## What it does

Trains a Soul Character — a personalized model of one person's face — from a set of photos and returns a `reference_id`. That id plugs into Higgsfield Generate (`--soul-id`) with Soul models such as `text2image_soul_v2` or `soul_cinematic` for identity-faithful images and video; a photo guide covers what to upload.

## Use when

- Train my face or make my digital twin
- Keep one person consistent across generations
- Set up an identity before making videos

## Not for

- One-off face swaps (use Higgsfield Generate with an image)
- Named or non-photo characters

## Install

- Claude Code: `/plugin marketplace add higgsfield-ai/skills && /plugin install higgsfield@higgsfield`
- Codex: `npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills --skill higgsfield-soul-id -a codex`
- Cursor: `npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills --skill higgsfield-soul-id -a cursor`
- Gemini CLI: `npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills --skill higgsfield-soul-id -a gemini-cli`

**Models it drives:** soul, text2image_soul_v2, soul_cinematic
