Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "shortfilm-prompt" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/shortfilm-prompt && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/shortfilm-prompt/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts/main/skills/shortfilm-prompt/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
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.
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.).
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, ask at most 2–3 key questions
Use AskUserQuestion. Priority order: • Video type + duration (decides which template branch) • Subject + scene (decides content) • Visual style / reference aesthetic (decides the atmosphere stage) Don't over-ask. Mx-Shell himself worked iteratively, making it up as he went. Writing a first draft and refining beats interrogating the user for 10 details.
Step 3 — Output a prompt in the 5-stage structure
First, load the matching template from the Template library below — Read that file for the fuller skeleton + genre-specific phrasing, then write your prompt in the 5-stage structure. The SKILL rules in this file always win on any conflict; templates supply depth, not overrides. ` • Core theme ← 3-6 tags separated by | • Character & scene ← Face / clothing / scene • Atmosphere & quality ← Visual base / color tone / style core • Camera rules ← Single-shot or multi-shot / angle / breathing • Storyboard ← Per-second slices OR per-shot slices `
