What it does

AI Cinematic Short Film is an agent skill from 0xsline/OpenChatCut. Plan AI short films with story, shots, prompts, and continuity.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cinematic-ai-workflow.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first conversational AI video editor with a professional multi-track timeline, Agent Skills, MCP integration, and Remotion rendering. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

  • “/ai-cinematic-short-film”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define the creative brief: premise, emotion, audience, platform, aspect ratio, duration, and ending.
  2. Create a compact story structure: hook image, setup, escalation, reveal or payoff, final beat.
  3. Build a style bible using references/cinematic-ai-workflow.md: world, character, color, lens/camera language, motion, lighting, and…
  4. Draft a shot list. Each shot should have a purpose, duration, visual action, camera move, prompt notes, and continuity note.
  5. Use existing or generated reference frames only when continuity would otherwise break, especially for characters, products, locations, or…
  6. Write prompts per shot with subject, action, environment, camera, lighting, mood, and negative constraints. Keep prompts specific but not…
  7. Generate clips, review continuity, and regenerate only shots that break story clarity or visual consistency.
  8. Assemble the selected shots in the timeline. Add audio or text only when the brief or source workflow explicitly calls for it.
  9. Final QA: story clarity, shot order, continuity, visual artifacts, and export readiness.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e6f4a2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Cinematic Short Film loads about 675 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~675
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

AI Cinematic Short Film

Use this workflow when the user wants OpenChatCut to create a cinematic AI-generated short film or story-led visual sequence.

This is a OpenChatCut-native workflow. If a source workflow depends on external image/video generation or manual assembly, replace that step with OpenChatCut's equivalent capability when available. Do not add unrelated OpenChatCut features just because they exist.

When to Use

  • The user starts from an idea, product, script, reference image, mood, or story premise.
  • The work needs shot planning, prompt craft, visual continuity, and cinematic pacing.
  • The user wants AI-generated clips assembled into a finished short.

Workflow

  1. Define the creative brief: premise, emotion, audience, platform, aspect ratio, duration, and ending.
  2. Create a compact story structure: hook image, setup, escalation, reveal or payoff, final beat.
  3. Build a style bible using references/cinematic-ai-workflow.md: world, character, color, lens/camera language, motion, lighting, and continuity rules.
  4. Draft a shot list. Each shot should have a purpose, duration, visual action, camera move, prompt notes, and continuity note.
  5. Use existing or generated reference frames only when continuity would otherwise break, especially for characters, products, locations, or costumes.
  6. Write prompts per shot with subject, action, environment, camera, lighting, mood, and negative constraints. Keep prompts specific but not brittle.
  7. Generate clips, review continuity, and regenerate only shots that break story clarity or visual consistency.
  8. Assemble the selected shots in the timeline. Add audio or text only when the brief or source workflow explicitly calls for it.
  9. Final QA: story clarity, shot order, continuity, visual artifacts, and export readiness.

Rules

  • Story clarity beats visual novelty. Do not overproduce beautiful shots that do not serve the film.
  • Keep a shared style bible so shots feel like one film.
  • Do not silently change characters, products, claims, or key user references.
  • Ask for confirmation when the premise, ending, product representation, or visual identity is ambiguous enough to change the result.
  • Replace external generation or assembly steps with equivalent OpenChatCut capabilities when they exist. Do not introduce unrelated OpenChatCut features just because they are available.

Output

When planning, show a concise brief and shot list. When executing, report generated clips, timeline structure, and any shots that need user review.
