Transfer the motion from a user-supplied reference video onto a new target subject with MiniMax H3. Use when the user wants a character, mascot, product, or creature to perform the dance, gesture, action, locomotion, or camera move they saw in another video. Covers Ref2VA motion transfer (primary route), plus I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA fallbacks when no usable reference video exists. Pure-text requests have nothing to transfer from and are redirected to the base `h3-prompt-writing` skill. Not for…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Reference Motion Transfer

Use this Skill when the user wants to take the **motion** from one video and apply it to a **different subject** — "make my character do this dance", "let the mascot copy these gestures", "repeat this camera move on my product". The motion source is a reference video; the target is a character image, a text description, or both.

Core principle: **analyze the motion before writing anything, keep one motion source per run, and spend the model's capacity on motion fidelity — not on a busy scene.**

This Skill builds prompts through `h3-prompt-writing`. Follow its guides exactly: `base-en.txt` for T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA, `ref-en.txt` for Ref2VA. Field names, section order, labels, and timing notation come from those guides and must not be improvised.

---

## 1. Trigger

Use this Skill when the user's request matches any of:

- Transfer a dance, gesture set, or body action from a reference video to a new character
- Make a mascot / product / creature mimic a person's movement
- Replicate a camera movement from a reference clip onto a new scene
- "Same motion, different subject" requests, in any language

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gordonlu/awesome-minimax-h3-skills/reference-motion-transfer@sha256:984e454a9de64f66

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.8543462, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
