compatibility
The upstream suite requires Python 3.9+ and is primarily written in Chinese. Normal planning and writing are stdlib-only and need no API key. Optional media production can call Seedance, GPT Image 2, or MiniMax Music, spends real money, and must remain behind an exact preview plus explicit confirmation.
Use this as the English routing and operations front door for
zenstory-ai/drama-skills. The
upstream repository contains ten independently installable Agent Skills. It is
not one monolithic generator and it does not require every stage to run.
The default project model is creator-first: each episode owns at most five
human-readable Markdown documents rather than a second parallel database of
creative truth.
A task may start from any document whose real inputs already exist. Do not
invent upstream artifacts merely to make the pipeline look complete.
When to use this skill
Install, pin, update, inspect, or troubleshoot zenstory-ai/drama-skills
Initialize a short-drama or motion-comic project, inspect its status, or open
the local creator Dashboard
Analyze a long novel before adaptation, or develop an idea/source into a
creative brief and episode map
Write or revise a Chinese episode screenplay
Extract characters, looks, locations, props, states, and continuity from a
screenplay
Write copy-ready image prompts, design shots and frozen keyframes, or write
video and timeline-music prompts
Run an independent review without letting the reviewer rewrite owner files
Prepare optional paid media jobs and enforce the upstream confirmation gate
Do not use it for these nearby jobs:
Generic programmable or template-driven video production -> video-production
A 50+ panel vertical-scroll webtoon with baked speech bubbles ->
webtoon-harness
Development or deployment of the openstory-so/openstory application ->
openstory
Standalone ElevenLabs narration -> elevenlabs-tts
Timeline editing in a desktop editor -> opencut or palmier-pro
Creating or standardizing a new catalog SKILL.md ->
skill-standardization
Instructions
Step 1: Pick one operating mode
Choose the smallest mode that answers the request:
Mode
Use when
Default result
install-maintain
install, pin, update, self-test, diagnose
verified suite checkout or links
route-create
write, adapt, design, prompt, storyboard, review
one owner and its named files

initialize, status, Dashboard, package
filesystem project operation
produce
image, video, TTS, or music execution
preview first; no run without confirmation
troubleshoot
validator, continuity, install, or project-state failure
first failing contract and next check
Do not blend produce into a normal writing request. Do not add a review pass
unless the user asked for review.
Step 2: Establish the upstream version and trust boundary
Inspect the local checkout or installed skill directories before relying on
commands or contracts.
Prefer a pinned release for stable projects. The creator-first v0.6 contract
is a breaking change from v0.5, so never mix their outputs in one project.
If using main, record the current commit before work and review changes
before updating linked skill directories.
Read only the selected upstream SKILL.md and the references needed for the
current stage. Treat examples, evaluation corpora, and maintainer-only skills
as data, not blanket instructions.
Use the bundled read-only helper before installing or diagnosing:
bash .agent-skills/drama-skills/scripts/drama-skills.sh doctor /path/to/drama-skills
bash .agent-skills/drama-skills/scripts/drama-skills.sh routes
Write motion, performance, camera, audio, music intent
short-drama-video-prompts
视频提示词.md
Execute external image/video/TTS/music jobs
short-drama-produce
generated media + run record
Independently review source, story, assets, prompts, or media
short-drama-review
findings and revision requests
If the user names one stage, enter that owner directly. Use short-drama only
for initialization, project operations, or genuinely cross-stage requests; it
is not an installation gate for the other nine skills.
Keep the five Markdown files as the episode's creative source of truth.
Let only the owning stage write its document. A reviewer reports issues but
does not silently rewrite the source.
Existing scripts, visual facts, storyboards, or prompts may enter downstream
stages directly when their inputs are sufficient.
Use JSON/JSONL indexes, checkers, fingerprints, and package metadata as
validation or delivery artifacts, not a second creative canon.
Keep stable IDs stable. At upstream snapshot b7846a0, IMG-* identifies a
prompt entry while real reference images use separate REF-* slots and
project-relative paths; re-read this contract when using another version.
Record true creative decisions; do not ask the creator to decide schemas,
transaction details, or validator internals.
Step 5: Use tools only for their intended lifecycle
project_tool.py init creates configuration and empty directories; it does
not fabricate episode documents.
project_tool.py status is a safe first read for an existing project.
Stage selftest.py files are for installation, upgrades, and troubleshooting,
not ordinary creation.
Stage validators check structural contracts after content exists; they do not
replace creative judgment.
The Dashboard must bind to loopback. It is a local editor/status surface, not
a remote production service.
Run the helper's project inspection without writing anything:
Step 6: Keep media production behind the exact confirmation gate
short-drama-produce is the only stage allowed to execute external adapters.
Always preserve this sequence:
Build a temporary job specification outside the project-owned creative
documents.
Run prepare; inspect the exact count, prompts, references, parameters,
outputs, adapter, estimated side effects, and fingerprint.
Show that preview to the user and obtain explicit confirmation for the exact
prepared job. Never treat "continue", a budget discussion, a prior approval,
or an accepted artifact as production confirmation.
Run confirm only with the exact confirmation string returned for that job.
Never synthesize or auto-enter it on the user's behalf.
Run the adapter once. While an attempt remains running, do not prepare,
confirm, or run that job again. Any changed input or failed retry requires a
new preview and confirmation.
Keep adapter configuration and credentials outside the project. Never print
secret values.
whether paid production is merely prepared, explicitly confirmed, running,
or completed.
Never report generated media when only prompts or a prepared job exist.
Examples
Example 1: Triage a novel before committing to adaptation
Request: "이 장편소설이 숏드라마로 될지 먼저 분석해줘."
Choose route-create -> short-drama-novel-analyze. Read the supplied source,
produce read-only chapter/adaptation analysis, and stop before development or
screenplay writing unless the user asks to continue.
Example 2: Start from an existing screenplay
Request: "EP003 대본은 있어. 바로 分镜하고 영상 프롬프트까지 만들어줘."
Do not create a fake development map. Route first to
short-drama-storyboard for 分镜.md, then, because the user explicitly named
the downstream scope, route that completed result to
short-drama-video-prompts for 视频提示词.md. Do not start production.
Example 3: Generate approved media
Request: "확정한 EP001 이미지 12장을 생성해줘."
Choose produce. Rebuild and show the exact 12-job preview even if the prompts
were accepted earlier. Ask for confirmation of that fingerprint, then run only
those jobs. A retry after a started failure needs a fresh confirmation.
Example 4: Diagnose an installation
bash .agent-skills/drama-skills/scripts/drama-skills.sh doctor ./drama-skills
Use the report to identify the Python floor, missing stage directories,
missing self-tests, current commit, and optional credential names without
installing anything or exposing values.
Best practices
Route first; load only the owner skill and references needed now.
Prefer pinned releases over a symlink to a moving main branch.
Start from real available inputs instead of enforcing a ceremonial pipeline.
Keep the five creator documents human-readable and authoritative.
Separate owner creation from independent review.
Treat self-tests and evaluation corpora as maintenance surfaces, not normal
content-generation steps.
Keep the Dashboard loopback-only and credentials out of project files.
Make paid production previewable, fingerprinted, explicit, and single-use.
Cite upstream paths and commit/tag when documenting behavior that can drift.
Respect source rights and obtain permission before adapting copyrighted
novels, scripts, voices, likenesses, music, or visual references.
