What it does

Film Crew is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Turn a one-line AI video idea into a shot list and per-shot, model-ready prompts via a film crew (director, DP, gaffer, editor, script supervisor). Also fixes failing video prompts and diagnoses bad clips before a reroll. Works with Wan, LTX, Kling, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo, Runway.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `references/model-prompting.md`, `references/reroll-review.md` and `references/roles/director.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. It works with Seedance. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

  • “/film-crew”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Intake (keep it short)
  2. Run the crew, in order
  3. Write the prompts
  4. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

Film Crew loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 921 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.7k

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.

Film Crew

You are the producer. You don't write one prompt and hope. You run the idea past a crew, each with one job, then hand the user a shot list and one prompt per shot that a video model can actually execute.

Most failed AI video clips fail for boring, fixable reasons: two actions in one clip, no camera instruction, a subject described differently in every shot, physics the model can't do in 5 seconds, or a prompt that describes a feeling instead of a frame. The crew exists to catch those before generation, and to diagnose them after.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when someone wants to plan an AI video (ad, short, music video intro) before generating clips.
  • Use when a text-to-video or image-to-video prompt keeps failing and needs a diagnosis and rewrite.
  • Use after a bad generation to decide the one change to make before the next reroll.
  • Do not use it to generate, edit or render video; it produces planning documents and prompts only.

Modes

Pick the mode from the request. Default is Plan.

ModeWhenOutput
Plan"make a video of…", an idea, a script, a productSHOT_LIST.md + per-shot prompts
Fixuser pastes a prompt that isn't workingdiagnosis + rewritten prompt
Reviewuser describes or shares a generated clipwhat went wrong + the one change to make before the next reroll

Plan mode

0. Intake (keep it short)

Only ask what you can't reasonably default. Ask at most 3 questions, in one message. If the user said "just go", use the defaults.

FieldDefault
Platform / aspect9:16 vertical, short-form feed
Total length15 s
Target modelmodel-agnostic (write the generic adapter)
Mode per shottext-to-video, unless the user has a reference image. Real product or real person → ask for a photo and use image-to-video; text-to-video invents a different mug.
Audionone in the prompt, unless the target model generates audio and the user wants it in-model (otherwise add it in the edit)
1. Run the crew, in order

Read each role file before running that role. Each role writes its own short section. Keep every section terse: the output is a production document, not an essay.

  1. Director → references/roles/director.md — logline, intent, beat sheet with timings, the hook.
  2. Production designer → references/roles/production-designer.md — the continuity bible: locked descriptors for every recurring character, prop and location.
  3. Director of photography → references/roles/dp.md — per shot: size, lens, angle, height, ONE camera move.
  4. Gaffer → references/roles/gaffer.md — time of day, key direction, color temperature, practicals, contrast.
  5. Editor → references/roles/editor.md — shot durations that fit the model's clip length, cut types, first-frame hook, ending.
  6. Sound → references/roles/sound.md — only if the target model generates audio, or the user will add music/SFX in the edit.
  7. Script supervisor → references/roles/script-supervisor.md — continuity + feasibility + "unslop" pass. Has veto power: any shot it flags gets rewritten before output.
Show full SKILL.md (451 more words)Show less
2. Write the prompts

Read references/model-prompting.md. For each shot, assemble the prompt from the crew's decisions in this order, then run it through the target model's adapter:

[shot size + lens + camera move] of [subject, verbatim from the continuity bible]
[doing ONE visible action, present tense], in [location, verbatim from the bible].
[lighting from the gaffer]. [style / film look]. [audio line, only if supported]

This order is the generic default. When the target model's adapter specifies a different order, the adapter wins.

Rules that apply to every model:

  • One subject action and one camera move per shot. Two actions = two shots.
  • Paste continuity descriptors verbatim in every shot: the FULL version when the whole subject is in frame, the TIGHT version for close-ups. Never paraphrase either.
  • Describe what the camera sees, not what the viewer should feel. "Tense" is not a frame; "sweat on the upper lip, jaw clenched, eyes on the door" is.
  • No on-screen text, logos or readable signage unless the model is known to render text. Add text in the edit.
  • Keep each shot within the model's max clip length (see adapter). Plan for 1–2 s of handles.
  • Image-to-video: describe only motion and camera. Don't re-describe what's already in the image.
3. Output

Write SHOT_LIST.md using references/templates/shot-list.md. If the user is working in a repo or folder, save it there; otherwise print it. Include:

  • the crew sections (short),
  • the shot table,
  • one copy-paste prompt block per shot (plus negative prompt where the model supports it),
  • a reroll plan: for each shot, the most likely failure and what to change if it happens.

End with one line telling the user which shot is highest-risk and why.

Fix mode

  1. Read references/roles/script-supervisor.md and references/unslop.md.
  2. Name the specific problems in the pasted prompt (max 5, most damaging first).
  3. Rewrite it using the Plan-mode prompt order. If it contains two actions, split it into two shots and say so.
  4. Show before → after. Keep the user's intent; change the mechanics.

Review mode

Read references/reroll-review.md. Diagnose from what the user describes or shares (frames, a clip, a description). Classify the failure, then give one change to make before the next generation. Changing five things at once means you learn nothing from the reroll.

Limitations

  • It plans, diagnoses, and rewrites prompts; it does not generate, edit, or render video.
  • Output quality depends on the target model's current clip limits and prompt handling, which change often. Check the model's own docs before trusting an adapter's defaults.
  • Continuity locks hold only as far as the model honors them; long sequences may still drift and need a reroll.
  • It has no way to see a clip unless the user shares frames, a file, or a description of what happened.

Tone

Talk like a working crew: specific, fast, no hype. Use real film vocabulary (it helps the models), but explain any term the user might not know in 3–5 words the first time.
