Generative Media Prompting

All six media point tasks open with the same four-step shape, visible verbatim in their

@description headers. Writing it down once removes six copies of the same tacit

convention.

The four steps

1. Parse the brief. Extract what the request actually asks for — the creative intent

for a generation task, or the source asset plus the requested operation for an editing

task.

1. Select the model or tool. Choose the model (generation) or tool (editing) that fits

the parsed brief. Each point task names the candidates it selects among; the selection

is part of the task, not a caller input.

1. Construct the prompt. Turn the parsed brief into the prompt (and, where the task

supports them, the structured parameters that accompany it).

1. QA the output against the brief. Validate the result before returning it. Every

point task ends in a validation step, and what it validates is modality-specific.

Per-modality notes

Limited to what the existing files already state:

• image-generation.js — generates variants in parallel; validates technical and

creative quality; organises outputs with metadata.

• image-editing.js — selects among named editing tools; validates edge quality, color

consistency, and artifact absence.

• video-generation.js — the parsed brief includes the request mode (text-to-video,

image-to-video, video-to-video); prompt construction carries camera, lighting, and

composition parameters; a low-quality output is retried with a fallback model.

• video-editing.js — selects among named editing tools and runs a per-operation

pipeline; validates frame consistency and audio sync.

• speech-generation.js — the brief includes language, style, emotion, and SSML;

validates naturalness, pronunciation, and audio specs.

• music-generation.js — the brief includes genre, mood, duration, and instruments;

mastering and stem separation are applied only if requested; validates musical coherence

and technical audio.

Scope

This skill describes prompt construction only. Publication, review, and licensing

decisions are out of scope and belong to

[../../media-production-pipeline.js](../../media-production-pipeline.js). No model lists

or vendor guidance beyond what the point-task files themselves name.
