novel-art为 AI 短剧设计场景和叙事道具母本、光照与状态变体,产出 art.json、Markdown、评审报告和可选设定图。用于美术设定、场景与道具一致性;不代替导演调度或成片人流设计。
Novel Art is an agent skill from suihe1/short-drama-production. 为 AI 短剧设计场景和叙事道具母本、光照与状态变体,产出 art.json、Markdown、评审报告和可选设定图。用于美术设定、场景与道具一致性;不代替导演调度或成片人流设计。
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `README.en.md`, `README.md` and `examples/渡口-art.json`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Creative writing and fiction and Image generation. It works with MiniMax. The repository describes itself as: AI 短剧生产总控 / 短剧skill:专业导演与分镜、MiniMax H3、CompShare、声音资产、粗剪与 QC,默认 16:9。 The licence is Apache-2.0.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbd3310. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteBashTaskGlobFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Novel Art loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Task, GlobAutomated 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

给 AI 短剧出美术设定集:场景 + 叙事道具。生成资产仍需做空间、功能与叙事研究。大纲阶段建立概念版,首批剧本拆解后再锁定所需场景、道具与状态;资产同时服务导演调度和跨镜一致性:
| 交付 | 解决什么 |
|---|---|
| 一致性锚点(每景 3–5 个) | 观众靠它认场景,QC 靠它核对生成镜头有没有漂 |
| 光照时段变体 | AI 换时段是重新生成不是重新打灯,每个状态落成完整提示词 |
| 空景出图提示词 | 无人环境母本便于复用;成片的人流、岗位与人物由导演和分镜另行调度 |
| 变体机制(variantOf) | 生成新景便宜,但变体复用母场景资产更一致 |
| 道具状态变体 | 皮箱的开合、场景的损坏或陈设变化都可能承载剧情,按实际拍摄范围维护状态 |
| 道具尺度参照 | AI 经常把手持道具画成家具尺寸,提示词必须带尺度短语 |
| 道具白底无手 | 道具图要被贴进各种镜头,必须可抠;拿着道具的手是最常见污染 |
{baseDir} = 本文件所在目录。脚本 {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs,零依赖,node 直接跑。
边界(不做的事):不做分镜、不写剧本、不管角色(novel-characters 的活)、不排大纲(novel-outline 的活)。道具只收叙事道具(有特写、跨集、承载剧情的,通常 3–8 件)——场景陈设归场景锚点,一次性手部道具镜头级提示词解决,都不单独建资产。
三种输入,优先级从高到低:
画风:默认 realistic(半写实厚涂),动画质感用 ghibli。跟角色 skill 保持同一档——角色是吉卜力、场景是半写实,合成的时候没法看。跑 node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs styles 看预设全文,整块取用不混搭。
有 cast.json(novel-characters 的产出)也带上——校验「提示词不含角色名」要用。
node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs seed <outline.json> > <workdir>/art.json确定性搬运:场景 id/名称/主场景标记/出现集/承载爽点,带复用方案的场景会有 seedNote 提示做成变体。这些事实不要让模型重新想一遍。
没有 outline.json 就自己按 references/schema.md 建清单。
每个场景一份,能并发就并发。每份任务拿到:
{baseDir}/references/scene-pass.md 和 {baseDir}/references/schema.md(读它们,照着做)styles 命令的输出)核心要求都在 scene-pass.md 里,最重的三条:锚点要可画可认可核对(「补丁船篷」是锚点,「陈旧的氛围」是形容词);光照状态从分集反推,不写用不上的全家桶;能做变体就别开新景。
叙事道具从原文/大纲提取(大纲没有现成道具表,这步是模型的活):只收有特写、跨集出现、承载剧情的,通常 3–8 件,跟主角数量一个量级。每件按 references/prop-pass.md 填:戏剧功能、锚点、状态变体、尺度、白底无手提示词。皮箱这种「跟人走的道具」就该在这——塞进场景锚点和角色画像都不对。
node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs validate <art.json> --cast <cast.json>11 道质量门全是代码。场景 + 共用 7 道:锚点 3–5、光照状态 ≥1、无人、提示词全英文、不含角色名(给了 --cast 才查)、变体引用完整、风格与反向词匹配。道具专属 4 道:状态 ≥1、尺度短语写进提示词、反向词禁手、设定图纯白背景。
有违规逐条修,改完重跑,直到通过。
场景和道具各一张 16:9 设定图,版面都是主视角大图 + 底部和右侧的 L 形细节边框。场景:标准取景 + 第一个光照状态,细节格是锚点特写。道具:白底三四分之一主视角(主状态),细节格是锚点特写 + 其他状态 + 侧面。读 {baseDir}/references/sheet.md 照调用契约做,要点:
-i + stdin)——变体机制的意义就在这cd <输出目录>
node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs render <剧名>-art.json --md > <剧名>-art.md
node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-art.mjs render <剧名>-art.json --html > art-report.html报告界面默认中文;用户要英文界面就加 --lang en(或在 art.json 顶层写 "lang": "en",--lang 优先)。render 自动去 images/<slug>-sheet.png 找图(场景和道具都找),先出图再 render。报告含:KPI 带、场景清单、场景设定卡、道具清单、道具设定卡(锚点核对表 / 状态变体 / 提示词包全带复制按钮)、质量门面板、导出 JSON(下载的就是 art.json 原样)。
汇报一句话说清:几个场景(主场景/变体各几)、几件道具、锚点总数、出图数、报告路径;没过的门和没出的图明说。
最终落地:
<输出目录>/

