AI Content Brief, Script & Outline Generator — Research Assistant for Video & Image generation

Other

AI content brief, script, and outline generator for video, image, and audio production. Works as an AI research assistant that provides expert guidance on workflow design, model selection, parameter optimization, and visual consistency. Generate briefs, scripts, and production outlines before using ima-image-ai, ima-video-ai, ima-voice-ai, or ima-all-ai. Essential reading for planning workflows, choosing models, optimizing prompts and parameters, maintaining character/style consistency, multi-shot production, and avoiding common mistakes. Transforms beginner attempts into professional-grade results. This is a knowledge skill — it provides strategic guidance, not API calls. Covers: content brief generation, script writing, outline creation, AI research assistance, and production best practices for all media types.

IMA Knowledge AI

Purpose: This skill provides strategic knowledge to help agents make better decisions when using IMA Studio's content creation APIs. It does NOT make API calls directly — instead, it guides you to use ima-voice-ai, ima-image-ai, ima-video-ai more effectively.

When to Use This Skill

Read this skill BEFORE calling any ima-*-ai skill if you need guidance on:

  1. Workflow Design — How to break down complex user requests into atomic tasks
  2. Model Selection — Which model to choose based on task requirements
  3. Parameter Optimization — How to set parameters for quality, cost, or speed

Example scenarios:

  • User: "帮我做个宣传视频" → Read workflow-design.md first
  • User: "用最好的模型生成" → Read model-selection.md to pick the right one
  • User: "生成16:9的图片" → Read parameter-guide.md for aspect ratio support

Knowledge Structure

All knowledge files live under the references/ directory. When reading from other skills, use paths like ima-knowledge-ai/references/workflow-design.md or ~/.openclaw/skills/ima-knowledge-ai/references/<filename>.md.

This skill contains 12 knowledge modules (8 standalone + 4 modular directories):

Important Notes

  1. This skill does NOT replace ima-*-ai skills
    Use it as a consultant before executing tasks

  2. Knowledge is based on production IMA Studio API (2026-02-27)
    Models and parameters may change; always verify with list-models

  3. Cost transparency
    All recommendations include credit cost for user decision-making

  4. No scripts in this skill
    Pure knowledge — implementation is handled by other ima-*-ai skills
