| description | Write and revise model-specific prompts for Renku generation workflows. Use when Codex needs prompts for Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, LTX, image generation/editing, reference workflows, start/end-frame clips, multi-shot clips, native audio video, TTS narration, or one-time video inputs after the workflow and producer contract are known. |
Renku Write Prompts
Write prompts for the selected producer contract and model workflow. Do not write generic cinematic fluff before identifying the workflow.
Prompt Workflow
- Confirm the active producer contract and model from
renku-pick-workflow or the blueprint/input file.
- Load the matching model prompt reference if available.
- Identify the workflow mode: text-to-video, image-to-video, start/end, reference-to-video, multi-shot, image edit/compose, TTS, native audio, or talking head.
- Write prompts that describe the controllable dimensions the producer actually exposes.
- Keep recurring anchors stable across segments.
- Keep spoken text within duration limits; use separate high-fidelity TTS when native dialogue quality is not the main fit.
- Use
renku-author-director when the prompts are generated by a director prompt producer rather than written directly into inputs.
Prompt Quality Rules
- State visible action, camera behavior, temporal progression, and sound when relevant.
- For image-to-video, let the image carry identity/layout; prompt motion and camera evolution.
- For start/end-frame clips, describe the transition from A to B, not two unrelated images.
- For reference workflows, assign each reference a role only if the producer exposes that reference.
- For multi-shot prompts, label shots explicitly and keep each shot to one primary action.
- For visual prompts, avoid text, labels, titles, logos, and watermarks unless explicitly desired.

Maintenance
Use renku-update-prompt-guides when adding or refreshing model prompt guide references. Do not load source-map or template maintenance docs during normal prompt-writing unless the task is to update the guide library.
