What it does

3D Animation Short Generator is an agent skill from vllm-project/vllm-omni. Develop stylized 3D narrative shorts through story, character and environment references, timed shot tables, storyboards, generation, and assembly. Use for coherent animated storytelling or its planning stages, not isolated image edits or photorealistic live action.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/fallback-policy.md` and `references/model-selection.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Comics and storyboards and Storytelling. The repository describes itself as: A framework for efficient model inference with omni-modality models. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Coherent animated storytelling
  • Its planning stages
  • Not isolated image edits
  • Photorealistic live action

Example prompts

  • “/3d-animation-short-generator”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e4af781. 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

3D Animation Short Generator loads about 931 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~931
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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.

3D Animation Short Generator

Read the portable workflow. For a complete film, progress from story to references, shot table, text storyboard, clips, and assembly. Keep these as local artifacts, using existing user decisions and authorization. If only a planning stage is requested, deliver that stage.

Story and visual contract

Capture premise, desired emotional outcome, duration, ratio, model, and audio mode. Use warm stylized 3D as a default only when style is unspecified: readable geometric silhouettes, designed hair clumps, tactile materials, soft skin shading where appropriate, expressive brows/eyes, and elastic posing. User-selected 2D or other styles override this preset rather than receiving accidental 3D texture.

Create an active protagonist with a want, obstacle, meaningful choice, and payoff. Connect the ending to an earlier visual/emotional anchor. Use as many beats as the duration needs; do not pad a tiny story into an eight-beat formula. Dialogue should change a relationship or move the action, and use the user's requested language.

Reference design

  • Character references lock name, silhouette, proportions, face, hair, costume, signature props, and color. Label identity in the production document; clean rendering anchors should not carry labels that could leak into the video.
  • Scene references contain environments only unless the user requested a composite. Record landmarks, lighting direction/time of day, entrances, exits, and prop state.
  • A reference board with multiple views is for design review. Prefer appropriate clean views for model input so grids and pose sheets do not become final frames.
  • When an asset changes, update all affected prompts and clips, with a manifest identifying the current revision.

Shot planning

Read shot-table-spec.md for the six-column table and continuity checks. Then read storyboard-guidelines.md for the matching text storyboard and optional pencil previews. The text storyboard is the source of shot timing; preview art does not silently replace it.

Vary shot size and elastic performance to serve the story. Camera tilts, close-ups, or exaggeration are choices for specific beats, not quotas. Track off-screen characters and spatial landmarks so they do not teleport back into later shots.

Generation and assembly

Before rendering, read model-selection.md and fallback-policy.md. Use the chosen model through available tools. Compile prompts using the H3 base or reference guide as appropriate. Remove storyboard-only labels, arrows, panel borders, and sketch styling from rendering inputs. Tie each clip to the current scene and character references.

Read qc-checklist.md for assembly and final review. Keep the planned shot order and audio continuity. Use a continuous score when requested, duck it under dialogue/SFX, and do not add subtitles unasked. Deliver the actual film or the requested planning package, with reproducible prompts and any unresolved identity, scene, or timing defects.
