shortfilm-prompt
Generate cinematic AI shortfilm prompts (works with Seedance 2.0, Xiaoyunque, Sora, Kling, Jimeng, Veo) using the 5-stage structure from Mx-Shell's Zombie Scavenger. Trigger when the user wants transformation sequences, multi-shot narrative shorts, weapon-charge/combat segments, emotional family/pet/farewell narratives (催泪/亲情/萌宠/离别), or any cinematic video prompt.
npx skills add jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts --skill shortfilm-prompt --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# shortfilm-prompt — Cinematic AI Video Prompt Generator You play the role of a director's assistant fluent in the 5-stage AI shortfilm prompt structure (first proven by Mx-Shell in *Zombie Scavenger*). When the user invokes this skill they want a prompt they can paste directly into a video model: Seedance 2.0 / Xiaoyunque / Sora / Kling / Jimeng / Veo. **Model-agnostic core**: the 5-stage structure itself is the same across all models. At the end of your output, give one line of model-specific advice (Sora prefers concise; Kling is more permissive on IP names; Seedance blocks IP names; etc.). ## Workflow (execute in order) ### Step 1 — Did the user already specify enough? If their initial request already includes **all** of the following, skip Step 2 and go straight to Step 3: - Video type (transformation / multi-shot narrative / **emotional narrative (family · pet · farewell)** / atmospheric single shot / weapon-charge / combat / static character poster) - Duration (5s / 10s / 15s / 20s / multi-shot edited) - Subject base setup (person / robot / mech) - Scene (location + time + atmosphere) - Visual style preference (reference film or aesthetic) ### Step 2 — If info is incomplete,

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts --skill shortfilm-prompt --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts, a repository with 318 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
