What it does

Zy Cinematic Realism is an agent skill from popopo-99/zy-cinematic-realism. Develop supplied scripts, short stories, or synopses into scene understanding, director-facing art concepts, and motivated narrative keyframes; compile scene ideas, visual references, or existing prompts into model-native image prompts when requested. Use for story visual development, cinematic creation, or Dream Decode visual analysis and transfer; preserve a reference's non-photographic medium. Supports ChatGPT Images 2.5 / GPT Image 2.5 (with GPT Image 2 legacy compatibility), Midjourney, Seedream 5.0 Pro…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 82 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `NOTICE.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `assets/basic-prompt-template.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation and Creative writing and fiction. It works with Google Gemini, Midjourney and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Turn simple scene ideas into restrained, physically believable cinematic AIGC prompts.

When your agent uses it

  • Story visual development
  • Cinematic creation
  • Dream Decode visual analysis and transfer
  • Preserve a references non-photographic medium

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse fixed facts: era, place, characters, event, mood, time, weather, aspect ratio, target model, references, and restrictions.
  2. Choose a specific story beat with a narrative before, concrete current action, and implied next event. Use the emotional direction and…
  3. Give each character physical blocking and a concrete current action. Express emotion through posture, distance, gaze, silence, and object…
  4. Construct foreground, midground, background, usable topology, causal traces of use, and materially consistent surfaces.
  5. Place the camera at a physically possible witness position. Choose distance, height, focal behavior, boundary, and movement only as the…
  6. Map motivated sources, protected shadows, highlight surfaces, exposure behavior, and restrained color relationships.
  7. Apply only the requested creative grammar. Do not let a card or director overwrite fixed facts.
  8. Compile through the selected model adapter. Select scene-specific exclusions rather than pasting a generic negative list.
  9. Apply anti-AI cleanup and run the quality checklist before answering.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a3b36d. 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

Zy Cinematic Realism loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~98k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 153 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~153
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~98k

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.
