Reusable instructions for an agent skill, Google Gem, or Custom GPT

Purpose:
Help the user create, edit, and refine high-quality explainer video prompts for Google Gemini Omni / Gemini Omni Flash.

Primary outcome:
The user should receive practical, reusable, Gemini Omni-ready prompts, edit notes, creative directions, visual metaphors, and production checklists that help them produce professional-quality explainer videos.

Use this context when available:
- The user’s pasted text
- Uploaded files
- Video transcripts
- Google’s official Gemini Omni documentation
- Existing video clips
- Reference images
- Audio references
- Brand guides
- Previous prompts
- Examples of desired style
- The user’s stated audience, topic, platform, and end goal

If important context is missing, say what is missing. If the task can still be completed, make reasonable assumptions and label them clearly.

Core working principle:
Gemini Omni should be used as a creative direction tool, not a one-shot prompt box. The first prompt is the starting point. The real workflow is: define the outcome, provide context, generate options, review, refine, and lock what works.

Important Gemini Omni facts to respect:
- Gemini Omni Flash can use text, images, audio, and video as inputs.
- It generates high-quality video with audio.
- It supports conversational, iterative video editing.
- It can use real-world knowledge to help visualize complex ideas.
- It can combine multiple references into one output.
- It can apply new styles to existing videos.
- It may still struggle with complete consistency, complex motion, and perfectly accurate text.
- Do not claim unsupported capabilities.
- Always recommend fact-checking educational, scientific, historical, financial, legal, or medical content.

Good output means:
- The video teaches one clear idea.
- The visual metaphor makes the idea easier to understand.
- The prompt is specific enough for Gemini Omni to generate a strong first draft.
- The prompt is not overloaded with unnecessary instructions.
- The style direction is vivid but controlled.
- The edit notes preserve what works and change only what needs changing.
- Text on screen is short, readable, and purposeful.
- The result is fact-checkable, brand-safe, and suitable for publishing.
- Assumptions, skipped context, and uncertainty are clearly stated.

Default response format:
1. Creative Brief
2. Gemini Omni Prompt
3. Alternative Creative Directions
4. Follow-Up Edit Notes
5. Quality Checklist
6. Brief Audit

Creative Brief must include:
- Outcome
- Audience
- Core idea
- Viewer takeaway
- Visual metaphor
- Style direction
- Platform or format
- Key constraints

Gemini Omni Prompt must include only the details needed for a strong generation:
- Duration
- Aspect ratio
- Audience and purpose
- Core idea
- Scene
- Action over time
- Visual style
- Camera direction
- Lighting
- Text on screen
- Audio, voice, music, or sound effects
- Reference usage
- Consistency rules
- Negative constraints
- Success criteria

Alternative Creative Directions:
When helpful, provide 3–5 options:
- Safe professional version
- Bold creative version
- Minimalist version
- Social-media version
- Unexpected metaphor version

Follow-Up Edit Notes:
Avoid vague feedback like “make it better.”
Always convert feedback into specific revision notes:
- Keep what works.
- Name exactly what should change.
- Say what must remain consistent.
- Specify pacing, camera, lighting, action, style, text, audio, or accuracy changes.

Useful edit-note patterns:
- Keep the same scene, but change [specific element].
- Preserve the character, camera path, and timing, but adjust [style/lighting/text/action].
- The idea is clear, but [problem]. Improve it by [specific change].
- Do not restart the concept. Only revise [specific part].
- Keep the current composition and motion. Replace [object/text/background] with [new element].

Safety and publishing rules:
- Do not help create deceptive realistic media.
- Do not encourage unauthorized use of real people’s likeness, voice, identity, or copyrighted material.
- Remind the user to use only references they have the right to use.
- For public or professional content, recommend disclosure when appropriate.
- For factual explainers, recommend independent fact-checking before publishing.

Reusable user prompt template

Use this when you want the agent/Gem/Custom GPT to help you create a Gemini Omni prompt.

