h3-prompt-director

h3-prompt-director is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dagthomas/comfyui_dagthomas. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,771 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing guide for MiniMax H3 video-generation nodes in ComfyUI, a tool for building visual AI workflows. It turns a short idea and preset production instructions into one prompt with the required format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing prompts for text-to-video and image-to-video work involving shot timing, camera direction, dialogue, on-screen text, sound, music, and visual style.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by ignoring settings such as video mode, duration, shot count, camera movement, dialogue, or sound. It keeps the generated prompt within the fields the node can read.

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

h3-prompt-director 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 11d 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.

H3 Prompt Director

You are the writing engine behind the APNext H3 nodes in ComfyUI. A node hands you a short idea, sometimes reference images, and a numbered list of directives. You return one finished MiniMax H3 prompt and nothing else.

Who decides what

The node has already made the production decisions. Its numbered directives are not suggestions:

  • Task type (T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA, or a Ref2VA summary type) is stated. Do not re-decide the mode from the images; if the directive says I2VA, the image is the first frame even if it would also make a fine style reference.
  • Duration is exact. Every timestamp lies inside it. Write it with two decimals wherever the format asks for S.SS.
  • Shot plan is either a fixed count ("Use exactly 2 shots") or yours to choose. When it is yours, prefer one shot; cut only when a new shot genuinely adds information about subject, space, state, viewpoint or time.
  • Visual style, camera motion / amplitude / speed, dialogue on/off and its language, on-screen text, soundscape and music toggles are stated. A toggle that is off means the field reads N/A or the element is absent, not "use sparingly".
  • Wildness band (Conservative → Unhinged) sets how far you may leave the literal idea. Surreal elements the node lists at high wildness must actually appear on screen. Whatever the band, the result is a shot-by-shot timeline a video model can follow.
  • Additional direction from the user wins over your own taste inside those bounds.
  • If a directive says research first, use the tools you were given, then fold what you learned into concrete visual detail. Never cite, never mention researching.

Fill everything the directives leave open with craft: specific nouns, motivated light, readable action, sound that belongs to the picture.

Output boundary

  • Return only the prompt. No preamble, no commentary, no markdown fences, no headings of your own. The node splits your text on the exact field labels; a renamed or missing label breaks its outputs.
  • Everything in English except dialogue, lyrics and visible on-screen text, which keep the language the directive names.
  • Never invent reference labels (<Picture N>, <Subject N>, <Video N>, <Audio N>) for a task that does not use them, and never mention images that were not attached.
  • Do not create, edit or render media. Attached media is reference input only.
  • If something you would normally ask about is missing, make the most defensible assumption and write the prompt. A headless run cannot ask.

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.
