforms
→ Claude reads the data and extracts what styles, hooks, and formats are actually scaling

The skill: video-prompt-builder
→ Installed inside Claude via Hermes
→ Takes a creative brief and outputs a full shot-by-shot prompt
→ Covers camera work, effects, transitions, pacing, and energy arc
→ Every output is structured for Higgsfield to render without ambiguity

No switching apps. No export steps. Everything runs from one place.

▸ FIND WINNING CREATIVE ANGLES

ViralBuilder tells you what the market already validated. Claude reads it and extracts the pattern.

Prompts to run:

"Search ViralBuilder for the top performing ecom videos in [niche] over the last 21 days. Extract the 3 dominant hook styles and rank by view velocity."

"Pull the winning video formats in [niche] from ViralBuilder. Which opening 3 seconds appears most across videos spending over $10k?"

"Find what video style is scaling right now in [niche] for the US market. UGC, talking head, or product demo. Filter for videos with over 1M views."

"Pull the last 30 days of viral ecom hooks in [niche] from ViralBuilder. Cluster by emotional trigger. Which cluster has the most longevity?"

You are not guessing at angles.

You are reading what the market already spent money validating.

▸ BUILD THE PROMPT WITH THE SKILL

This is where the video-prompt-builder skill takes over.

You give Claude the winning angle. The skill outputs a complete shot-by-shot prompt with effects, transitions, pacing, and energy arc ready to fire into Higgsfield.

Prompts to run:

"Use the video-prompt-builder skill. Brief: 15-second UGC ad for [product] in [niche]. Hook style: [style from ViralBuilder]. Tone: direct to camera, US English. Output the full shot-by-shot effects timeline, effects inventory, density map, and energy arc."

"Use the video-prompt-builder skill. The dominant hook in [niche] this week is [hook]. Build a 10-second product video prompt that opens with a speed ramp into a close-up product reveal. Include a signature visual effect and a low-density CTA landing."

"Use the video-prompt-builder skill. Brief: replicate the pacing and energy of a [style description] video for [product]. Target duration: 20 seconds. Output all four sections. Then generate the video with Higgsfield using the shot-by-shot prompt."

The skill outputs four sections every time:

→ Shot-by-shot effects timeline with camera, movement, and transitions per shot
→ Master effects inventory showing every technique used and where
→ Effects density map showing high, medium, and low intensity across the timeline
→ Energy arc describing how the video opens, builds, and lands

That output goes directly into Higgsfield. No rewriting. No translating.

▸ GENERATE THE CREATIVE

Claude writes the brief via the skill. Higgsfield MCP builds the video. Both happen in the same session.

Prompts to run:

"Use the video-prompt-builder skill to write a 15-second UGC prompt for [product]. Hook in the first 3 seconds, speed ramp into product reveal, slow-motion CTA landing. Then generate with Higgsfield in 9:16 format."

"Build 3 prompt variations on this winning angle: [angle]. Each variation opens with a different effect — speed ramp, digital zoom, whip pan. Use the video-prompt-builder skill for each. Then generate all three with Higgsfield."

"Use the video-prompt-builder skill. Brief: problem-solution ad for [product], 20 seconds, US market. Problem shot at high density, product reveal at medium, result and CTA at low. Generate with Higgsfield in 9:16."

No separate tool. No file transfer. The video comes back in the same thread.

▸ CHAIN THE WHOLE STACK

One prompt. All four tools firing together.

"You are my ad creative director. Hermes has loaded my brand context. Pull the top performing video style in [niche] from ViralBuilder this week. Use the video-prompt-builder skill to write a full shot-by-shot prompt for [product] that replicates that style — 20 seconds, 9:16, US market, hook in the first 3 seconds. Output the effects timeline, inventory, density map, and energy arc. Then generate the video with Higgsfield."

That single prompt replaces a half-day of production.

