What it does

Plot Keypoints is an agent skill from VanGong1999/screen-creative-skills. Organize story main line, extract and arrange major plot points by development stage. Suitable for quickly grasping story structure, creating outlines, and script adaptation structure organization

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md` and `references/guide.md`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code 1.0+

It sits in Writing & Content. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Film and Television Creation Agents|31 个影视创作评估策划Agent Skills|AI影视自动化工作流|竖屏短剧长剧IP改编|情节题材提炼|剧本小说IP创作策划评估|人物小传|拉片人物剧集故事五元素分析|大纲生成|. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing & Content work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/plot-keypoints”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code 1.0+
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Reading Comprehension: Fully read and understand story text, grasp overall structure and theme.
  2. 脉络 Organization: Organize story accurate and complete脉络, identify key turning points.
  3. Plot Point Extraction: According to plot point definitions, accurately summarize major plot points, ensuring completeness and accuracy.
  4. Stage Division: Divide and arrange by story development stage (such as three-act structure).
  5. Structured Output: Output according to specified format, ensuring clarity and readability.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ced54f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Claude Code 1.0+

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Plot Keypoints loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.
