What it does
The repository is a curated list of skills for AI vertical short drama, micro drama and manju (AI comic drama). It also ships its own artifact: the short-drama-skill-finder skill. The skill reads the structured list from shortdramaskills.com and, if the site is down, takes the same entries from the README on GitHub. It first works out what you need: the stage (novel adaptation, episode outlines and hooks, scripts, script review, storyboards, video prompts, production), the video model (Seedance, Kling, MiniMax, Wan, Veo, Sora, ComfyUI) and your agent. It then drops archived projects, and full apps unless you want an app, and names three to five skills. For each pick it gives the reason, the install command, supported agents, license and last update date. The list itself holds 83 skills and 16 open-source platforms as of 26 October 2026. It includes side-by-side tests of script skills and topic-picking skills that the author ran on one task with two AI judges.
Who it is for. For AI drama writers and producers working in Claude Code, Codex or OpenClaw who do not want to sift through dozens of skills for Seedance, Kling and other video models.
Good fit when
- You have a novel and need a skill that adapts it into a script and a Seedance storyboard
- You need a skill for episode grids, hooks and paywall points and there are too many options
- The agent should show which skills were tested on scripts and link to the results
- You are starting an AI series and want a set of skills for each stage
Not a fit when
- You need the script or storyboard itself: the skill only recommends other skills and writes no text
- You make ordinary video without drama, such as ads or reviews
- You want skills for a Russian-speaking audience: the list is built around the Chinese short drama industry
Example request
I write a short drama from a novel in Codex and shoot it in Seedance. Which skills should I install for adaptation, script and storyboard?Limitations
- The skill fetches the list from shortdramaskills.com or GitHub. Offline it has nothing to recommend.
- The author warns that the hand-checked mark means a review of the description, repo layout and category. It does not confirm output quality.
- Script skill tests used a single model, claude-opus-5-5, and the two AI judges often disagreed.
- Recommended skills may ship scripts, so read their SKILL.md before installing.
How to disable. Delete the short-drama-skill-finder folder from your agent's skills directory, for example ~/.claude/skills/. Skills it recommended and you installed are removed separately.
FAQ
How do I install Awesome Short Drama Skills in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add UnderleveledBuilder/awesome-short-drama-skills`. It installs the short-drama-skill-finder skill, and the agent then picks skills for your request.
Does the list work in Codex and OpenClaw?
Yes. Standard SKILL.md skills work in agents that support skills. For OpenClaw there is `npx skills add author/repo -a openclaw`.
Which script skills did best in the tests?
In the 18 October 2026 round both AI judges ranked drama-skills, shanyin-screenwriting-master, screenwriting-skills and emma-screenwriting-skills above the control group in all three runs. The author calls it a first round limited to one model.
Does the skill install the recommended skills by itself?
No. It shows the install command and waits for the user's approval before running anything.
Where does the skill get its data?
From data.json on shortdramaskills.com. If the site does not respond, the skill reads the repository README on GitHub: the entries are the same, without the structured fields.

README in short
The README opens with the results of two test rounds, one for script skills and one for topic-picking skills. It continues with suggested skill combinations for four tasks, a catalog by type and stage, a section by video model and an FAQ with install steps for Chinese agents. A build.py script generates the file from repository data.
