What it does
The skill walks a script through the entire pre-production path. It freezes the source, analyzes the plot, turns psychological description into visible imagery and splits material into atomic shots with one space, shot size, action and camera move. It then tracks blocking, continuity, sound and timing, and compiles one-shot-one-task generation tasks with acceptance criteria and a fallback path. By default the skill adds nothing to the plot without permission: it only splits, visualizes and makes minimal additions. For each shot you can choose live shooting, generation or a mixed method. The project includes Markdown and CSV templates, JSON schemas, a structure check and Node.js regression tests, a production cost estimate and a repair plan built from a quality report.
Who it is for. Screenwriters and short-video creators preparing material for live shooting or Seedance generation.
Good fit when
- A script must be split into shots that can be filmed and cut.
- A finished storyboard with axis and continuity errors goes for repair.
- For Seedance generation each shot becomes a separate task with acceptance criteria.
- Before shooting, production cost and the price of reshoots are estimated.
Not a fit when
- The plot must be rewritten or new scenes invented.
- A finished video is wanted rather than preparatory materials.
- Node.js 18 or newer is missing for running checks.
Example request
Use `$script-to-shootable-storyboard` to turn this script into atomic shots and output Seedance generation tasks with a quality report.Limitations
The skill was built in Codex and works best there; other agents connect it manually as a folder with `SKILL.md`. Documentation is in Chinese. The README install command is for PowerShell, so on macOS and Linux you substitute the skills directory path yourself. The skill prepares storyboards and tasks, while video generation in Seedance or filming happens separately. Cost and failure estimates rely on project data the user enters. The last commit dates from July 2026.
How to disable. Delete the skill folder from `~/.codex/skills`. Tables and reports already created stay in your project.
FAQ
Does the skill change the plot?
No. By default it splits, visualizes and makes minimal additions; plot changes need explicit permission.
Which templates are included?
Markdown and CSV storyboard templates, a repair template for existing storyboards, a generation task template and a quality report template.
How do I check the output?
With `node scripts/validate-all.mjs --input <project.json> --pretty --require-validators`. The skill's own structure is checked by `node scripts/check-skill-structure.mjs`.
Are npm dependencies needed?
No. The project scripts use only built-in Node.js modules.
Is it suitable for live shooting?
Yes. Each shot gets a production method: shooting, generation or a mixed option with handoff rules.
