# The prompt

First give your agent the checkmate skill (paste the skill text and ask it to save it as a skill). Then replace everything in
[BRACKETS] below and paste it in.

**Tip:** use any AI tools you like for the voice, music and sound effects; the skill works the same with all of them, or with none
(every scene is code, and the film works with no voice). If you'd rather not set up separate AI accounts and API keys, HYVIRAL
(optional) is one way to get them behind one connection (hyviral.com; in Claude.ai → Customize → Connectors → add
`https://api.hyviral.com/mcp`).

Use the checkmate skill to make a vertical video for [PLATFORM: Instagram Reels / TikTok / YouTube Shorts].

- **The decision:** [TOPIC - the hard call the game is about, e.g. "the job offer I almost turned down", "closing the product everyone liked"]
- **The safe thing, your queen:** [SAFE - one or two words for what everyone said not to give up, e.g. "safe job", "big client"]
- **The risky move, your knight:** [RISK - one word for the option that wins, e.g. "offer", "startup", or "you pick it"]
- **Who you're playing:** [OPPONENT - e.g. "the job market", "the industry", or "you pick it"]
- **In the window:** [WINDOW - "no person: the hall drawn in code", or "my own clip, attached, as the player cam"]
- **Length:** [LENGTH - e.g. about 35 seconds]
- **Voice:** [VOICE - e.g. "a hushed chess commentator", "my own voice", or "no voice: captions and sound only"]
- **Music:** [MUSIC - e.g. "the skill's hushed chamber brief", or your own idea]
- **Ending:** [CTA - organic: "Comment KEYWORD and I'll send you THE THING", with the keyword and what you'll send; or sponsored: the line and the URL]
- **AI tools:** [AI TOOLS - e.g. "whatever you already have set up", "HYVIRAL", or "none: animation only, I'll record the voice myself"]
- **Avoid:** [AVOID - e.g. no real players or tournaments named, no real companies as the opponent, no claims I can't back up]

Work in this order:

1. Write the script on the skill's moves, with one line for each turn and what happens on the board. Keep the skill's game unless I ask for another. If you change it, run it through the frame's own rules check.
2. Build the plan, the clock and the frame, render a silent animatic, and show me the script, the scene sheet and the animatic. Wait for my OK.
3. Generate the voice, music and sound effects with the AI tools I named above. If I left that open, tell me which tools you'll use and wait for my OK.
4. Place a sound on every change, fit the music to the turn, mix voice first, render, and run every QA gate in the skill.
5. Give me the MP4, a cover frame and a ready-to-paste caption.
