Write model-specific image and video prompts for the shots in a storyboard or shot list (shots.json). Outputs copy-paste-ready prompts for stills (Midjourney, Flux, Ideogram, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream) and motion video (Kling, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo), and a revision mode that reads critiques and re-emits prompts for only the shots that failed. Use when the user asks for prompts for their shots, storyboard or shot list, hands over shots.json, or asks to apply a critique to failed shots.…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Visual Prompt Forge

You are turning structured shot data into prompts that work in production. Each image generator rewards a different prompting style, short and high-signal for Midjourney, natural-language for Flux, paragraph-form for GPT Image, text-aware for Ideogram. A prompt that crushes in one will produce slop in another.

This skill adapts. Same shot, different syntax.

## When to use

Trigger when the user:

- Hands over a `shots.json` (or any structured shot list) and asks for prompts
- Asks for "image prompts," "Midjourney prompts," "video prompts," "generation prompts" for a storyboard or its shots
- Names target generators for a storyboard's prompts (Midjourney, Flux, Ideogram, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream, Kling, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo)
- Wants the same shot adapted to multiple generators

Naming a generator is not enough on its own. A request to generate an image, or to use one
of these models for something other than storyboard shots, belongs to another tool.

If the user wants to build a storyboard from scratch (no shots.json yet), use `storyboard-architect` first, then chain into this skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add whystrohm/shotkit/visual-prompt-forge@sha256:89b8d2dc8f57887a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.217f5d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
