Is the Shortfilm Prompt skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Shortfilm Prompt SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Shortfilm Prompt?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Shortfilm Prompt with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 512deba

Fetched SKILL.md and confirmed frontmatter (name+description) parses; verified referenced files exist via raw fetch (templates/15s-transformation.md 200, templates/project-planner.md 200, examples/02 200) — note templates are at repo root, so install must copy them in. Ran the output test myself: wrote a baseline 15s warrior-armor-transformation video prompt without the skill, then one following the 5-stage structure + seven rules. Baseline was full of banned vague-praise ("epic/cinematic/movie-quality/4K/stunning") and a Rule-6 FX-pileup climax ("heroic hero shot... energy blazing"); the skill version replaced these with named camera+lens (Sony Venice + Canon K-35), the exact breath-float sentence, an enumerated production-audio sound line, 5+ imperfection anchors, a restrained no-FX closing, a per-second storyboard, and a negative-prompt block + Doubao 5s/10s model caveat. Concrete, quotable improvement targeting real model failure modes.

What Shortfilm Prompt does

Generates copy-paste-ready prompts for AI video models (Seedance, Sora, Kling, Veo, Jimeng, Hailuo) using a fixed 5-stage structure — core theme, character/scene, camera+lens, camera rules, per-second or per-shot storyboard — plus seven hard rules (named camera/lens, breath-float line, production-audio-only sound line, imperfection anchors, restrained no-FX closing, IP-name avoidance). Triggers when the user wants a transformation, multi-shot narrative, weapon-charge/combat, emotional family/pet/farewell, or any cinematic video-model prompt. Ships a per-genre template library and per-model compatibility notes.

How to install Shortfilm Prompt

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts.git /tmp/shortfilm-prompt-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/shortfilm-prompt
cp -R /tmp/shortfilm-prompt-src/skills/shortfilm-prompt/. ~/.claude/skills/shortfilm-prompt/
cp -R /tmp/shortfilm-prompt-src/templates ~/.claude/skills/shortfilm-prompt/templates
# The 30+ genre templates live at the REPO ROOT (templates/), not inside the skill dir.
# The line above copies them in so the SKILL's relative template paths resolve.
# No external tools/keys needed — pure prompt-text generation. Also installable as a
# plugin via the repo's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json if you use plugin marketplaces.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
