Could you build this?
Partial Serving prompt templates via CLI or MCP to Claude is trivial, but building the proprietary dataset of 3,000+ films analyzed cut-by-cut requires extensive manual curation.
What it would actually take: The software component is a simple CLI or MCP server distributing markdown and JSON prompt recipes. The core hurdle is compiling the proprietary catalog, requiring manual scene-by-scene cinematography analysis, timing breakdowns, and prompt engineering across thousands of individual films.
