What it does

Compile, review, revise, or reverse-reconstruct reference-based video briefs and media in any language as production-ready MiniMax H3 Ref2VA prompts. Use when attached or named images, videos, or audio define subjects, concrete frame anchors, motion, style, editing sources, continuation, voice, or soundtrack relationships, including requests to recreate an observed result as the canonical six-section subject_definitions format. Do not use for text-only T2VA briefs with no reference asset.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

8Compile multilingual briefs or observed media into the canonical MiniMax H3 full-reference structure without changing the user's creative intent, inventing references, or claiming to recover unavailable generation data.

10## Workflow
11
121. Classify the request as forward compilation, review, revision, or reverse reconstruction. Confirm that at least one real or named reference image, video, or audio will remain attached to the H3 run.
132. Read [references/format-spec.md](references/format-spec.md) completely before drafting, revising, or reviewing. For a revision, also read [references/revision-compiler.md](references/revision-compiler.md). For reverse reconstruction, also read [references/reverse-reconstruction.md](references/reverse-reconstruction.md) before inspecting media.
143. Check the platform envelope before writing. Do not compile an impossible request and hope prose will repair it.
154. Build an internal director blueprint with the constraint ledger, Reference Responsibility Matrix, beat/state ledger, and audio routing table described below. Do not expose these working tables unless the user asks.
165. Compile the blueprint into the six sections in the exact order from the format specification. Preserve the user's literals and hard creative choices; add only low-risk execution detail.
176. Run the deterministic validator when local execution is available, then perform the semantic preflight. Repair errors; review warnings rather than mechanically suppressing them.

19## Platform Envelope
20
21- Target duration is an integer from 4 through 15 seconds. If omitted, use 10 seconds as this skill's convenience assumption and disclose that assumption outside the prompt; it is not an official H3 default.
22- The prompt is at most 7,000 Unicode characters. Compress by priority and recompile if needed; never truncate by characters or lines.
23- A Ref2VA request supports at most 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio files, and 12 mixed reference files. Each reference video or audio file is 2-15 seconds; total reference-video duration and total reference-audio duration are each at most 15 seconds. The API request body is at most 64 MB.
24- If aspect ratio is omitted, keep the Ref2VA run adaptive. Lock a fixed ratio only when the user or delivery platform explicitly requires it. Do not infer a fixed ratio merely from one reference's composition.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈140

The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.

Ten skills this size would take about 85% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

17.1k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

9 files, 96.3 kB on disk. Mostly text — the instructions the model reads — with 2 scripts in it that your client would run only if the instructions tell it to.

  • SKILL.md10.7 kB
  • README.md10.9 kB
  • agents/openai.yaml0.3 kB

  • tests/test_validator.py6.1 kB
What is not in it

A skill installs nothing and depends on nothing: it is a folder your client reads. This one carries 2 scripts beside the text, so the bundle is 9 files you can review in full before installing.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# MiniMax H3 Reference Prompt · 17.1k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/minimax-h3-reference-prompt" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt ] || { mv .claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/minimax-h3-reference-prompt" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt"

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/minimax-h3-reference-prompt" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/minimax-h3-reference-prompt" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/minimax-h3-reference-prompt/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
