What is this?

A Claude Skill (works with Claude Code, Claude Cowork and Claude.ai) that teaches the AI professional cinematography vocabulary so your text-to-video and text-to-image prompts stop being vague ("a nice cinematic scene") and start being precise ("medium close-up, low angle, slow dolly in, rim lighting, teal and orange grading").

It is model-agnostic: the vocabulary works for Veo 3 / Google Flow, Kling, Sora, Runway Gen-4, Hailuo, Luma Dream Machine, Pika, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Nano Banana, and any future model that reads English prompts.

The prompt formula

[Shot size + Angle], [Subject + appearance], [Specific action], [Setting + weather],
[Lighting], [Camera movement], [Style + color], [Mood], [Technical]

Example:

Medium close-up, low angle, a young woman in a red áo dài walks slowly through a rainy
Saigon alley at night, neon signs reflecting on wet asphalt, rim lighting from city lights,
slow dolly in, cinematic, teal and orange grading, melancholic mood, shallow depth of field,
35mm film grain

Rules baked into the skill: one camera movement per clip, one main action per clip, lighting must match weather/time of day, style ↔ color ↔ mood must point the same way, max ~8 technical keywords, keep character description identical across clips of the same story.
