DEDUPEDWho it is forA director or art lead who has reference images for a film's look and needs them written down as a specification.
The problemImages picked for mood with no notes become unusable when the look has to be reproduced weeks later.
The outcomeA visual bible with a caption on every reference, a ban list of anti-references, and a written decision on each board.
What you need first
- An agent harness that loads skills: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or OpenCode
- Access to the image model and video model you plan to use, named during /setup
- A script, treatment, or one-paragraph idea for the film
- Reference images for characters and locations, if you have them
Steps
- Collect the existing reference images you want to use, since the skill asks you to find the image before describing it.
- Run
/reference-boardand supply one board at a time. - Answer the caption prompts so each image names exactly what is taken from it.
- Record a decision of approved, revise, or rejected on every board before calling anything locked.
Prompt for your agent
Using the film-studio-skills repo, run /reference-board on the reference images in <folder>. Expected output: a visual bible with captioned references, a ban list, and a written decision per board. Verify that no board is treated as locked without an approved decision.
Caveat. The skill only organizes references you supply, so the quality of the visual bible depends on the images you bring to it.
