video-prompting

video-prompting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from palmier-io/palmier-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (2,546 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for writing detailed prompts for AI video generation, editing, and multimodal scenes using images, video, and audio references.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan production briefs, assign authority to references, stage timed shots, and prepare prompts for cinematic clips, edits, and multimodal video.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when several reference files need different roles, while keeping characters, screens, timing, and motion consistent.

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

video-prompting 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video Prompting

Write a production brief, not a vibe paragraph. Models fail when every asset competes for identity, motion, camera, and style.

Core rule

Assign authority before action. Every reference gets one job and an explicit boundary on what it must not control. Then: lock continuity → place screen geography → time the shot → light/sound → short negatives.

When to use which skill

Kinetic titles / flat glass UI / H3 product journey promos motion-graphics

Session gates

  1. get_timeline — if canGenerate is false, ask user to sign in / subscribe.
  2. list_models for image / video / audio — ids and caps drift.
  3. Propose prompt + model + duration + aspect (+ refs). Wait for confirmation — paid, not undoable.
  4. Fire generate_*; do not busy-poll. Ready when get_media({ ids }) has no generationStatus. On failed, report and ask before retry.
  5. Organize with folder (e.g. Hero/Sheets, Hero/Takes).

Reference wiring

Tool argument Prompt tags Typical job
startFrameMediaRef / endFrameMediaRef implied first/last frame Image-to-video anchors
referenceImageMediaRefs @Image1… (some Kling: @Element1) Identity, wardrobe, product, scene
referenceVideoMediaRefs @Video1 Motion timing, camera rhythm
referenceAudioMediaRefs @Audio1 Voice, lip-sync audio, music timing
generate_imagereferenceMediaRefs model-specific Still identity lock

Declare authority when multiple refs are passed:

@Image1 defines identity and wardrobe only. Ignore its background.
@Video1 defines motion timing and camera only. Do not inherit its people or location.
@Audio1 defines <Character>'s voice timbre and delivery only.

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.
