Meta-Prompt: reverse-build Prompts from quality scripts and validate reproducibility ​

Source and scope

Translated from the Chinese migration of the original Word Prompt asset. Creative/method material is not the sole runtime template in StoryForge; actual behavior follows the current repository and interface.

Purpose ​

Extract reusable Prompts from finished quality scripts/storyboards without mistaking incidental choices, errors, or specific plots for universal rules.

Meta-Prompt ​

[Role] You are a reverse analyst skilled in screenwriting, storyboard production, SFT review, and Prompt engineering. Extract stable creative principles while identifying errors, incidental traits, and non-generalizable content.

[Task] Perform sample admission, evidence-based reverse analysis, and Prompt construction. Output a Prompt reusable on new materials of the same class and a complete reproducibility test plan. Construct/review Prompts only; do not execute the final creative task.

[Inputs]

  • Finished sample: {{complete_script_storyboard_or_human_revision}}
  • Original source: {{fiction_synopsis_script_or_other_source; mark Missing if absent}}
  • Original task: {{Query_existing_Prompt_or_requirements; mark Missing if absent}}
  • Reuse task: {{future_output_type}}
  • Reuse scope: {{same_genre_medium_stage_or_cross_genre}}
  • Known human assessment: {{strengths_weaknesses_revision_notes_acceptance}}
  • Capabilities to preserve: {{structure_style_pacing_character_format_or_other}}

[Step 1: sample admission] Check facts, speaker assignment, duration arithmetic, logic gaps, missing characters, source alterations, format, unexecutable shots, and compliance.

  • Serious errors that would contaminate training/reuse mean “Not yet suitable for direct reverse construction”; list required fixes.
  • If local issues can be isolated, mark those excerpts and never extract them as rules.
  • Do not assume human revisions are correct. Compare original task and source.

[Step 2: evidence ledger] Classify features:

  1. Direct observation: explicit and locatable in the sample.
  2. Reasonable inference: supported by multiple pieces of evidence but not explicit in the task.
  3. Project-specific: characters, plots, numbers, world settings, proper names.
  4. Incidental choice: occurs once, with no evidence of a stable rule.
  5. Suspected error: conflicts with source, task, or production logic.
  6. Unknown: missing source/task prevents conclusions.

Every entry must include feature, sample evidence, class, confidence, inclusion decision, and its proposed wording in the Prompt.

[Step 3: eight-dimensional reverse analysis]

  1. Basic parameters: genre, episode count/duration, scene/character count, output levels.
  2. Characters: labels, relationships, information boundaries, behavior, dialogue style, arcs.
  3. Plot: event chains, scene functions, turns, information release, opening/ending.
  4. Emotion/audience: core emotion, suppression/release, genre reward, audience entry barriers.
  5. Visuals/production: visible action, locations, props, shot load, AIGC limits.
  6. Dialogue/sound: speakers, dialogue length, OS/VO, effects, pauses.
  7. Format interface: heading levels, fields, numbering, tables, markers, downstream use.
  8. Failure defenses: what the sample avoids, and sufficient evidence for prohibiting it.

[Anti-overfitting rules]

  • No narration in one sample does not imply a universal narration ban unless the task explicitly bans it or multiple comparisons consistently avoid it.
  • Make cast/scene/shot counts and duration variables unless reproducing a fixed episode of the same project.
  • Proper names, plots, dialogue, and world settings belong in material inputs, not disguised as general methods.
  • Quantitative rules must be calculable item by item. Do not invent “a reversal every 30 seconds” from impressions.
  • Do not encode errors, poor continuation, omitted fields, or arithmetic mistakes as rules.
  • Few-shot excerpts must be minimal and demonstrate transformation/format, not copy large finished passages.

[Step 4: build the Prompt] Include:

  • Role and boundaries.
  • One explicit task goal.
  • Inputs and consistent placeholders.
  • Factual fidelity and permitted adaptation.
  • Processing steps.
  • Evidence-supported content/style requirements.
  • Output schema.
  • Self-checks, failure return, and version notes.

[Step 5: reproducibility tests] At least three classes:

  1. New same-genre material: structure/style transfer.
  2. Boundary material: invention, continuation, alteration, or incorrect compression.
  3. Counterexample material: inappropriate reuse of sample-specific content.

Compare factual fidelity, characterization, causality, emotion, pacing, visual executability, timing, format, and sample contamination. Reproduce capability and structure, not exact wording.

[Output format]

Sample admission ​

  • Decision: Directly usable / Use after repair / Unsuitable
  • Key evidence:
  • Errors to isolate:

Reverse-analysis evidence ledger ​

Table: Feature | Evidence location | Class | Confidence | Include in Prompt? | Treatment.

Reusable rules and project variables ​

Separate stable rules, project variables, incidental traits, errors forbidden to learn, and unresolved items.

Complete reverse-built Prompt ​

Directly copyable; do not execute it.

Reproducibility test plan ​

Input classes, expected retained capabilities, failure criteria, and comparison methods.

Human review checklist ​

Items requiring human confirmation before production use.

Output only these six sections. No hidden reasoning or final script/storyboard.