The math before this stack:
Brief: 30 minutes
Script: 1 hour
Creative production: 2 to 3 hours
Agency or freelancer cost: $500 to $2,000 per creative

With this stack:
Hook to finished creative: 10 minutes

Cost per creative: tool subscription, a fraction of agency rate

5 product tests in the time it used to take to brief one
Bad product tests are where US ad budget disappears.
$600 to $1,500 per failed test, before you even know if the angle works.

This stack shows you what the market already validated before you spend a dollar on production.

Hermes = your context layer. Brand, goals, past performance. Claude is always informed.

ViralBuilder = your winning video database. See exactly what styles, hooks, and formats are scaling before you produce anything.

video-prompt-builder skill = the translation layer. Turns a creative brief into a structured, production-ready Higgsfield prompt every time.

Claude = the brain. Reads the market, writes the brief, chains the tools.

Higgsfield MCP = the output. Video generated directly from the prompt. No export step.

Four tools. One session. 10 minutes.

Comment + RT "STACK" and I'll DM you the full workflow + the video-prompt-builder skill file.

@DeRonin_ ENGINE

[Ronin @DeRonin_]

I automated my content engine and 2 hrs/day dropped to 10 min

[ what’s new in v2 ]:

- 9 platforms scraped while I sleep → 2,000+ topics/day
- a 5-signal scoring brain that filters down to the 10 that matter
- voice DNA writer.. same tone, different structure every time
- a self-learning loop that remembers every approve and decline
- profile DNA — knows exactly what goes viral on MY account

v1 was a brain with no body
v2 has eyes, a filter, and memory + fully automated

Here’s how to build it step-by-step ↓

[ The architecture]:

/content-engine
├── scrapers/ (9 platform scrapers)
├── extension/ (chrome ext for X, linkedin, reddit)
├── ai/
│ ├── https://t.co/JLmuw236QH (5-signal scoring brain)
│ ├── content_writer.py (voice DNA + structures)
│ ├── profile_analyzer.py (your positioning DNA)
│ └── sentiment_analyzer.py
├── publisher/ (export + time slot scheduling)
├── gui/dashboard.py (streamlit command center)
├── ingest_server.py (local server on localhost)
└── data/content_engine.db (everything stored locally)

let me walk you through each layer ↓

LAYER 1: Research engine

9 sources scanned 24/7 (X, reddit, YT, HN, github, trends + chrome ext for reddit and linkedin)
every post you scroll past gets tagged and stored locally

LAYER 2: Scoring brain

every topic scored on 5 signals:
- freshness (0.20)
- velocity (0.25)
- virality (0.25)
- relevance (0.20)
- uniqueness (0.10)

velocity 8+ → forced min score of 7. catches late bloomers that suddenly explode
2,000 topics → top 10 ranked

LAYER 3: Voice DNA writer

not one structure every time. system picks the format:

- short take
- tactical playbook
- QT contrast
- contrarian
- resource drop
- proof post

a voice guardian auto-rewrites anything that fails: lowercase ratio, no hashtags, no corporate words

LAYER 4: Dashboard Streamlit

dark theme. 5 tabs
review queue = tinder for content. swipe approve, swipe decline

LAYER 5: Publishing

no auto-posting. zero account risk
approve → pick a slot (8am / 12pm / 5pm) → exports a .txt → copy / paste / post

also auto-drafts a linkedin version of every approved tweet

LAYER 6: Self-learning loop

every click logged. weekly the system embeds your decline notes and re-tunes the scoring brain

month 1: you approve 30%
month 3: 70% pre-filtered
month 6: 10 min/day

LAYER 7: Profile DNA

analyzes your past tweets. tells you exactly which pillars, formats, and hooks perform best on YOUR account

the scoring brain uses it to prioritize what already works for you

daily run: open dashboard → 10 min reviewing → post 3x → close

total cost: ~$15/month

everything else: local, sqlite, no cloud, no subscription

unfortunately I couldn’t paste in long-form format initial description which was made before

but if this hits 2,000 likes I drop the full build guide with every prompt you need to ship it in claude code

reply "ENGINE" + RT and I'll DM you access to test it (follow me first so I can write)

save this so you don't lose it
