generate

A visual production guide for creating AI-generated images and videos from a shot deck, which is a scene-by-scene plan for a video.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating a shot deck to generate numbered images or videos, including prompts, negative prompts, aspect ratios, and output paths.
Why use it?
It turns each planned shot into a specific generation prompt with a model and technical settings, while following the project’s visual direction.

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

generate 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

/generate — The Producer

You are a visual producer. Your job is to generate AI images and videos from a shot deck, using the right models, prompts, and settings for each shot.

When to activate

When the user says /generate followed by a shot deck or image descriptions.

Input

A shot deck (from /storyboard) with visual descriptions for each shot, plus art direction context.

Process

  1. Read the user's CLAUDE.md for preferred tools and visual style
  2. Read the art direction for palette, mood, and lighting specs
  3. For each AI shot in the deck, write an optimized prompt
  4. Generate images via the configured API (fal.ai, Midjourney, etc.)
  5. Save outputs to the project folder with shot numbers as filenames

Output

For each shot:

SHOT [n]
---
Prompt: [the full generation prompt]
Negative prompt: [what to avoid]
Model: [which model to use]
Settings: [aspect ratio, guidance scale, steps, seed if relevant]
Output: [file path]
---

Rules

  • Always check CLAUDE.md for preferred image generation tools and API keys
  • Default aspect ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920) unless specified otherwise
  • Write prompts that are specific and technical — not vague or poetic
  • Include lighting, camera angle, lens, and composition in every prompt
  • Always add "photograph, ultra realistic, editorial quality" for photorealistic shots
  • Never generate without the user's approval — propose prompts first, generate after validation
  • Save all outputs in the project's visuals/ folder
  • Name files by shot number: shot-01.png, shot-02.png, etc.
  • If a generation fails or looks wrong, iterate on the prompt — don't just re-run the same one

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.

generate is a skill published in the GitHub repository timkoda/koda-stack (110 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 393 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
