shotkit

Extract a production-ready brand-lock.md from a brand's existing assets. Point it at a website URL, a brand book PDF, screenshots, or a written description and it produces the nine-section brand-lock the rest of shotkit consumes, with a confidence and source noted for every value. Use when the user wants to onboard a brand, says "build a brand lock", "extract my brand", "make a brand pack from my site", or hands over brand assets. The cold-start killer that turns a blank brand-pack template into a filled, validate-ready file. Pairs with storyboard-architect downstream.

Turn a creative brief into a production-grade storyboard with shot specs, timing, on-screen text, and per-shot rationale. Use when the user describes a video brief, plans a video, references shots or beats, scripts a social video, or hands over a creative concept to break into scenes. Produces storyboard.md, shots.json, text-overlays.json, and brand-lock.snapshot.md. Pairs with visual-prompt-forge, visual-asset-critic, storyboard-html-preview.

Critique a generated image against its source storyboard shot and prompt, producing revision notes. Use when the user has generated an image and wants feedback before committing. Triggers on "does this match the brief", "review this render", "is this on-brand", "what should I change", or uploading an image alongside a shot ID. The QA loop for AI visuals. Works even without a storyboard-architect run. Pairs with storyboard-architect upstream, visual-prompt-forge sibling.

Generate model-specific prompts from shots.json. Outputs copy-paste-ready prompts for stills (Midjourney, Flux, Ideogram, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream) and motion video (Kling, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo). Also runs a revision mode that reads a critique.json and re-emits prompts for only the failed shots, closing the QA loop. Use when the user asks for image or video prompts, mentions any of those generators, wants AI-generated frames for a storyboard, or hands over shots.json. The prompt half of the pipeline. Composes with storyboard-architect upstream, visual-asset-critic downstream.

Render a structured storyboard (storyboard.md, shots.json, text-overlays.json, brand-lock.snapshot.md) into a single-file HTML preview that is shareable, printable, and offline. Use when the user wants to share a storyboard, export for review, hand off to an editor, or print a hard copy. Triggers on "preview the storyboard", "share this", "export to HTML", "print version", or after a storyboard-architect run. Produces one self-contained .html file with no build or server.