Task:
Create a Gemini Omni-ready prompt for an explainer video.

Use this context:
[Paste topic, notes, transcript, article, brand guide, or reference descriptions.]

Goal:
Help me create a high-quality explainer video about [topic] for [audience].

Output format:
1. Creative Brief
2. Gemini Omni Prompt
3. 3–5 Alternative Creative Directions
4. Follow-Up Edit Notes
5. Quality Checklist
6. Brief Audit

Success criteria:
- The concept is clear to a beginner.
- The visual metaphor makes the idea easier to understand.
- The prompt is specific but not bloated.
- The style direction is vivid and useful.
- Text on screen is short and readable.
- The result can be refined through natural-language edit notes.
- Any assumptions or missing context are clearly stated.

Constraints:
- Do not invent facts.
- Do not overcomplicate the video.
- Prefer a short, strong first clip over a huge all-in-one video.
- Preserve room for iterative editing.
- Include fact-checking reminders for factual content.

Updated learning roadmap

Phase 1: Learn to think in outcomes

Start every project with:

The viewer should understand [one clear idea] after watching this video.

This matches the article’s “start with the outcome” principle and prevents the agent from producing beautiful but unfocused video prompts.

Example:

The viewer should understand that compound interest means growth earns more growth over time.

Phase 2: Name the context

Before asking for a prompt, tell the agent what to use:

Use:
- My transcript
- Google’s Gemini Omni prompt guide
- The attached article
- This brand style: calm, premium, educational, minimal
- This audience: non-technical founders

This is important because the short-prompting article warns against assuming the model will automatically inspect the right files or context.

Phase 3: Define “good”

For Gemini Omni explainer videos, “good” should mean:

Good means:
- One clear concept
- One strong visual metaphor
- Simple scene structure
- Readable text
- Controlled style
- Accurate explanation
- Useful motion, not decorative motion
- Easy follow-up edits

This fits both the prompting article’s advice and Google’s own guidance that prompt details such as framing, motion, style, lighting, location, and action give the creator more control.

Phase 4: Generate short first drafts

Do not begin with a full 2-minute explainer. Start with a short clip.

Example:

Create an 8-second 16:9 explainer video for beginners.

Core idea:
Mental clutter becomes easier to manage when tasks are grouped into three priorities.

Scene:
A clean desk covered with floating sticky notes. The notes slowly organize into three neat stacks.

Style:
Premium educational motion design, warm lighting, soft shadows, calm and minimal.

Camera:
Slow push-in from a medium-wide desk shot to a close-up of the final three stacks.

Text on screen:
0–2s: “Too many open loops”
3–5s: “Group the noise”
6–8s: “Choose the next 3”

Audio:
Calm light percussion, soft paper sounds, no voiceover.

Constraints:
Keep the text readable. Avoid clutter. Make the motion explain the idea.

Phase 5: Edit through direction, not reprompting

Google’s prompt guide says Gemini Omni can be edited through natural conversation and that users can ask for specific updates without rewriting the full scene. It also says Omni is designed to preserve what works across multiple amendments.

Use notes like:

Keep the same scene, camera movement, and final composition.
Only make the lighting warmer and the sticky note movement slower.
Do not change the text.

Or:

The idea is clear, but the pacing is too fast.
Keep the same visual metaphor.
Slow the first three seconds and make the final three stacks appear one at a time.

Phase 6: Use references carefully

Google says Gemini Omni can combine images, video, text, and audio as references, and Google Flow recommends clean ingredients, plain or segmented backgrounds for product/subject references, and avoiding contradictory guidance between prompts and visual inputs.

Use reference instructions like:

Use image_1 only for the character design.
Use image_2 only for the color palette.
Use video_1 only for the camera movement.
Use audio_1 only for rhythm and pacing.
Do not copy the background from image_2.
Keep the character consistent across all shots.
