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.
@winnbird@defileo with Obsidian you can sync it either by paying for Obsidian sync or a workaround with GitHub and then you can have this 2nd brain accessible on multiple devices or even by OpenClaw (on another computer) or other agent accessible workflows