└── images/
└── <slug>-sheet.png ← 有 codex 才有novel-characters → cast.json (谁:角色资产)
novel-outline → outline.json (什么:结构与分集)
novel-art → art.json (哪里 + 手里拿的:美术资产)seed 吃 outline.json(场景部分;道具表大纲里没有,模型从原文提取),--cast 吃 cast.json。三份 JSON 各自的报告都带导出按钮,改完都能喂回各自的 render/validate。
--lang,默认中文、或跟 art.json 的 lang 字段);出图提示词永远英文$imagegen,不碰要 API key 的 CLI fallbacknode {baseDir}/scripts/selftest.mjs144 项断言,不调模型、不花额度。11 道质量门每一道都有击穿用例。改完脚本先跑这个。
{baseDir}/examples/渡口-art.json:《渡口》三场景 + 两件叙事道具(旧皮箱、县衙旧砚)的完整设定,全部质量门通过(含对着 novel-characters 样例 cast 的角色名检查)。当质量基准,也是自测夹具。
独立使用时,自检后主动打开当前报告并给绝对路径链接,说明本轮范围、检查重点和下一步;需要锁定内容时在对话中收取通过或修改结论。已有确认覆盖当前版本就不重复询问,打开页面或下载 JSON 不算批准。总控已接管时,由总控统一收取这次结论,不另开重复审批。当前内容、依赖或源图改变后,不因旧文件仍存在就跳过复核;输出新版本并保留原审阅笔记。
本项目的阶段职责、变更记录和交付顺序由 short-drama-production 的 references/company-workflow.md 统一维护;未安装总控时按本 skill 的输入和交付范围独立完成,不将总控变成硬依赖。
功能空间先说明必需设备、出入口、可行动区域和运营人流;无人母本保留这些结构与生活痕迹。现有无人质量门检查的是母本素材,不适用于最终画面的人数。场景剧情状态在现有说明/变体字段记录,复杂状态写附属美术说明,不冒充已有结构化状态追踪功能。
涉及尚未授权的创作取舍时,给用户 2–3 个有具体差异的选项,说明收益、损失与推荐,允许保留原稿或自定义。模型先完成阅读、诊断和短样段,不把准备工作推给用户;已经明确授权的范围直接执行。未经用户选择,不把暂定片长预算升级成删词、删情绪段落的理由。

Novel Art fits situations like: tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction; tasks that involve Image generation.
Run `npx skills add suihe1/short-drama-production --skill novel-art -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/novel-art in suihe1/short-drama-production) into .claude/skills/novel-art in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add suihe1/short-drama-production --skill novel-art -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/novel-art in suihe1/short-drama-production) into .agents/skills/novel-art in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add suihe1/short-drama-production --skill novel-art -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/novel-art, .gemini/skills/novel-art, .github/skills/novel-art and .opencode/skills/novel-art in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Novel Art needs JavaScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Bash, Task, Glob.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Novel Art is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.6k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Novel Art: Zy Cinematic Realism (popopo-99/zy-cinematic-realism, 570 stars), Web Novel Cover Generator (zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode, 7.4k stars), AI Image Generation and Editing (zhayujie/CowAgent, 47k stars) and Xhs Visual Director (ziguishian/xhs-visual-director-skill, 1.4k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
