It includes a cinematography reference covering shot types, camera angles from Dutch tilt to bird's-eye view, movement styles, and genre-specific color grading presets. Characters get dedicated reference sheets and voice profiles, preventing AI models from morphing facial features across scenes. It checks prompts for anachronisms against specific historical settings, creates YouTube SEO metadata, and exports files to Markdown, JSON, or plain text. The tool operates through the `cinematic-script` CLI command, which requires Node.js installed on your machine. Project files save directly to Google Drive via `googleapis` with OAuth2 authentication, using the local downloads folder as a fallback. Without completing the Google Drive sign-in, files will write strictly to local storage. ## Requirements - Works with: Google Drive ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer --skill cinematic-script-writer -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/cinematic-script-writer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cinematic-script-writer/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer --skill cinematic-script-writer -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/cinematic-script-writer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer --skill cinematic-script-writer -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/cinematic-script-writer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer cinematic-script-writer ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/cinematic-script-writer/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer --skill cinematic-script-writer -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/cinematic-script-writer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer --skill cinematic-script-writer -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/praveenspeaks/cinematic-script-writer/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md ## When to use it - generate scene prompts with camera angles and lighting setups for AI video - track character visual traits and voice profiles across multiple scenes - detect historical anachronisms in video generation prompts - produce SEO titles, descriptions, and tags for YouTube uploads - export completed scripts to Markdown, JSON, or plain text ## Example prompts - Create a story context set in Ancient India and generate three plot ideas - Suggest a camera angle and lighting setup for an interior dramatic dialogue - Validate this Midjourney prompt for era accuracy against character ref char1 ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
