What it does

Aliyun Liveportrait is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when generating lightweight talking-head portrait videos with Alibaba Cloud Model Studio LivePortrait (liveportrait) from a detected portrait image and speech audio. Use when you need long-form or simple broadcast-style portrait animation beyond the typical short expressive models.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/sources.md` and `scripts/prepare_liveportrait_request.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative. It works with Alibaba Cloud. The repository describes itself as: alibaba cloud skills，qwen ，wan and all skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

You need long-form
Simple broadcast-style portrait animation beyond the typical short expressive models

Example prompts

“/aliyun-liveportrait”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1818263. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aliyun Liveportrait loads about 752 tokens when it runs, and up to ~853 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~752
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~853

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

version: 1.0.0

Category: provider

Model Studio LivePortrait

Validation

bash

mkdir -p output/aliyun-liveportrait
python -m py_compile skills/ai/video/aliyun-liveportrait/scripts/prepare_liveportrait_request.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-liveportrait/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-liveportrait/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

Save normalized request payloads, template choice, and task polling snapshots under output/aliyun-liveportrait/.
Record the exact portrait/audio URLs and motion-strength related parameters.

Use LivePortrait when the job is lightweight portrait animation with speech audio, especially for longer clips or simpler presenter-style motion.

Critical model names

Use these exact model strings:

liveportrait-detect
liveportrait

Selection guidance:

Run liveportrait-detect first to verify the portrait image.
Use liveportrait for the actual video generation task.

Prerequisites

China mainland (Beijing) only.
Set DASHSCOPE_API_KEY in your environment, or add dashscope_api_key to ~/.alibabacloud/credentials.
Input image and audio must be public HTTP/HTTPS URLs.

Normalized interface (video.liveportrait)

Detect Request

model (string, optional): default liveportrait-detect
image_url (string, required)

Generate Request

model (string, optional): default liveportrait
image_url (string, required)
audio_url (string, required)
template_id (string, optional): normal, calm, or active
eye_move_freq (number, optional): 0 to 1
video_fps (int, optional): 15 to 30
mouth_move_strength (number, optional): 0 to 1.5
paste_back (bool, optional)
head_move_strength (number, optional): 0 to 1

Response

task_id (string)
task_status (string)
video_url (string, when finished)

Quick start

bash

python skills/ai/video/aliyun-liveportrait/scripts/prepare_liveportrait_request.py \
  --image-url "https://example.com/portrait.png" \
  --audio-url "https://example.com/speech.mp3" \
  --template-id calm \
  --video-fps 24 \
  --paste-back

Operational guidance

Use a clear, front-facing portrait with low occlusion.
Keep the audio clean and voice-dominant.
paste_back=false outputs only the generated face region; keep it true for standard talking-head output.
LivePortrait is a better fit than EMO when you need longer, simpler presenter-style clips.

Output location

Default output: output/aliyun-liveportrait/request.json
Override base dir with OUTPUT_DIR.
