What is video-prompt-director?

Video Prompt Director is a skill for the Codex platform that turns a short idea, product brief, source link, or research topic into a structured, source grounded prompt ready for video generation. Instead of drafting a video script by hand, a user describes what they want, and the skill organizes it into a complete, scene by scene prompt that a video generation tool can act on directly. The skill defaults to a 30 second video format and builds its output through several stages. It begins by extracting key facts from any materials the user provides. If given a link or asked to do research, it prioritizes official documentation, English-language sources, GitHub repositories, papers, reputable news, and other primary sources over less reliable material. It then maps those facts into the specific elements a video needs: on-screen text, camera movements, motion effects, narration lines, style requirements, and negative constraints that tell the video generator what to avoid. When source material is unclear on a point, the skill labels that part as a creative assumption rather than presenting it as fact. The final deliverable is a copy-ready prompt that can be passed directly to a video generation tool such as HyperFrames. It is suited for product demos, tool introductions, teaching shorts, social media videos, historical explainers, market analysis videos, and source-based scripts. To use it, a user copies the skill folder into their Codex skills directory and invokes it by typing the skill name followed by a video idea. The project includes configuration in YAML format along with reference documents covering prompt patterns and source extraction methods, and provides both Chinese and English documentation.
