Task Packs

Marketing Foundation

Compact two-skill starter: clarify positioning and choose a lead magnet. Use Marketing Launch for the broader eight-skill go-to-market workflow.

Marketing Launch

Build an evidence-led marketing plan from ICP and competition through positioning, campaigns, growth and measurement.

Agent Audit Essentials

Diagnose architecture and context, plan agent-team responsibilities, then organize project context and session handoffs. Memory and cost-runtime reviews remain outside this pack.

Conversion and Activation Review

Review the journey from landing page and lead capture through registration, first value and transparent upgrades.

Campaign Content and Brand Review

Plan a campaign, draft its channel content and review the work against actual brand guidance.

Content and Launch Planning

Prioritize an editorial roadmap and plan how to launch and distribute it across suitable channels.

Customer, Market and Community Research

Understand customer needs, compare competitors and plan a community around real member value.

Lead Magnet to Lifecycle Nurture

Choose a relevant lead magnet, then draft a permission-based nurture journey with entry, suppression and exit rules.

API Contract and Observability

Define the API contract, then plan how to observe its latency, failures and retries. Guidance and checklist; no production changes.

Data Analysis Foundation

Profile a dataset, choose and interpret statistical methods, then validate calculations and conclusions before sharing.

description: "Translate genre, tone, cinematic references, lens language, lighting, framing, blocking, texture, realism, and audience experience into reusable creative direction for scripts, shot lists, and prompts."

# style-cinematography-director

## When to use
- The user asks for cinematic style, genre look, camera language, lensing, lighting, blocking, realism, texture, visual tone, or art-direction guidance.
- The user has a story but needs a visual language before shot lists or prompts.
- The user wants style consistency across scenes or model outputs.

## When not to use
- The user only wants model-specific parameter conversion.
- The user needs screenplay dialogue rather than visual direction.
- The user asks for a single still prompt and already has full visual specs.

## Required inputs
- Story/scene/concept
- Genre/tone/audience experience
- Desired realism level
- References if any

## Optional inputs
- Runtime
- Target platform/aspect ratio
- Color palette
- Continuity bible
- Model/tool constraints

## Workflow
1. Translate abstract tone into visible choices: contrast, palette, lens distance, camera stability, light source, texture, blocking, and production design.
2. Select a genre grammar but avoid copying a specific protected work.
3. Define lens and framing rules that express emotional distance and power dynamics.
4. Define lighting rules with direction, quality, source, color temperature, and shadow behavior.
5. Define texture and realism rules: skin, fabric, weather, grain, imperfections, and artifact guardrails.
6. Create a compact style bible and shot-level style tags for downstream prompts.
7. Flag style choices that conflict with target model limits.

## Decision logic
- If the user gives only mood words, convert them into concrete camera/light/color decisions.
- If multiple references conflict, choose a dominant anchor and one accent.
- If photorealism matters, prioritize physical light, lens behavior, and micro-texture over quality adjectives.
- If the result is for video, include motion and blocking rules.

## Output formats
- Visual direction brief
- Genre/tone translation
- Cinematography rules
- Lighting palette
- Texture/realism rules
- Prompt-ready style block

## Quality checks
- Every style claim maps to a visible or audible execution detail.
- Camera, lighting, color, and production design reinforce the same emotional goal.
- References are used as inspiration, not reproduction.
- Style rules are concise enough for repeated prompting.
- Conflicts with model behavior are noted.

## Anti-patterns
- Generic cinematic adjectives without technical choices
- Overloading prompts with many film references
- One-note palettes that flatten emotional range
- Style rules that fight the story purpose
- Copying a living artist or exact protected image when a descriptive alternative works.

## Exit criteria
- A reusable style/cinematography brief is ready for story, shot list, bible, image prompt, video prompt, or model adaptation.

## Supporting files
Read only the supporting file needed for the active task:
- `references/cinematic_language.md`
- `references/camera_lens_movement.md`
- `references/lighting_and_photorealism.md`
- `references/genre_style_tone.md`
- `templates/visual_style_bible.md`

When to use

Translate tone and genre into reusable camera, lighting and visual-style rules.

What you get

The complete original workflow, with source attribution and the limitations below.

How it works

Confirm the task, check actual dependencies, then apply the relevant original instructions within authorized scope.

Requirements

Story or scene, desired tone/realism, references and output constraints.

Delivery and review notes

Published after an obvious-danger screen under the user-requested policy, not a functional test. Supporting files required conditionally by the original are not supplied: references/cinematic_language.md, references/camera_lens_movement.md, references/lighting_and_photorealism.md, references/genre_style_tone.md, templates/visual_style_bible.md. Related model-adaptation/continuity handoffs must be available for the actual task; loading this source does not load them. No media generation, model-capability verification or code execution was performed. Treat named-model parameters as unknown until checked and use authorized references/assets.

Starting prompt

Use Cinematography Direction for [TASK]. Ask for missing inputs: Story or scene, desired tone/realism, references and output constraints. Check the declared dependencies and limitations before execution. Return the original output structure with known facts, assumptions and unresolved requirements separated.

Not for

Claiming that unavailable source dependencies are bundled or that generated outputs, integrations or model behavior have been tested. Actual media generation without a separately available authorized tool.

What M11 added

M11 added German routing, task inputs and explicit source-package limitations; the original author remains separate from M11 curation. Published after an obvious-danger screen under the user-requested policy, not a functional test. Supporting files required conditionally by the original are not supplied: references/cinematic_language.md, references/camera_lens_movement.md, references/lighting_and_photorealism.md, references/genre_style_tone.md, templates/visual_style_bible.md. Related model-adaptation/continuity handoffs must be available for the actual task; loading this source does not load them. No media generation, model-capability verification or code execution was performed. Treat named-model parameters as unknown until checked and use authorized references/assets.
