What it does
Acheng Director takes a project from idea to a prompt package for the MiniMax H3 and Seedance video generators. The lead director keeps one source of truth in `production.json` and calls seven modules: story, shots, performance, effects, assets, model and continuity. Each scene carries a two-duration schedule so picture and sound match to a tenth of a second. Performance is described on five tracks: gaze, breath, shoulders, hands and dialogue. Fights and effects get causal movement chains. An index of 132 camera moves is backed by test videos. Python scripts run 89 storyboard quality checks, catch omissions such as "same as above" and compile prompts for the five MiniMax H3 modes.
Who it is for. Makers of short AI films and clips who assemble scenes in MiniMax H3 or Seedance and lose characters and style between shots.
Good fit when
- The hero changes clothes and face from shot to shot and a continuity ledger is needed.
- An interrogation scene needs performance on gaze, breath and hands tracks.
- A fight needs a chain of blows with weight, pauses and momentum transfer.
- Prompts for a 14-second clip must stand alone, with no references to earlier paragraphs.
- Each shot needs a camera move picked from the 132-entry index.
Not a fit when
- The video is assembled in another generator: the prompts target MiniMax H3 and Seedance.
- You need one quick image: the full pipeline with `production.json` is too heavy.
- You plan to use the skill's texts in a commercial product: documents are under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Example request
You are Acheng Director. Prepare a production card and a MiniMax H3 prompt package for a 14-second fight in a rainy alley with a mechanical prosthetic on the hero.Limitations
The documentation is in Chinese, so part of the material reads only in Chinese. Python 3.10 or newer is needed for the check and compile scripts. Code in `scripts/` is Apache-2.0, while texts, modules, examples and prompts are CC BY-NC-ND 4.0: commercial use of the documents themselves is not permitted, but videos made with it stay with the author. The skill prepares prompts and asset cards, and your own service creates the videos and images. Other video models will need prompt edits.
How to disable. Delete the `acheng-director` directory from the agent's skills folder. Your `production.json` project files and output prompts remain.
FAQ
How do I install Acheng Director?
Clone the repository into the skills folder, for example `git clone https://github.com/AharaOoO/acheng-director-skill.git acheng-director`. For Claude Code, Cursor and Codex copy it into the skills directory, and the agent picks it up or calls it by name as `$acheng-director`.
Which video models are supported?
MiniMax H3 in all five modes (T2VA, I2VA, FL2VA, L2VA and Ref2VA) and Seedance with a timeline description. For other generators the prompts must be rewritten.
How do I check storyboard quality?
Run `python scripts/audit_storyboard_quality.py examples/01-mecha.production.json` with your own project file. The script runs 89 checks, and `delivery_integrity.py` looks for omissions such as "same as above" in the output folder.
What is the 2900-word limit?
The upper bound for one prompt: the authors hold that beyond it the model's attention falls apart. The skill keeps each prompt within it and makes it stand alone.
Who owns the videos made with it?
The project author: per the README they keep full rights to scripts, prompts and videos produced with the system. The CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license covers the skill's own documents.

README in short
The project lists five typical AI-video pains: drifting faces, puppet-like acting, fights like slideshows, vague camera moves and shortcuts in long prompts. Each has a dedicated part of the system.
