What it does

Shot Prompt is an agent skill from machina-exm/film-studio-skills. Turn a shot card into a 15-block prompt before video. Use when every in-frame asset is locked and a shot is ready to generate.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 7 installable agent skills that run the pipeline behind $2M AI video productions — script to locked, generation-ready shot prompts. Claude Code · Codex · Hermes · OpenCode.

When your agent uses it

  • Every in-frame asset is locked and a shot is ready to generate

Example prompts

  • “/shot-prompt”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the ## AI film studio section in the project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md.
  2. Use the configured video model only as the destination for the finished prompt.
  3. If the section is missing, tell the user to run setup first.
  4. Continue if requested by asking which video model they use and how they submit prompts.
  5. Locate the shot card in /prompts/, /docs/registry.md, /docs/breakdown.md, and the passports of every in-frame asset under /assets/.
  6. If /prompts/ or /docs/ is missing, offer to create the needed folder in the studio tree.
  7. Ask which one scene and shot to write.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3145173. 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 markdown).

    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

Shot Prompt loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 765 words (~1,326 tokens).

“Turn one shot card and its locked asset passports into one versioned prompt. Keep the fifteen blocks in the fixed order below.”
