Skills for driving LOTGEN from Claude — build lots, write shots that render what you meant, price before you spend, and take a lot to a client. Published from the LOTGEN codebase.

Overview

The LOTGEN plugin: its MCP connector and the skills for driving LOTGEN from Claude, Codex, Grok or Cursor — building lots, writing shots that render what you meant, fixing a take without re-rendering it, pricing anything before it costs money, and taking a finished lot to a client. LOTGEN generates video on , priced in dollars and seconds rather than credits. These skills are the procedure layer over its MCP server: what to call, in what order, what refuses and why, and which calls spend. One plugin, four clients. Each installs the same skills and connects the same MCP server. Then install LOTGEN from the plugin list and sign in when Codex asks. : install LOTGEN from the Cursor Marketplace. Signing in asks LOTGEN for access to one workspace, and you allow it on a consent screen. The grant is per client, per person, per workspace, and you can revoke it from the MCP page in the app at any time. You will still need to connect the MCP server yourself.

LOTGEN

LOTGEN generates video on your own provider keys, priced in dollars and seconds rather than credits. These skills are the procedure layer over its MCP server: what to call, in what order, what refuses and why, and which calls spend.

Install

One plugin, four clients. Each installs the same skills and connects the same MCP server.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add ascendedent/lotgen-skills
/plugin install lotgen@lotgen

Then run /mcp and sign in.

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add ascendedent/lotgen-skills

Then install LOTGEN from the plugin list and sign in when Codex asks.

Grok Build

grok plugin marketplace add ascendedent/lotgen-skills

Then install LOTGEN from /marketplace.

Cursor: install LOTGEN from the Cursor Marketplace.

Signing in asks LOTGEN for access to one workspace, and you allow it on a consent screen. The grant is per client, per person, per workspace, and you can revoke it from the MCP page in the app at any time.

As plain skill folders, for any agent that reads a SKILL.md:

git clone https://github.com/ascendedent/lotgen-skills
cp -r lotgen-skills/plugins/lotgen/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

You will still need to connect the MCP server yourself. The app’s /mcp page shows the URL and the three steps.

What it connects to

One MCP server, https://mcp.lotgen.ai/mcp, over streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.0. You sign in as yourself; the package holds no credential.
One upload host, https://api.lotgen.ai, only when you ask for files on your machine to be added to a product. The upload_product_assets tool answers a one-time link and a curl line per file, and your agent’s shell posts the file there. Nothing is uploaded unless that line runs.
Model providers, from LOTGEN’s servers, never from your machine. A render sends its prompt and references to the provider whose key you stored in LOTGEN, and is billed to that key.

There are no hooks, no scripts, no commands that run on install and no telemetry in this plugin. What LOTGEN stores and for how long is in its privacy policy; use of the service is under its terms. Support: [email protected].

What is here

Twenty-six skills. Fourteen sequence the MCP server’s 135 tools — between them they name every one. Twelve teach the craft: how to write a shot, light it, move the camera, cast a face that holds, sell a product, write words somebody says out loud, hook a feed, and frame for where it will be watched.

Making something

Skill	For
`lotgen-lot`	The craft. What a lot is, how a format, a vertical, a capture style and a look compose, and how to write a shot that renders what you meant
`lotgen-campaign`	The pipeline. Library → mix → dry run → build → quote, across many SKUs, ending at a number a person decides on
`lotgen-explainer`	Narrated explainers. The planner does not research the topic — this says where your real lines go
`lotgen-faceless`	Faceless episodes: one Short for a brand’s organic series with nobody on camera. Stills the assembly animates, your lines by beat with their sources, and the disclosure to repeat before posting
`lotgen-social`	Photodumps and invented influencers. Identity is a held likeness, not a trained model
`lotgen-runway`	Runway’s seven recipes. Finished pieces from named inputs, on credits that are never refunded

The craft

Skill	For
`lotgen-prompt`	Writing one shot so it renders what you meant — what the model answers to, and what it ignores
`lotgen-models`	Choosing among twelve providers, and what each will silently change about your shot
`lotgen-vocabulary`	What the capture styles, verticals and cinema axes actually mean, and which typo is silent
`lotgen-continuity`	The levers that make a lot read as one film: chains, and keyframed shots that open and end on stills and render all at once
`lotgen-troubleshoot`	It came back wrong: every silent failure, cheapest check first

Writing the shot

Skill	For
`lotgen-hook`	The first second. What has to be legible in frame one, and why the hook shot is worth rendering three times
`lotgen-light`	Describing light so a model renders it — direction, quality, and the practical as the most reliable instruction
`lotgen-motion`	Camera and subject movement, why a move needs a reason, and why a slow push has no room in four seconds
`lotgen-casting`	Describing a person so they stay the same person. Anchors, wardrobe, and why hair is the most volatile attribute
`lotgen-product`	Material, reflection and scale — a model renders plastic unless you say otherwise
`lotgen-script`	Words per second as the real unit, so a script is a duration before it is a sentence
`lotgen-platform`	Framing for the aspect at plan time, because a 9:16 crop keeps under a third of the frame

Getting it right

Skill	For
`lotgen-refs`	References, opening frames, reference packs, location maps that hold a room, and the look that ties a lot together
`lotgen-map`	Maps: one still holding a room or a product as numbered views, so every shot names the view it is and the room or the item stays the same thing. The product map is drawn from the product’s own photos
`lotgen-voice`	Voices, narration, lipsync and an explainer’s audio. Two of these passes are free
`lotgen-post`	Fixing a take without re-rendering it: restyle, erase, clean plate, upscale, reframe
`lotgen-cost`	What anything costs before it costs it, what a provider will silently change, and drafting at 480p to upscale only the take you keep

Living with it

Skill	For
`lotgen-assets`	Products, brand kits, and Google Drive in both directions
`lotgen-workspace`	Lots and shots: reading before writing, reordering, archiving rather than deleting
`lotgen-review`	The delivery. Render, mount, share a review link, read the standing, act on a change request, export

Two things worth knowing before you start

Creating a lot never renders and never spends. Planning, creating, attaching references and pricing are all free. Money moves only in the tools that send work to a model provider: rendering a shot or a lot, a quick shot, voicing, drafting lines, and the paid post passes such as upscale and restyle, including the one upscale a shot set to upscale_to runs on the take it keeps. Each of those is marked destructive in its MCP annotations, so your client asks before it runs one. estimate_render prices a shot without touching a provider.

No credential is shipped in this repository. The MCP config here names the server and nothing else; you authenticate as yourself. Anything that handed you a token would be handing you somebody else’s workspace.

Where these come from

They are written and tested inside the LOTGEN codebase, where every tool name in every skill is held against the live MCP catalogue on each run — a skill that names a tool which does not exist is worse than no skill, because the agent reading it goes hunting, fails, and improvises. This repository is published from there and is not edited directly; issues and corrections are welcome at [email protected].
