What Does It Produce?

Three real outputs, unedited, from stable skills in the library:

YouTube hook — hook-generator — Input: video about why immersion fails for adult language learners

"94% of adult language learners plateau within six months. Not because they quit. Because they're doing the one thing every expert recommends — and it is actively working against how the adult brain acquires language. The science on this is twenty years old. Nobody taught it to you."

Documentary logline — logline-creator — Input: feature doc about forensic archivists recovering destroyed government records

"In a basement lab outside Washington, three archivists race to recover government records that were officially destroyed — before the statute of limitations runs out on the people who ordered the erasure."

Press release opening — press-kit-generator — Input: 6-part nature doc series, three continents, PBS-adjacent tone

"Seven years in production. Forty-two filming locations across three continents. One question that ornithologists have debated for a century: where do they actually go?"

That is the quality level across the library. Production-ready. Usable without editing.

What Is This?

This is a free collection of 394 AI skills — ready-to-use prompts and instructions that turn a capable assistant into a specialist for one specific media production task at a time.

Each skill encodes real production knowledge: the format conventions, the quality bar, the specific inputs a professional would know to provide. The output reads like it came from someone who has worked in the medium — not from a generic chatbot.

394 skills across 21 categories (plus 20 localized ES/FR variants). Every skill is quality-scored on a seven-dimension G-Eval rubric — library mean 4.38/5, with 4.0 the minimum to ship. MIT licensed.

Each skill is a plain markdown prompt file written in model-neutral language ("the assistant," not any one brand), so it works as a copy-paste prompt in Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant — and the files drop straight into coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. → Using the skills with OpenAI
