Introduction

The DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin ecosystem allows developers to encapsulate domain-specific methodologies as reusable skills. In the video generation domain, prompt standardization directly affects the consistency and quality of the final output. dsh-skill-hell-grind-video-prompt is designed to address this issue. It packages 29 imperative rules from the “Hell Grind” production methodology into the DSH Cordis plugin base and provides a structured prompt generation workflow.

Core Features

This plugin provides the following core capabilities:

  1. Load on trigger: The model automatically loads the skill when the user asks to generate or optimize AI video prompts, write shot lists, or design character performances. Users can also explicitly specify the skill.
  2. 29 imperative rules: The rules cover four stages:
    - Assets and consistency (rules 1–8)
    - Scenes and spatial relationships (rules 9–12)
    - Character performance design (rules 13–20)
    - Video generation / shot-level prompts (rules 21–29)
  3. Key examples retained: Built-in examples include GEO SPATIAL LAYOUT, VIKTOR performance profile, Roco physical actions, corridor scene timeline, 30-meter stone guard scale anchor, and style presets.

Installation and Enabling

Add this bundle to the DSH configuration file. This plugin depends on services included with DSH: @deepseek-ai/dsh-skill (skill registration service) and @deepseek-ai/cordis (plugin base). No additional installation is required.

The configuration is as follows:

{
  "bundles": [
    "dsh-skill-hell-grind-video-prompt"
  ]
}

Typical Usage

The skill name is hell-grind-video-prompt, and it supports both model invocation (modelInvocable) and user invocation (userInvocable).

  • Model invocation: The model automatically loads this skill when the user makes any of the following requests:
  • Generate or optimize an AI video prompt
  • Write a shot list
  • Design character performances
  • Convert a story into video generation prompts

  • Mention video models such as Seedance, Sora, Kling, or Runway

  • User invocation: The user can directly issue an instruction in the conversation:

  • “Use the hell-grind-video-prompt skill”

Dependencies and Cautions

Specific configuration details depend on the DSH version in use. This plugin runs with the permissions of the current DSH process. Review the source code and license before installing it.
