- deep-research: Deep research harness — fan-out web searches, fetch sources, adversarially verify claims, synthesize a cited report. - When the user wants a deep, multi-source, fact-checked research report on any topic. BEFORE invoking, check if the question is specific enough to research directly — if underspecified (e.g., "what car to buy" without budget/use-case/region), ask 2-3 clarifying questions to narrow scope. Then pass the refined question as args, weaving the answers in.
- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: "allow npm commands", "add bq permission to global settings", "move permission to user settings", "set DEBUG=true", "when claude stops show X". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: "rebind ctrl+s", "add a chord shortcut", "change the submit key", "customize keybindings".
- verify: Verify that a code change actually does what it's supposed to by running the app and observing behavior. Use when asked to verify a PR, confirm a fix works, test a change manually, check that a feature works, or validate local changes before pushing.
- code-review: Review the current diff for correctness bugs and reuse/simplification/efficiency cleanups at the given effort level (low/medium: fewer, high-confidence findings; high→max: broader coverage, may include uncertain findings). Pass --comment to post findings as inline PR comments, or --fix to apply the findings to the working tree after the review.
- simplify: Review the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude cleanups, then apply the fixes. Quality only — it does not hunt for bugs; use /code-review for that.
- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled cloud agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring cloud agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").
- claude-api: Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration.
TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it "looks like a one-liner" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens).
SKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE 'openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama'` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don't Read the file).
- run: Launch and drive this project's app to see a change working. Use when asked to run, start, or screenshot the app, or to confirm a change works in the real app (not just tests). First looks for a project skill that already covers launching the app; otherwise falls back to built-in patterns per project type (CLI, server, TUI, Electron, browser-driven, library).
- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation
- review: Review a pull request
- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch

text:
Here is a concise integration-focused breakdown of LAM:

---

**1. What LAM Actually Does**

LAM stands for **Large Avatar Model** (not "Animation Model"). It reconstructs a **photorealistic, animatable 3D Gaussian Splatting head avatar from a single input photo in ~1.4 seconds**. A companion model called **Audio2Expression** (released April 2025) then drives that avatar with audio input to produce lip-synced facial animation. The project also integrates with **OpenAvatarChat** for real-time AI chatting avatar use cases.

---

**2. Inputs**

- **Avatar creation**: one static photograph (single image)
- **Animation**: a motion sequence file (passed via `${MOTION_SEQ}` argument) — likely facial landmark / expression data
- **Audio-driven animation**: the Audio2Expression module takes audio input (format not specified in README; likely WAV/MP3) and drives the avatar's face

There is no text-to-avatar or video input mentioned.

---

**3. Outputs**

- **3D Gaussian Splatting representation** (not a traditional mesh like GLB/FBX/OBJ — this is a point-cloud-like volumetric format)
- **Real-time rendering**: 562.9 FPS on A100 GPU, 110+ FPS on a mobile phone (Xiaomi 14)
- **ZIP export** compatible with OpenAvatarChat for deployment in interactive chat apps
- No traditional video file output mentioned; the pipeline is designed for real-time streaming/rendering

---

**4. System Requirements**

- **GPU**: NVIDIA GPU required; tested on A100. CUDA 12.1 or 11.8 (Linux scripts provided); CUDA 12.8 one-click Windows installer also available
- **Python**: Not pinned in README; `requirements.txt` exists in the repo
- **VRAM/RAM**: Not documented explicitly
- **Platforms**: Linux (primary), Windows (one-click installer), mobile rendering supported via a separate cross-platform path

---

**5. Python API / Web Demo**

- **No clean Python import API** — usage is CLI (`sh ./scripts/inference.sh`) or Gradio web UI (`python app_lam.py`)
- **Gradio local GUI**: `python app_lam.py`
- **Hosted demos**: HuggingFace Space at `spaces/3DAIGC/LAM`, ModelScope studio, and OpenAvatarChat HuggingFace/ModelScope spaces

---

**6. Integration into a Web/Desktop GUI App**

Feasible but with caveats:

- The Gradio app (`app_lam.py`) is the intended local GUI — you could wrap or extend it
- For deeper integration, you'd need to call the inference script or reverse-engineer it into importable Python functions, since there's no published SDK
- The Gaussian Splatting output format is **not standard 3D** (no GLB/FBX), so rendering in a typical WebGL/three.js or Unity app requires a Gaussian Splatting renderer
- Real-time performance is excellent once the avatar is built, making it viable for live chat/streaming apps via OpenAvatarChat
- A desktop app wrapper around the Gradio interface (e.g., Electron + localhost) is the path of least resistance

---

**7. License**

**Apache License 2.0** — permissive, allows commercial use with attribution. No model weight license restrictions called out in the README beyond this.

---

**Integration Feasibility Summary**

LAM is feasible to integrate into a chatbot/avatar application, especially via the OpenAvatarChat pipeline it was designed for. The main friction points are: (1) no clean Python API — you'd work at the script/CLI level or fork the Gradio app; (2) the Gaussian Splatting output requires a specialized renderer, not a standard 3D engine; (3) hardware requirements are non-trivial (CUDA GPU needed for inference, though rendering works on mobile). If your goal is a talking-head AI avatar app, the Audio2Expression + LAM + OpenAvatarChat stack is the intended path.
