Example prompt
Use the news-director skill to make a 40-second vertical news short from this year's annual report of [an energy or health agency], with its sources on screen.
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 40-second 9:16 news short from [the report or dataset, with its link]: read the primary source, the biggest true number on the first frame, every number with a source tag in the same shot, the source's key sentence shown and highlighted, one turn the sources give, licence-checked footage credited in the shot, and the sources on the last frame for [who will watch, e.g. people following the story]. Use only the facts and quotes in the sources I give below; don't change a word or number. End on the sources, held for 3 seconds.
Nothing to install: paste this into Claude Motion (Team or Enterprise) or give it to Opus 5.5 for a similar look. The result changes from run to run; the skill works from your own material and renders on your computer.
