Two agent skills that write cinematic AI video and image prompts with model-specific syntax

In short

Visual Skills is a pair of agent skills, video and image, that write prompts for AI video and image models the way a director and an art director would. The repository is tagged for Hermes Agent along with Claude Code, Cursor and other skill-aware agents.

What Visual Skills does

Visual Skills contains two skills. The video skill writes AI video prompts like a director, screenwriter and editor, and the image skill writes image prompts like an art director. Each one picks the right model for the task, applies its exact syntax and returns a copy-paste-ready prompt. Covered models are Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 Turbo and Omni, Veo 3.1, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.5.

The README puts dramaturgy before syntax. The video skill centers on a reference file, video/references/dramaturgy.md, with a scene formula of desire, obstacle, geometry, gaze and rhythm, a Details Law that gives every shot physical facts, and Walter Murch's Rule of Six for deciding where to cut. Words such as cinematic, epic, stunning and masterpiece are banned because they stand in for details the writer failed to invent. The README is available in English and Russian.
