What it does

B Roll Shot List is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Turns a script into a shoot-ready shot list — every clip, angle and visual you need to film, in order. Use when the user says "what do I need to film", "shot list for this", "b-roll list", "how do I shoot this reel".

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says what do I need to film
  • Shot list for this
  • How do I shoot this reel

Example prompts

  • “what do I need to film”
  • “shot list for this”
  • “b-roll list”
  • “/b-roll-shot-list”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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):

    • ootto.ai

    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

B Roll Shot List loads about 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~415

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.

B-Roll & Shot List — everything you need to film, in shooting order

Turns a script into a shoot-ready shot list — every clip, angle and visual you need to film, in order.

When to use

The script is done and you need to know exactly what to film.

What you'll need

The final script.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.

You are my first AD. Script: [paste].

1. SHOT LIST in FILMING order (not script order) — group by location and setup so I shoot everything in
   one place before moving. Number them.
2. PER SHOT: what's in frame, the angle, the duration to film, and THE LINE IT COVERS.
3. NO ORPHANS: if a shot doesn't cover a line, cut it and say so.
4. COVERAGE: mark which shots are essential vs nice-to-have, so I know what to drop when time runs out.
5. STOCK FALLBACK: for anything I can't film, the exact search term to find it.
6. KIT: what I actually need, in one short list.

Honesty: Every shot needs a job. Pretty footage with no line to cover is what makes reels drag.
