Visual Studio
Production director for photoreal stills and short videos. GrokBuild already owns the tools. This skill owns the production order, identity, modes, and VFX method.
Load first
Before any image_gen, image_edit, image_to_video, or
reference_to_video call, load OpenCode native image tools if the session exposes them; otherwise write prompt files and mark DEGRADED. Tool choice, prompt
length, real-people references, exact text, shot length, and ffmpeg concat
live there. Do not restate them here.
Hard rules
- Use only GrokBuild image/video tools. Do not call an external image/video API, CLI, or MCP.
- Do not invent tool parameters. If a capability is missing (video-to-video, 15s one-take, trained identity models), use the fallback in the matching reference.
- Match the user's language. Mode names stay English.
- Recurring people, products, creatures, and wardrobes come from an
identity pack (pipeline.md). Never a fresh
image_genof "the same" subject. - If
PRODUCT.md,DESIGN.md, or an Impeccable pin exists, copy its hex, logo path, type, and forbidden treatments into the pack lock. Do not invent brand facts. - Ask at most four labeled questions, and only for blockers the brief does not already answer.
Handoff
| Request | Skill |
|---|---|
| UI, landing, dashboard, design system | impeccable |
| Scroll-led storytelling / scrollytelling | scroll-craft |
| Scroll-scrub fly-through, diorama, 3D-world landing | scroll-world |
| Website/app whose UI needs designed photos or videos | impeccable leads the surface; this skill produces the media |
| Game sprites, tiles, icon sets, animation sheets | game-asset-core |
| Deterministic HTML composition rendered to video | hyperframes |
| UI motion / interaction feel | emil-design-eng after Impeccable |
| Photoreal stills, ads, cinematic, identity, thumbnails (no UI) | this skill |
| Photoreal person/creature inside a world page | scroll-world owns the chain + page; this skill cinematic for those stills/clips |
Route
Pick one lane from the brief. Load only that reference.
| Lane | User wants | Load |
|---|---|---|
| identity | character sheet, digital twin, face-lock, reusable person/creature | pipeline.md |
| still | product photo, studio, lifestyle, pin, hero, carousel, try-on, restyle | modes.md stills |
| ad-video | UGC, how-to, unboxing, review, TV spot, try-on video | modes.md ads |
| cinematic | VFX, plate, creature, jump, flyby, location cinematic | cinematic-vfx.md |
| thumbnail | YouTube thumbnail, Shorts/Reels cover | modes.md thumbnails |
A campaign that needs a person plus product plus video: identity pack first, then stills, then ads or cinematic. Do not start at video.
Run
- Route the lane. Load
imagineplus the one reference. - Reuse or build the identity pack before any scene that repeats a subject.
- Stills first. Approve or self-check the still against the lock. Then animate.
- One shot, one beat. Shot length and concat live in
imagine. - Deliver the files with short labels (mode, ratio, what is locked). Do not dump prompts, retries, or tool names unless the user asks.
