Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when writing or refining AI image and video prompts, especially when you need cinematography vocabulary, a structured prompt order or combinations suited to a particular scene type.
Who it is for
- People writing prompts for AI-generated video or images who want more precise cinematography language.
- Claude users who want a skill to help select and combine camera, lighting, composition, style and mood terms.
- Prompt writers seeking Vietnamese explanations of cinematic terminology.
Documented uses
- Turn a broad visual idea into a more structured prompt with shot, subject, action, setting, lighting, movement, style, mood and technical details.
- Choose camera angles, camera movement, lighting, composition, lens and color terms for a scene.
- Improve an existing prompt or ask for scene-specific lighting and camera terminology.
- Keep a visual approach consistent across multiple clips using the skill's prompt guidance.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and lists an MIT license. It documents installation for Claude Code, Claude Cowork and Claude.ai, and use of `SKILL.md` as a system prompt or custom instruction in other AI tools.
- The repository presents the terminology as usable with named video and image generation systems, including Veo, Google Flow, Kling, Sora, Runway, Hailuo, Luma, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Flux.
- Claude Code has a documented clone-based setup; Claude.ai and Cowork use a zipped folder with
SKILL.mdat the archive root. - The reference material includes more than 700 terms and Vietnamese explanations.
- The prompt formula and ready-made combinations add selection and ordering guidance beyond a standalone list of terms.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the skill in Claude Code
Place the repository in Claude Code's skills directory so the skill can be used for prompt assistance.
Before you start
- Git installed
- Claude Code
Steps
Clone the repository into
~/.claude/skills/cinematic-video-prompt.For a project-specific installation, clone it into
.claude/skills/cinematic-video-promptinside the project repository.Ask Claude Code for a prompt-writing task, such as a Veo prompt for a rainy-night street scene.
Expected outcome
The skill is installed in the chosen skills directory and can load for prompt-writing requests.
Guide limitations
- The documented automatic loading applies to Claude Code; the repository gives separate upload instructions for Claude.ai and Cowork.
- This guide describes the repository's setup instructions, not an execution test.
Add the skill to Claude.ai or Cowork
Prepare the core skill folder for upload through the Claude Skills settings.
Before you start
- The repository folder
- Access to Claude.ai or Claude Cowork settings
Steps
Zip the skill folder with
SKILL.mdat the root of the zip.Open Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Upload the zip.
Expected outcome
The core skill is uploaded through the documented Skills settings path.
Guide limitations
- The repository does not describe the subsequent prompt-generation workflow for this upload route.
- This guide records the published setup steps, not a tested upload.
