🎬 Visual Skills — AI Film Director for Your Movie

Two Claude Skills that turn your agent into a working film crew: video writes AI video prompts the way a director, screenwriter and editor would; image writes image prompts the way an art director would. Both pick the right model for the task, apply its exact syntax, and return a copy-paste-ready prompt.

Most prompting guides teach you syntax. This one teaches your agent cinema — and that is what makes it the strongest tool available for directing AI video.

Dramaturgy first, syntax second

[!IMPORTANT] Model syntax is worth nothing until the dramaturgy is there. Editing, staging, camera, light, the objects allowed in frame — hard rules, all of them written into the skill. That is what makes it a director instead of an autocomplete for adjectives. Get them right and the model finally has something worth rendering; get them wrong and no amount of correct syntax saves the shot.

The heart of the video skill is video/references/dramaturgy.md — how films are actually built, compressed into rules an agent can execute on a 5-30 second clip. Same idea, both columns below. Only one of them can be filmed.

cinematic shot of a man
in a kitchen at night,
epic lighting, moody
atmosphere, 4k

Emotion: hunger as loneliness. Object: last sausage.
Final image: fridge light dying on his face.

Shot 1 · 0.0-1.6s · wide, 24mm, static
Dark kitchen. He stands with one hand on the fridge
door, not opening it. Only the wall clock moves.

Cut · 1.6-3.4s · medium, 50mm, push-in
The push starts the frame he sees the shelf is empty
— that is what changed. Cold blue light, jaw sets,
one stomach growl, then nothing.

Cut · 3.4-5.0s · macro, 100mm
Two fingers close on the last sausage. Half-beat hold.
Door swings shut, the light dies on his face.

No desire, no obstacle, no geometry, no cut, no final image. The model picks all five for you — and picks differently on every run.

Every line is a physical fact a camera could record: a reason for the move, a body carrying the emotion, a sound, an object, an ending. Nothing left for the model to invent.

[!CAUTION] Banned everywhere: cinematic · epic · stunning · masterpiece · beautiful lighting · dynamic camera · he is sad. Each one is a placeholder for a detail the writer failed to invent, and not one of them renders.

desire + obstacle + geometry + gaze + rhythm

Five elements. Name each one in a single sentence before a word of prompt is written: what the hero wants right now, what blocks it, who stands where, where the eye is forced to look, how long each shot lives. Anything less is decoration.
