Per-shot production specification workflow: takes a completed scene inventory (from scene-inventory-extractor-v2) and decomposes every scene into numbered shots with full directorial direction — actor position and movement, camera mount and motion, lens, lighting setup, practical effects, timing, and clip boundaries. Generates storyboard keyframe images via nanobanana, assembles video generation prompts with model routing, and maintains an asset pipeline with consistent file naming and a…

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

# Shot Specifier

Takes a completed scene inventory and reference image set as input and produces
generation-ready shot specifications: numbered shots with full directorial direction,
storyboard keyframes, video prompts, model routing, and an asset pipeline.

This skill is explicitly **expensive**. Generating storyboard images for every shot in
every scene requires many image generation calls. Per-shot video generation is more
expensive still. This cost is the price of consistency and production quality — do not
skip shots or reduce keyframe coverage to save cost unless the user explicitly requests
it.

## Input Requirements

Before beginning, verify the following inputs are available:

| Input | Location | Required? |
|-------|----------|-----------|
| Scene inventory document | `{project}/scene-pack/{project}_scene_inventory.md` | Required |
| Reference images | `{project}/image_out/` or `{project}/refs/` | Required |
| Prompt keyword library | `{project}/{project}_prompt_keywords.md` | Required |
| Continuity inventory | `{project}/{project}_continuity_inventory.md` | Strongly recommended |
| Video role manifest | Section in scene inventory | Required |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leynos/visual-storytelling-skills/shot-specifier@sha256:e992a36c871914fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.4a02d38, 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.
