3D cartoon character short

Inputs

• Target duration, aspect ratio, model, and delivery platform.
• Opening frame, ending frame, reference image, source video, or depth/motion guide when available.
• Character, camera, action, continuity, sound, and special-operation requirements.
• Preferred anchor Case from

  references/cases.md

  , or permission to select one.

Required evidence gate

• Read

  references/cases.md

  before drafting on every invocation.
• Select exactly one anchor Case. Name it in the response; do not average several unrelated visual styles.
• Inspect the anchor's finished media with an available image, video, or browser tool. If the media cannot be inspected, say so and do not claim visual fidelity.
• Write a reference contract before the artifact:
  • Preserve: at least three structural traits supported by the Case evidence.
  • Replace: subject, copy, brand, or context supplied by the user.
  • Avoid: unrelated dominant motifs and superficial copying of creator identity.

Workflow

1. Restate the requested deliverable, audience, and success criteria.
2. Read

   references/cases.md

   and select one anchor Case.
3. Inspect its finished media, summary, and prompt excerpt.
4. Produce the Preserve / Replace / Avoid reference contract.
5. Lock the character as a parts list and restate it in every block.
6. Write the style as measurable render settings: fur, depth of field, lighting.
7. One action goal per timeline block, emotion through micro-actions, an exclusion list at the end.
8. Produce the requested artifact using the output contract below.
9. Compare it with the anchor Case, then revise material failures once.

Output contract

• A reference contract naming one anchor Case, with Preserve, Replace, and Avoid decisions.
• A shot-by-shot motion brief.
• A complete video prompt with timing, camera, action, continuity, and audio constraints.
• A reference-assets and special-steps checklist.
• A short verification checklist for motion and continuity.

Verification

• Every shot has a subject, action, camera instruction, and duration or sequence position.
• Reference media and special preprocessing steps are named instead of implied.
• Continuity risks such as identity drift, limb errors, direction changes, and rhythm breaks are testable.
• The response names one anchor Case and confirms that its evidence file was read.
• At least three visible or structural traits in the artifact map back to the Preserve list.
• No unrelated theme becomes dominant unless the user explicitly requested it.
• If finished media was inaccessible, the response labels the result as prompt-grounded rather than visually verified.
• Distinguish observed evidence from your own recommendation.
• Link or name the relevant GoodCase evidence used for the artifact.

Safety and attribution

• Do not invent an original prompt, model, result, creator, metric, or source.
• Do not imply this Skill is authored, endorsed, or officially distributed by a referenced creator.
• Preserve creator attribution when reproducing or discussing a source Case.
• Transfer structure and decision logic; do not impersonate a creator or present a close copy as original work.
• Do not publish, purchase, upload private assets, or make external account changes without explicit user approval.
