Vortex Creative Center · plan: Create, the way Higgsfield does it, made by our Claude with our rulebook

What changes

One place to make things, and you watch them being made

1Create is the first pageOne box: “Make a video about…”, or one shot, or a picture. Next to it: the format (its rulebook), our game, the market, the cast, references, length. It works like Higgsfield’s create screen and its Content Factory (“Make a video about…” → “Generate in Claude”), but the Claude is ours.
2Claude plans with our rulebook, for freeClaude Code reads the format’s rules (Street Booth: G1 hook … G15 end card), our edit rules, 18+ and the studio rules. It writes the shots, lines and prompts, and shows the whole plan with every step, model and price. You press Generate once, or Frames first.
3“Being made” is the main viewThe steps light up as they run: Claude’s decisions with the rule behind each, cast & set, start frames, motion, ♥, finals, the cut. Pictures and takes appear in place. You also see a spend meter, a phone preview of what is in, and Ask Claude to change something (priced first).
4Everything lands in GenerationsLike Higgsfield’s “My generations”: every shot, start frame, cast picture, end card and single picture we made. Filter by type or game, ♥ keep, “4 more like this”, make it final, use it in another video, make a format from it. Each one says how it was made and the rules it follows.

01Being made: the step-by-step view, by our rulebookThe first-class view you asked for: the video being made, each step with the rule behind it, its model, price and output, live.+

The being-made view — Claude read the rulebook (48 s, free) and shows its decisions with the rule behind each: G1·G2 hook by 0.7 s, G6 two voices, G7 brand in the set, Studio: no drawn game (shot 4 uses our recording), G9 offer in numbers, the edit rules. Then: cast & set (3 × $0.04), start frames (6 + the end card, each tagged with its rule), motion drafts 4 of 6 in (the coin drop with ‘big push’ as motion), ♥ you pick, finals up to $7.82, the cut with its checks. On the right: the spend meter ($0.61 of $0.99), the phone preview, and Ask Claude (“make the host older” → 11 pieces, ≈ $0.62, priced first).

The being-made view on a phone — The same steps stacked; the rule chips stay readable.

The storyboard today — Today a video is made from its storyboard. The cards fill in, but the steps, the rules behind them and the spend aren’t shown as they happen, and Claude doesn’t take part.

02Create: the first page, like Higgsfield’s create screenThe composer, the formats to start from (like Content Factory’s trending styles), what is being made now, and Generations.+

The Create page — “Make a video about…” with A whole video / One shot / A picture. Picks: format (rulebook), our game, market, cast, a reference picture or clip, length. Plan it with Claude (free). Below: start from a format (Street Booth, 12 rules, draft ≈ $0.99 …), being made now (step 3 of 7, Watch it being made →), and Generations with filters (videos, shots, pictures, ♥ kept, by game, format, model).

Create on a phone — The same page on a phone.

Home today — Today: Home is “What’s next”, a video starts at New video, and the assistant sits on the edge. In the plan, Create takes the first place and What’s next becomes a strip on it.

03Claude’s plan, before anything is spentEvery step with what goes in, the rule behind it, the model, how many and the price; one Generate, or Frames first.+

04One generation: how it was made, and what nextEvery picture or take shows its chain, the rules it follows and what Claude asked the model for.+

How it works

Our Claude, not Higgsfield’sThe same Claude Code on the team subscription that already runs the assistant and the example readings, limited to the studio’s own commands. It plans and explains; it never spends. A person’s Generate starts the work, as today.
Harness-based, all the wayEvery Create job is a recipe version run by the pipeline we just merged (cast & set → start frames → motion → ♥ → final → cut). “One shot” and “a picture” are one-shot recipes Claude writes from a format, so a good one can become a format of its own.
The rulebook, cited at every stepThe format’s rules from its examples (G1 hook in the first second, G7 brand in the set …), our edit rules (cut on the beat, never inside a word, captions follow the voice), the studio rules (never draw the game’s screen, 18+ end card ≥ 4 s, banned phrases) and the market’s words. Each step and each prompt names the rules it follows, and the checks run before you press Generate.
Live, step by stepClaude’s decisions stream into the first step while it plans (about a minute for a whole video). Each later step fills in as its pieces land: status, pictures, takes, what it cost. You can leave the page and come back.
The same two accountsThe Higgsfield plan (through its command-line tool) and KIE, with the same fallback. Once the Higgsfield plan is signed in on the server, Higgsfield’s own extras can join: its motion presets as a “Moves” row, Soul ID characters as cast, workflows such as draw-to-video, and your past Higgsfield generations pulled into Generations.

Higgsfield’s interface → ours

On Higgsfield	Here
Create screen: prompt box, model, start frame, references, aspect and length, credits on Generate	The Create composer: a brief instead of a raw prompt; format = rulebook; our game, market, cast, references; the price on Generate, after Claude’s plan
Content Factory: pick a trending style → “Make a video about…” → “Generate in Claude”	Start from a format (each learned from examples) → “Make a video about…” → Plan it with Claude (ours, with our rulebook)
My generations / My elements / My favorites	Generations (everything we made), Our games and the cast & set pictures, ♥ Kept
Genjutsu: keep the motion, recast with your characters and products	A motion clip as a reference, or Kling Motion Control copying a movement (built in PR #4)
Soul ID characters; camera-move presets	Cast & set pictures (built); Higgsfield’s Soul ID and presets once the plan is signed in
“Explore the inside of every project”: all prompts and assets	Every generation shows how it was made, the rules it follows and the words sent to the model

In four parts, each shippable on its own

The being-made view, for every video · about 1 dayThe step-by-step view with the rule behind each step, live status, outputs in place, the spend meter and the phone preview, for every run (draft, frames, final). Plus Generations: everything we made, with filters and how each was made.
Create + Claude’s plan · about 1.5 daysCreate becomes the first page. The composer, “start from a format”, Claude planning a whole video with the rulebook (free, its decisions streamed in), the priced plan, Generate or Frames first, then straight into the being-made view. Ask Claude while it is being made.
One shot and a picture · about 1 dayOne-shot recipes from a format; references from Our games, the cast, or an upload; “4 more like this”, make it final, use it in another video, make a format from it.
Higgsfield extras · about 1 day, after the sign-inHiggsfield’s motion presets as a Moves row, Soul ID characters as cast, your past Higgsfield generations in Generations.

What I need from you

Approve the plan, or change itThen I build part 1 first: the being-made view is the part you called first-class.
Create as the first page?I suggest yes: Create first in the menu, and What’s next as a strip on it. Or keep Home first, with Create second.
“Write it myself”?I suggest a small switch in the composer to skip Claude and write the prompt yourself. The rulebook checks and the price still apply.
Which Higgsfield screens did you use most?Video create with presets, Soul ID, Content Factory, or Cinema Studio? A screenshot of the one you used every day lets me match it closely.
Deploy PR #4?It’s merged, not live. Say “deploy” and it goes to the studio server with a database backup first, as with PR #3.
Higgsfield sign-in on the serverNeeded for its presets, Soul ID and your past generations, and for the plan’s credits. When you’re at a browser, I’ll start it and you paste back the link it gives you.
