Fed it the same 3-shot scene as a plain baseline prompt; the skill version added per-shot continuity anchors (identity/costume/room locked across all 3 prompts) and enforced one primary action per shot, directly countering the two most common Kling/Runway multi-shot failures the baseline output was silently vulnerable to.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Cinematic Director does

Converts scripts, prose, or existing image/video assets into shot lists, director's-book notes, keyframe prompts, and tool-specific (Runway/Veo/Kling/Luma/Seedance) motion prompts, with an optional named-director style lens and a QC/repair loop for fixing 'slideshow' or identity-drift AI video failures. Triggers on requests to plan shots, storyboard a scene, write AI video prompts, or fix continuity/QC problems in generated video.
