What this repo does not do:
- Does not rewrite, expand, or "re-create" Mx-Shell's original prompts
- Does not strip his name or impersonate him
What this repo does do:
- Distills methodology.md — the systematic 5-stage structure from his livestream + documents
- Consolidates faq.md — his 17 troubleshooting items plus scattered Q&A
- Converts the docx/doc files into structured markdown
(
原始提示词/) - Extracts the model templates — IP-stripped reusable bones
- Provides a Claude Code Skill so Claude can produce prompts following his methodology
Every 原始提示词/ file marks its source document and date.
From the March 15 document (item 17):
"This Kamen Rider thing was just a whim. I didn't expect this much attention. Thanks everyone for liking it. If you joined the fan group just to grab the prompts and then leave — fine, I don't mind.
I'm sharing my prompts with you. Use my templates as a starting point. Let your imagination run.
Several people in my group have already written excellent prompts from these templates. Feel free to swap learnings."
From the May 12 livestream:
"You can learn this, you can take it and do whatever — I don't care.
I source from atom-punk. The image I used is the one you see. Anyone claiming I scraped from a game — go check, I never wrote any IP names in my prompts."
"I hope this lets the Chinese AI scene draw some inspiration from what I shared today. Not saying I'm a benchmark — just hoping it helps someone."

| Purpose | Tool |
|---|---|
| Video generation | Xiaoyunque / Seedance 2.0 (avoid Fast variant) |
| Image generation | GPT Image (80%) + Midjourney + Krea |
| Texture refinement | Flux Max |

Mx-Shell's original prompts contain some IP names:
- 仮面ライダー BLACK SUN (Kamen Rider BLACK SUN)
- Gundam
- Pacific Rim
- Ready Player One
- Metal Gear Solid
- Kai'Sa (League of Legends)
- Iron Man
- Michael Jackson (referenced for dance style)
These IP rights belong to their respective owners. This repo retains the original prompts as faithful records of the source material. When using them:
- Seedance 2.0 is known to filter IP names — direct use often gets blocked
- Commercial use requires clearing rights with each IP holder
- Personal learning / non-commercial use is lower risk but still advisable to substitute with style descriptions
The 模板/ directory contains IP-stripped generalized versions.
