What it does
A Codex skill that expands a xianxia scene idea, image prompt, keyframe or reference video into a one-line story spine, a continuity lock card, a shot table and per-shot video prompts. Each shot gets an opening frame, character action, a purposeful main camera move (push, pull-back reveal, parallax, crane, lead/follow, aerial dive, restrained orbit, dolly zoom or locked-off), a speed curve, one or two layers of environment motion and a stable end state, with shot durations that sum exactly. It is model-agnostic and does not trigger paid generation. Instructions are in Chinese; the repo ships no license file, so reuse rights are not granted.
Use when
- Plan a multi-shot Chinese fantasy (xianxia) video with clear camera moves
- Expand an image prompt or keyframe into a sequence of shots
- Give every shot a start frame, motivated move, speed curve and stable end
- Keep characters, costumes and landmarks consistent across shots
Install
