What it does

Script Compose is an agent skill from Utopai-Research/pai-code. Handles explicit screenplay/story work on the filmmaking canvas. Triages screenplay (use verbatim), story/concept (iterate then rewrite), or neither (defer). Captures the final script note/title; on explicit command, splits into <=15s shot notes and extracts characters, variants, locations, and speaking/VO needs. Use for writing, adapting, rewriting, splitting, analyzing, or breaking down scripts/stories. Preserves dialogue verbatim and returns multi-stage planning to story-to-video-workflow before media…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: Local AI filmmaking studio — skills, canvas, timeline — driven from your coding agent.

When your agent uses it

  • Breaking down scripts/stories
  • Tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction

Example prompts

  • “Use the script-compose skill to handle explicit screenplay/story work on the filmmaking canvas”
  • “/script-compose”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Triage → Capture
  2. Capture — canvas note + title
  3. Analyze — on explicit user command
  4. Revisions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 825bca2. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Script Compose loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 881 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 881 words (~2,070 tokens).

“Run only on explicit user intent, never on file drop. Dropped text/PDF already exists as a note (data.body) and mirror (./assets/notes/.md).”
