# AI Video by Genre — a prompting skill for genre dials
Source: ekly.ai/guides/ai-video-by-genre — free to use with any AI assistant.

## Hard rules (pillar)
1. Genre is the same dials set differently — unset dials become the model's identical default.
2. Hybrids: primary genre owns story shape + dials; secondary genre gets exactly one accent dial.
3. Design the turn — the moment dials change — or the film has no turn.
4. Set and commit dials before writing a single shot.
5. Don't pad genre leaves — each chapter is a dial extract + one judgment paragraph by design.
