- Breaking a short-drama script into video-generation segments

- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
In this spec one storyboard is one segment and one video-generation task. A segment runs 8 to 15 seconds and holds 2 to 4 sub-shots of 2 to 6 seconds each; sub-shots may cut between shot sizes, angles and subjects, but a segment never crosses scenes. The process has four steps: read the storyboard context (script, characters, scenes, props, existing summaries), identify story beats and force a split at beat boundaries while keeping each cause-and-effect chain together, anchor the total length, then split into sub-shots and save everything in one call.
Length is anchored by dividing script characters by 500 per minute and aiming for about one segment per 12 seconds, give or take 20 percent, with transitions at 8 to 10 seconds, narrative segments at 10 to 15 and peak moments at 12 to 15. A hard floor says segment time must cover spoken lines and narration at 4.5 characters per second plus a 2-second margin, and lines that do not fit move to the next segment.
Each segment carries a title, time and light, location, shot size, angle, camera movement, a numbered shot-by-shot description with dialogue inline, result, atmosphere, duration and links to existing scene, character and prop IDs, which must come from the context and never be invented. Prop links supply reference images for consistent appearance. The skill text is in Chinese, with English, Japanese and Korean versions alongside.
When your agent uses it
- Breaking a short-drama script into video-generation segments
- Fitting dialogue into segment durations
- Binding scenes, characters and props to each storyboard segment
- Revising individual storyboard segments after review
Example prompts
- “Split episode three of the script into storyboard segments and save them.”
- “Check that each segment is long enough for its dialogue and move any lines that do not fit.”
- “Bind the right character and prop IDs to the courtyard scene segments.”
Requirements
- Storyboard tools: read_storyboard_context, save_storyboards and update_storyboard
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 调用 read_storyboard_context 读取剧本、角色、场景、道具、已有分镜摘要
- 节拍识别：先识别剧本的叙事节拍——剧本中的【开场】【触发】【高潮】【收尾】等标记，或叙事转折点（地点转移、规则揭示、情绪爆发、反转）。节拍边界强制切段，同一节拍内的子镜头优先归入同一段落，不把一条因果链（铺垫-发生-反应）切散到不同段落
- 总量锚定：目标总时长 = 剧本字数 ÷ 500字/分钟；段落数 ≈ 目标总时长 ÷ 12秒，允许 ±20% 浮动。不要明显超出或不足
- 段落内拆子镜头：按动作切换点、视角切换点、对象切换点切分子镜头，为每个段落补全完整字段后调用 save_storyboards 一次性保存
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26de7df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Storyboard Breakdown Rules loads about 575 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
