At a glance

Writes concrete cinematic prompts for image and video generation through the genmedia CLI, covering framing, camera moves, lens, lighting and color.

  • Works in 5 steps: Start from routed endpoint IDs. → Inspect schema and use only supported… → Upload references when using… → …
  • Writing a video prompt with specific camera movement and lighting
  • SKILL.md covers Inputs to collect, Genmedia workflow, Prompt build order and Model routing, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The agent collects only the details that change a shot: subject and action, the medium (still, video, image-to-video, edit or storyboard frame), genre and mood, framing, camera motion, lens feel, lighting and output settings such as aspect ratio and duration. It avoids empty prestige words and builds prompts in a fixed order called SCLCAM, starting with subject, context, and lens and framing.

In the genmedia workflow it looks up endpoints with genmedia models, inspects each endpoint's schema and pricing, uploads reference frames for image-to-video or first and last frames, then runs stills with direct download and video asynchronously. Three reference files cover shot language, lighting, lens and color, and examples, and a separate model-routing skill is loaded for default endpoint choices.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a video prompt with specific camera movement and lighting
  • Directing a still image with deliberate lens, framing and color choices
  • Planning storyboard frames or first and last frames for image-to-video

Example prompts

  • “Write a slow push-in video prompt for a rainy neon alley with noir lighting and shallow focus.”
  • “Direct a still of a lighthouse keeper at dusk with a wide lens feel and warm backlight.”
  • “Make an image-to-video shot from ./frame.png with a handheld tracking move and a cool color grade.”

Requirements

  • The genmedia CLI with access to the model endpoints

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start from routed endpoint IDs.
  2. Inspect schema and use only supported controls.
  3. Upload references when using image-to-video, first frame, last frame, style
  4. Run stills with direct download.
  5. Run video async.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ca8504. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Cinematography Prompts for Genmedia loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 415 words (~1,232 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user needs cinematic direction, not generic "make it cinematic" prompting. Load references as needed:”
