USP

Provides model-specific prompt guidance for leading video generation models and a unique workflow for creating consistent characters via character and identity sheets, crucial for longer video projects.

Use cases

• 01Generating optimized prompts for text-to-video models.
• 02Creating detailed character sheets for consistent visual identity.
• 03Drafting prompts for specific video models like Sora or Veo 3.
• 04Producing photoreal identity sheets for real-person consistency in image-to-video.
• 05Streamlining the handoff process from character design to video generation.

  description: Draft and refine prompts for video generation models (text-to-video and image-to-video), and create character-sheet prompts for image models when the goal is character consistency before image-to-video. Use when a user asks for a "video prompt", a model-specific prompt such as Seedance 2.0, Ovi, Sora, Veo 3, Wan 2.2, LTX-2, or LTX-2.3, or a consistent-character prompt such as "character sheet prompt", "character turnaround", "character reference sheet", or "photographic identity sheet".

  # Video Prompting
  
  ## Overview
  
  Turn a user’s intent into either:
  
  - a strong, model-compliant video prompt, or
  - a strong image-model prompt for a character sheet that will later support image-to-video consistency.
  
  Model-specific video guidance lives in `references/models/`. Character-sheet guidance lives in `references/workflows/character-sheets.md`.
  This file is the entry point: route to the right path, ask the minimum clarifying questions, then draft the prompt in the expected format.
  
  ## Model Index
  
  - Ovi: `references/models/ovi/prompting.md`
  - Sora (Sora 2): `references/models/sora/prompting.md`
  - Veo 3 / 3.1: `references/models/veo3/prompting.md`
  - Wan 2.2: `references/models/wan22/prompting.md`
  - Seedance 2.0: `references/models/seedance2/prompting.md`
  - LTX-2: `references/models/ltx2/prompting.md`
  - LTX-2.3: `references/models/ltx2-3/prompting.md`
  
  ## Workflow Index
  
  - Character sheets for consistent characters: `references/workflows/character-sheets.md`
  
  To add a new model later: create `references/models/<model>/prompting.md`, then add it to this index.
  
  To add a new workflow later: create `references/workflows/<workflow>.md`, then add it to the Workflow Index.
  
  ## Workflow
  
  ### Step 1 — Route the request
  
  Decide whether the user wants:
  
  - a video-generation prompt, or
  - a character-sheet prompt for an image model
  
  Route to the character-sheet workflow when the user wants a reusable reference sheet, turnaround, expression sheet, costume sheet, photographic identity sheet, or a consistent-character starting point for a longer image-to-video project.
  
  If the user is asking for both, do them in this order:
  
  1. Character sheet
  2. Scene still / anchor frame
  3. Video prompt
  
  ### Step 2 — If it is a video prompt, identify the model and input mode
  
  If the user did not name a model, ask which model they are using (or offer supported options from the Model Index).
  
  Then confirm the input mode:
  
  - Text-to-video (t2v), or
  - Image-to-video (i2v)
  
  If i2v: ask the user to share the image (optional, but it will help you generate a better prompt). Use the image as an anchor according to the chosen model’s guidance (e.g., keep identity/wardrobe/composition stable; focus your text on motion/camera/what changes).
  
  If the chosen model has versions, duration constraints, or required parameters, ask the minimum questions needed to select the right format (see the model guide).
  For LTX-2.3 specifically: default to a 10-second clip when duration is missing, ask if the user wants shorter or longer, and scale motion complexity to match that duration.
  
  ### Step 3 — Load the correct reference and follow its format
  
  For video prompts: open the model’s `prompting.md` from the Model Index and follow its rules strictly.
  
  For character sheets: open `references/workflows/character-sheets.md` and follow its structure strictly. Treat this as an image-model prompt, not a video-model prompt.
  
  ### Step 4 — Draft the prompt in the right form
  
  Draft the prompt using the structure and constraints from the markdown file you selected in Step 3.
  
  For video prompts: follow the chosen model’s `prompting.md` exactly, including its preferred section order, dialogue/audio format, and any shot-structure guidance.
  
  For character sheets: follow `references/workflows/character-sheets.md` exactly, including layout, consistency constraints, and expression-row guidance.
  
  ### Step 5 — Output
  
  Default: output only the final prompt text.
  Default formatting: output prompts as a single line with no line breaks unless the user explicitly requests multiline formatting.
  
  If the user asks for options: provide 2–3 distinct prompt variants, each fully self-contained and compliant with the model’s formatting.
  
  If the model uses required API parameters (e.g., duration/size), include a short “Recommended parameters” line only when the user has specified them or explicitly asks for them.
  
  If the user wants the full consistency workflow, after the character-sheet prompt also provide:
  
  - one prompt for a first scene still that uses the character sheet as reference, and
  - one prompt for the follow-on image-to-video shot
