What it does

This special skill is used alongside the bound Default H3 prompt-writing skill. It shapes the drama and the production plan, while the default skill keeps the official MiniMax H3 Ref2VA structure and reference syntax. One Studio project is one episode, and the work starts from a compact brief covering genre, audience promise, the protagonist's visible goal, resistance, hooks and production limits.

Story rules require every scene and shot to change information, relationship, objective, risk or emotion, to plant evidence before a reversal, and to end the episode on a hook that moves the story forward. Before writing shots it locks character appearance, wardrobe, props, what each person knows and who holds each key object. It asks only for missing facts that would change the story and labels its assumptions.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing an urban drama, suspense or romance episode for H3
  • Turning a family conflict or social-topic monologue into timed shots
  • Planning reference media for an episodic short
  • Producing Director Design JSON for an editable H3 Timeline

Example prompts

  • “Develop episode one of a suspense short about a missing wedding ring, vertical format, with a closing hook.”
  • “Turn this family inheritance conflict into timed Shot Blocks with exact dialogue.”
  • “Plan the reference images and clips I need for this romance episode.”

Requirements

  • MiniMax H3 Director Cut Studio with the Default H3 prompt-writing skill bound

Workflow steps

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

  1. A visible trigger changes the present situation.
  2. A character pursues an immediate objective.
  3. Another person, object, rule, deadline or hidden fact creates resistance.
  4. The character makes a choice that produces a visible consequence.
  5. The consequence forces the next Shot rather than resetting the scene.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bdc33d. 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

Short Drama H3 Director loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,189 words (~2,283 tokens).

“Apply this Special Skill together with the bound Default H3 prompt-writing skill. Shape the drama and its production plan; let the Default Skill preserve the official MiniMax H3 Ref2VA structure and reference syntax.”
