This prompt instructs an AI video generator to create a short, photorealistic vertical CCTV-style clip of a suburban front yard viewed from a fixed camera above a front door, with bright natural sunlight and subtle grain. A specified subject approaches along the pathway, stops beneath the camera, looks up, smiles, and says “Hello,” while realistic ambient outdoor sounds and a voice matched to the subject’s characteristics complete the scene.

## What it does
This prompt instructs an AI video generator to create a short, photorealistic vertical CCTV-style clip of a suburban front yard viewed from a fixed camera above a front door, with bright natural sunlight and subtle grain. A specified subject approaches along the pathway, stops beneath the camera, looks up, smiles, and says “Hello,” while realistic ambient outdoor sounds and a voice matched to the subject’s characteristics complete the scene.

## Inputs
### textInputs
Pass each text input using `--input <key>=<value>` flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| `subject` | Optional | Describe who or what is approaching the camera — include appearance, clothing, or type of animal if applicable. | `An American young woman` |
### Models and options
This skill's modality is: **`video`**.
To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:
```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"video"`.
## How to run
### Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "video"` to discover valid models and available options:
```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
- `subject` (default: `An American young woman`)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model **`sora-2`** and its available options. Look up `sora-2` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"video"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}`.
- If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `sora-2`, options `{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.
### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `cctv-door-cam`).
Command form:
```bash
betterprompt generate cctv-door-cam \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
```
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate `--input <key>=<value>` flag.
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`sora-2`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
```bash
betterprompt generate cctv-door-cam \
--input 'subject=An American young woman' \
--model sora-2 \
--options '{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}'
```
