Minimax H3 Prompting is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Prompt MiniMax H3 — choosing between its text-to-video, first-and-last-frame and reference-to-video endpoints, assigning an explicit job to every reference image, clip and audio file, writing a timecoded shot list inside the prompt, art-directing the native stereo audio, and naming a change and its constraint together when editing a clip. Use whenever the model id starts with minimax/h3 (minimax/h3/text-to-video, minimax/h3/image-to-video, minimax/h3/reference-to-video, their /lora variants, minimax/h3-max/ and…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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. It works with MiniMax. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 339f069. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Minimax H3 Prompting loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 161 tokens; SKILL.md has 887 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.
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.

.claude/skills/minimax-h3-prompting/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).H3 is a general-purpose multimodal video model rather than a set of task models. Text, images, video and audio all enter one context, so a single request can carry a character's identity from a photo, camera language and cutting rhythm from a clip, and a voice from a recording, and resolve them into one shot with native stereo audio. Output runs 5 to 15 seconds at 24 fps in 2K, and prompts run up to 7,000 characters — a full shot list with sound design fits in one request.
Reach it with find_model for text_to_video or image_to_video, then
generate_video / animate_image.
A timecoded shot list in one request is also what keeps the native audio
continuous across the cuts — video-audio-continuity for when to fit a whole
multi-scene piece into a single generation.
The rule is mechanical:
1. Assign a job to every reference. This is the one habit that changes the most. "Use Image 1 for the overall mood, location and film texture; Image 2 for the talent; Image 3 for the bag; and Image 4 for the closing brand mark" beats four images and a description. It works across modalities too: "Match the camera move in Video 1. Make the subject in Video 2 sing, using Video 3 as the reference for both the vocal performance and physical delivery."
2. Write a timed shot list for anything past one beat. Timecoded blocks hold the pacing: "[0 to 2 seconds] High-angle overhead shot… [2 to 4 seconds] Smoothly push in to her right arm… [10 to 15 seconds] As she stands, the full world loads around her." Without them a 15-second generation drifts into a slideshow.
3. Direct the audio. It is generated natively, so art-direct it like a shot: "a deep sub-bass pulse, distant metallic resonance, and one restrained hit as the title locks into focus", or "ice tapping crystal, a faint cigar burn, subtle room air, clothing movement, controlled breathing". For music, describe instrumentation and structure over time, including where the beat lands.
4. State what you do not want. Negative direction is unusually effective and rewards being specific. "No soft dissolves or fluid morphs." "Do not introduce garbled characters or misspellings." "No tearing, black frames, obvious VFX, or compositing seams." These keep a stylized prompt from sliding into a neighbouring genre.
5. Lock identity by listing the details. "Preserve the half-up long black hair, openwork silver crown, indigo ribbon, layered pale hanfu, translucent blue outer robe, deep-blue sash, silver floral fastener, and long tassels." Naming features gives the model something to hold. The same works for products, sets and typography.
6. For edits, name the change and the constraint together. Write substitutions as a list: "Replace the newspaper with a green hardcover book; replace the chair with a red sofa; remove the subject's sunglasses and reveal a clear face." Pair each change with what must stay stable and you get a localized edit instead of a regenerated shot.
7. Use camera and film language. Lens choice, movement, exposure behaviour and stock character all translate: "subtle handheld shake, then push in quickly and rack focus", "wide angle with strong perspective distortion", "fine grain, soft highlight halation, restrained colour", "backlit exposure breathing, slightly coarse noise in the shadows".
8. Describe transitions as events, not names. "Fast binocular-scan transitions with whip movement, motion blur, optical smearing, and brief exposure flicker. Cut at peak blur, then settle and snap back into focus." Circular vinyl-record wipes, vertical car-door cuts and oversized letter masks all land better described than labelled.
Reading many references at once, rendering legible text and interfaces, and making precise localized edits to video you already have. That combination covers brand films and trailers, title sequences and motion-graphics collage, vertical short drama, product and e-commerce spots, game and web UI motion, character and motion transfer, voice cloning, and green-screen replacement — all from the same model.
Two shapes worth stealing. For a title sequence: name the design language, the transition vocabulary, the credit typography rules ("each role and each name appears once"), and a timed BGM brief. For a fashion or product film: assign mood, talent, product and brand mark to separate images, then keep the story simple and let the references carry the look.
Check the render with analyze_video, detect_video_scenes and
understand_video; analyze_audio for the mix you directed.

Minimax H3 Prompting is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Prompt MiniMax H3 — choosing between its text-to-video, first-and-last-frame and reference-to-video endpoints, assigning an explicit job to every reference image, clip and audio file, writing a timecoded shot list inside the prompt, art-directing the native stereo audio, and naming a change and its constraint together when editing a clip.
Minimax H3 Prompting fits situations like: the model id starts with minimax/h3 (minimax/h3/text-to-video; minimax/h3/image-to-video; minimax/h3/reference-to-video; their /lora variants.
Run `npx skills add nodetool-ai/nodetool --skill minimax-h3-prompting -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/system-skills/minimax-h3-prompting in nodetool-ai/nodetool) into .claude/skills/minimax-h3-prompting in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
