Story beats, a novel excerpt or one idea to 6-30 s acted video prompts for Seedance, Kling, MiniMax H3 and Wan, with real example clips.

What it does

The skill first diagnoses what is visible in a story (event, conflict, emotional turn), then allots duration, structure, shots, performance, dialogue, sound, light and continuity before it writes a 6-30 second prompt for Seedance, Kling, MiniMax H3, Wan 3.0 or Hailuo. It has two paths: a self-contained direct-video prompt, or reference-first planning of character, set and prop images that the video prompt is then compiled against. References include 46 camera-movement modules, 25 observable emotion modules and a 9:16 adaptation guide; the repo shows four clips generated from its prompts. Instructions are in Chinese; MIT.
