CineFlo

budget-review

Read, explain and update a film's budget and cost report in CineFlo. Use this whenever the user asks what they've spent, what's over or under, what's committed, what's left, for hot costs, a cost report or a variance, or wants to add budget lines, purchase orders or actual costs, even if they only ask 'are we on budget'.

build-shot-list

Plan coverage and build shot lists in CineFlo. Use this whenever the user wants shots, coverage, setups, angles or a shot list for a scene, a sequence or the whole film, asks how to shoot or cover a scene, or wants to add, rework or extend shots, even if they don't say 'shot list' or name CineFlo. Asks about coverage style and camera package first when they're unknown.

cineflo-production

Use the CineFlo MCP connection to inspect and manage film production projects, scenes and shots, script breakdowns, schedules, call sheets, cast and crew, locations, files, moodboards, tasks, diagrams, and budgets. Use when the user asks to work in CineFlo.

connect-cineflo

Get someone set up with CineFlo when its tools aren't available yet. Use this whenever a CineFlo skill applies but no CineFlo tools (list_projects and the rest) can be called, when the user asks what CineFlo is, how to connect it, or whether they need an account or a subscription, or says they don't have CineFlo yet. Explains it briefly, says how to connect, and still helps with the task in the chat.

crew-and-cast-setup

Set up and maintain the cast and crew lists in CineFlo. Use this whenever the user wants to add or change cast or crew, number the cast, list crew by department, set default call or pickup times, or fix cast numbers so the breakdown, stripboard and call sheets agree, even if they just paste a list of names and jobs.

location-scouting

Log location scouts and manage filming locations in CineFlo, and link scenes to them. Use this whenever the user describes a place they visited or are considering, shares recce or tech scout notes, compares location options, asks where a scene will shoot, or wants scenes tied to places, even if they don't say 'scout' or 'location'.

lookbook

Build a mood board or lookbook in CineFlo for the film, a location or a character. Use this whenever the user talks about the look, tone, colour palette, lighting or camera style of the film, shares visual references, or wants a lookbook, mood board or pitch visuals, even if they only describe how they want it to feel.

plan-shoot-days

Build or rework the shooting schedule on CineFlo's stripboard. Use this whenever the user wants to schedule scenes, plan or balance shoot days, find what isn't scheduled, fit the film into a number of days, group scenes by location or cast, or move scenes between days, even if they just ask 'how many days do we need' or 'what should we shoot first'.

prep-call-sheet

Draft or update a call sheet in CineFlo. Use this whenever the user mentions a call sheet, tomorrow's or a day's call times, who is called when, cast pickups, the day's locations or hospital, or wants to get a shoot day ready for cast and crew, even if they just say 'prep Tuesday'. Drafts only; sending happens in CineFlo.

prep-checklist

Turn the breakdown and schedule into department to-do lists in CineFlo, with owners and due dates. Use this whenever the user wants a prep checklist, task list, pre-production plan or department assignments, asks what each department needs before the shoot, or wants the to-do board set up or brought up to date with the schedule.

script-breakdown

Break down a screenplay into production elements in CineFlo: cast, extras, props, set dressing, wardrobe, makeup, vehicles, animals, stunts, effects and the rest. Use this whenever the user asks to break down, tag or mark up the script or some scenes, asks what a scene needs, or wants the elements list a schedule, budget or call sheet will depend on, even without the word 'breakdown'.

script-revision

Update a CineFlo project after a new script draft or revised pages. Use this whenever the user mentions a new draft, a rewrite, revised or coloured pages (blue, pink, yellow), asks what changed in the script, or wants the breakdown, shot lists or schedule brought in line with the latest draft, even if they only say 'the writer sent new pages'.
