What it does
Hailuo Prompting is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Prompt MiniMax's Hailuo video line — the chronological beat order it animates from, the fifteen bracketed camera commands the Director endpoints accept and the three-per-bracket rule, when to switch promptoptimizer off, why there is no negative prompt to fall back on, and prompting the delta on image-to-video. Use whenever the model id names Hailuo or MiniMax video-01 (fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-2.3/pro/text-to-video, fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/pro/image-to-video, fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02-fast/image-to-video…
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.
It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation and Prompt engineering. It works with fal and MiniMax. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- The model id names Hailuo
- MiniMax video-01 (fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-2.3/pro/text-to-video
- Fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/pro/image-to-video
- Fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02-fast/image-to-video
Example prompts
- “/hailuo-prompting”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fefb6d1. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
fal.aiakool.com
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
Hailuo Prompting loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 195 tokens; SKILL.md has 651 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Prompt MiniMax's Hailuo video line — the chronological beat order it animates from, the fifteen bracketed camera commands the Director endpoints accept and the three-per-bracket rule, when to switch prompt_optimizer off, why there is no negative prompt to fall back on, and prompting the delta on image-to-video. Use whenever the model id names Hailuo or MiniMax video-01 (fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-2.3/pro/text-to-video, fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/pro/image-to-video, fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02-fast/image-to-video, fal-ai/minimax/video-01-director, fal-ai/minimax/video-01-subject-reference, hailuo/2-3-image-to-video-pro, minimax/hailuo-2.3, minimax/hailuo-02-fast) on generate_video, animate_image or a TextToVideo node. Not for MiniMax H3, which has its own guide.
Hailuo → a sequence of beats, in order
Hailuo animates the order it reads. It has no negative prompt, no shot list and no CFG dial, so every control you get is in the wording: what happens, in what order, and how the camera behaves while it happens. Clips run 6 or 10 seconds (10 s is unavailable at 1080p on Hailuo 02).
Reach it with find_model for text_to_video or image_to_video, then
generate_video / animate_image.
Write the action as beats
Break one motion into the beats it is made of and connect them with sequencing words — first, then, as, finally. The model animates that order.
A skateboarder rolls toward a handrail in an empty underground car park. First he crouches low over the deck, then he pops the tail and the board snaps up under him, and as he lands on the rail the trucks grind along the steel, sparks trailing behind. Finally he drops off the end and rolls out of frame past a pillar.
Compare "a skateboarder does a trick on a rail", which gives the model the whole choreography to invent and no reason to resolve it the way you meant.
Emotional beats work the same way. "She reads the letter with growing concern, tears well up, then she crumples the paper and throws it" is three animatable states; "she is sad about the letter" is one adjective.
Camera
On the Director endpoints (video-01-director and its image-to-video form),
camera moves are commands in square brackets. Fifteen are supported:
[Truck left] [Truck right] [Pan left] [Pan right] [Push in]
[Pull out] [Pedestal up] [Pedestal down] [Tilt up] [Tilt down]
[Zoom in] [Zoom out] [Shake] [Tracking shot] [Static shot]
Two placement rules carry all of it. Commands inside one bracket happen at the
same time, capped at three: [Truck left, Pan right, Zoom in]. Commands at
different points in the prompt happen in that order:
[Static shot] The chef sets the plate down under the pass light. [Push in]
He wipes the rim with a cloth, then looks up. [Tilt up, Pan right] The dining
room comes into view behind him.Every other Hailuo endpoint takes camera direction as prose only — "a slow tracking shot follows her", "the camera racks focus from the leaves to her face". Brackets there are just text.
prompt_optimizer
On by default across the whole line, it rewrites your prompt with an LLM before generation. Leave it on for a short prompt: it fills in the detail you did not write. Switch it off once your prompt is a deliberate brief — it will otherwise rewrite away the specific wardrobe, the specific light, and the beat order you just spent effort on.
Show full SKILL.md (243 more words)Show less
Image to video
The frame is already decided. Prompt only what changes: motion, camera, light over time, environment animation. Naming the subject briefly to anchor the reference is fine — "the red-haired woman turns slowly to face camera" — but a paragraph re-describing the still is a paragraph not spent on the delta.
Keep the framing consistent with the source. Asking a close-up input for a wide establishing move is how you get a hallucinated body.
video-01-subject-reference holds a face across the clip from one reference
image; describe the person's action, not their appearance.
No negative prompt
There is no field, and "no text, no watermark, not blurry" in the prompt is read as content. Say what should be there instead. Empty sky, not "no birds". A bare concrete wall, not "no graffiti".
Symptoms
| What went wrong | What to change |
|---|---|
| The action resolves in the wrong order | Number the beats with first / then / as / finally |
| The camera drifts | Use a bracketed command on a Director endpoint, or name the move in prose |
| Your specifics disappeared | Set prompt_optimizer false |
| A body appears where the input image was cropped | Match the prompt's framing to the input |
| The thing you excluded shows up anyway | Rewrite the exclusion as a positive description |
Grade the render with analyze_video and detect_video_scenes, and
understand_video when you need a written read of what landed.
