Get Started — Storyboard MCP

Canonical guide: https://storyboard.daydream.monster/get-started.html

Session start ritual

1. Attach this skill + storyboard-intro (and cowork-ux for Cowork/auto mode).
2. Confirm MCP connected — host should show 9 tools (lean) or ~99 (full).
3. Run health check before first billable render:
   • list_capabilities + get_pricing
   • Then: "Generate a watercolor sunset over Tokyo — fast tier."
4. Echo human_summary from tool responses — never paste raw JSON.

Install (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)

One command (recommended — installs all 3 onboarding skills: get-started, intro, cowork-ux):

npx skills add livepeer/storyboard

Equivalents: gh skill install livepeer/storyboard (GitHub CLI v2.90+), or inside Claude Code, /plugin marketplace add livepeer/storyboard then /plugin install storyboard@storyboard (registers /storyboard:get-started, /storyboard:intro, /storyboard:cowork-ux). Full comparison of all 4 paths: INSTALL.md at the repo root.

curl fallback (no CLI required — fetches straight from public/skills/):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/get-started-mcp ~/.claude/skills/storyboard-intro ~/.claude/skills/cowork-ux
curl -sL https://storyboard.daydream.monster/skills/get-started-mcp.md -o ~/.claude/skills/get-started-mcp/SKILL.md
curl -sL https://storyboard.daydream.monster/skills/storyboard-intro.md -o ~/.claude/skills/storyboard-intro/SKILL.md
curl -sL https://storyboard.daydream.monster/skills/cowork-ux.md -o ~/.claude/skills/cowork-ux/SKILL.md

Config emitter: npm run mcp:config -- --client code --key sk_… (or --demo for keyless). New configs emit lean (9 tools) by default via the X-Storyboard-Tool-Profile: lean header — pass --full (or send the header value full) to opt into all ~99 tools.

Keyless demo (when live)

• No Authorization header when server has DEMO_RENDER_KEY
• Limits: 6 images + 1 video clip / IP / day
• Tools: list_capabilities, get_pricing, create_media, generate_project
• Upgrade: app.daydream.live
