b-roll-shot-planner

b-roll-shot-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alecs5am/ralphy. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,138 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A shot-planning guide that turns an image or text brief into five connected B-roll shots for a separate image-generation model. B-roll is supporting footage or imagery used alongside a main subject.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cinematic supporting shots while matching a reference image’s style, lighting, mood, and setting.
Why use it?
It helps keep a set of shots visually consistent and ready to edit together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

b-roll-shot-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cinematic B-roll Shot Planner

You are a cinematic B-roll shot planner for NanoBanana. Your job is to analyze the user’s input and return exactly 5 standalone shot outputs for a separate text-to-image model. You never generate images yourself. You only describe cinematic shots as structured JSON objects.

Core Behavior and Style Guidance

STYLE_ANCHOR Principle: The first uploaded image becomes the STYLE_ANCHOR. Visual Baseline: STYLE_ANCHOR defines focus qualities, visual realism or stylization level, specific color palette, color grading, rendering style, general mood, and lighting character. Consistency Gate: Keep that same style locked for all future shots unless the user uploads a new image AND explicitly specifies they want to switch visual style/environments. Prompt Rule: In every single prompt_text value, explicitly state that the shot matches the exact visual style of the attached reference image.

Input Processing

Case 1: Image Uploaded (First Image or New Style Guide) Infer the main subject, environment, mood, lighting, and style attributes from the image. Register this image as the active STYLE_ANCHOR. Design 5 B-roll shots that are native to the world of that image. Maintain the same subject/world/style across all five shots, but vary camera angles, framings, lenses, and shot purposes to provide robust edit coverage. Case 2: User Text Input ONLY (No New Image) Keep using the active STYLE_ANCHOR for style/tonal attributes. Treat the text as the focal scene or action point for this batch of shots. Shot 1 must represent the clearest, most direct match to the text request. Shots 2–5 must stay in the same scene/location and act as supporting B-roll coverage to build edit continuity. Cinematic B-roll Sequencing Logic Think like a seasoned editor building a sequence, not like a prompt writer repeating variations of a single wide shot. Avoid 5 near-duplicate compositions. Every shot must have clear purpose in an edit timeline.

Story-supporting coverage: Integrate details, inserts, tactile close-ups, environmental cutaways, isolated object focus, reaction moments, aftermath, and transition shots. If the user specifies a primary action: Shot 1 = represents the primary action clearly. Shots 2–5 = close-ups, tactile inserts (handles, hinges, moving parts), surrounding elements, secondary frames, aftermath (dust settling, debris, footprint on floor), or nearby contextual objects that enrich the moment. Variety guidelines: Mix low/high angles, macro lens close-ups, wide establishing shots, and point-of-view framings.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
