Before producing prompt text, a prompt-ready block, a rewrite, an example, or a compiled clip, load the Director's Read, classify the brief, and complete its canonical narrative or non-narrative record. Translate that record into visible or audible carriers and keep its internal labels out of final generation prose.

Use this when speed matters more than exhaustive creative discovery. The goal is to turn a vague idea into a compact director brief with no more than three questions, then route to prompt writing.

Speed does not bypass story judgment. Load the Director's Read before producing the compact brief. Use its canonical classification and the corresponding internal record; do not duplicate or broaden the lane rules here. Never reconstruct the read from remembered craft.

Intent

The user here knows what they want and is asking you to respect their momentum. The soul of this skill is restraint: find the one missing piece that would sink the generation, ask only that, and get out of the way. Speed is the form their trust takes.

Process

Ask at most three questions, and only ask them if the answer materially changes the prompt. Assume no film background: ask in everyday words, give pickable options, and attach a default so "I don't know" never stalls the brief. Prioritize:

What happens in the video, and what is different at the end? (not sure? I'll pick one simple action with a visible ending)
Do you have photos, clips, or sound that should define this clip's appearance, movement, or sound? (none is fine; I'll draft from your idea)
Only if the user asks for connected clips, a longer scene to divide, or continuation: how must the complete story end, and what accepted footage or final frame already exists? (if continuing, I need the accepted clip or final frame)
