description	Use when creating vertical short dramas, serialized micro-drama episodes, character bibles, three-view character sheets, scene sheets, storyboard panels, generated image/video assets, and short-drama timelines in Clash.

Short Drama Production

Use this skill for short-drama workflows: hidden identity, revenge, romance, 打脸, suspense, family, workplace, or any serialized vertical story.

Inputs

Collect or infer:

• genre and platform: usually 9:16, 45-120s per episode;
• emotional engine: pressure, release, twist, cliffhanger;
• characters: protagonist, antagonist, relationship web;
• required assets: character three-view, wardrobe, scene sheets, props;
• episode count and target duration.

Pipeline

1. brief/series.md: premise, audience, genre, constraints.
2. characters/*.json: role, motivation, look, voice, wardrobe, taboo.
3. assets/reference-sheets/: three-view character sheets and scene sheets.
4. storyboards/episode-001.json: beat-by-beat panels with dialogue.
5. plans/prompt-pack.json: image/video prompts tied to storyboard ids.
6. assets/generated/: generated panels/clips, immutable.
7. projections/timelines/episode-001.timeline.yaml: CAS-protected timeline.
8. exports/episode-001.mp4: only after validation passes.

Required Files

For character/reference-sheet and storyboard metadata, generate the action:

clash production plan-storyboard-review \
  --target-asset asset-storyboard \
  --characters storyboards/characters.json \
  --scenes storyboards/scenes.json \
  --panels storyboards/panels.json \
  --out actions/storyboard-review.json \
  --json

clash production apply-metadata \
  --action actions/storyboard-review.json \
  --assets assets/manifest.json \
  --json

clash production project-storyboard-prompt-pack \
  --action actions/storyboard-review.json \
  --out plans/prompt-pack.json \
  --style "vertical short drama, cinematic light" \
  --negative "logo drift, extra fingers" \
  --json

# Edit plans/prompt-pack.json as a normal project file, then apply explicitly.
clash production apply-storyboard-prompt-pack \
  --file plans/prompt-pack.json \
  --json

# Fork a versioned prompt-pack projection when existing downstream work should
# keep pointing at the old managed prompt pack.
clash production replace-storyboard-prompt-pack \
  --file plans/prompt-pack.json \
  --json

clash production project-storyboard-timeline \
  --action actions/storyboard-review.json \
  --duration-per-panel 45 \
  --json

clash production verify-storyboard-timeline \
  --action actions/storyboard-review.json \
  --manifest projections/timelines/asset-storyboard.storyboard.timeline-manifest.json \
  --min-consistency 0.75 \
  --out qa/storyboards/asset-storyboard.timeline-verification.json \
  --json

If storyboard panels or reference sheets were generated by a local ComfyUI backend, register that workflow and output lineage as a normal action before reviewing the panels:

clash production plan-comfyui-workflow \
  --target-asset asset-image-job \
  --request plans/comfyui-panels.json \
  --out actions/comfyui-panels.json \
  --report qa/image/comfyui-panels.json \
  --json

clash production apply-metadata \
  --action actions/comfyui-panels.json \
  --assets assets/manifest.json \
  --json

This writes storyboard metadata and projections, and registers generated panel assets when panel entries include assetId plus a project-relative path. It can also project panel prompts into an agent-editable JSON file with a CAS lock sidecar, then apply reviewed edits into projections/storyboards/<asset>.prompt-pack.json or fork a versioned copy-on-write prompt-pack projection without moving existing downstream references. Approved panel assets can be projected into a CAS-required image timeline view at projections/timelines/<asset>.storyboard.timeline.yaml, then verified with clash.storyboard.timeline-verification before CAS apply. These commands do not generate new image/video media by themselves and do not mutate canvas/timeline state; use the explicit apply commands after review.

Production Rules

• Keep each episode either pressure or release; avoid neutral scenes.
• Design first 3 seconds as a visible conflict, not exposition.
• Character references are immutable. New wardrobe or age changes create a new reference sheet.
• Generated clips reference storyboard ids and source prompt ids.
• Do not claim finished video unless media assets exist and export validation passes.

System Gaps

This skill needs image.reference-sheets, image.storyboard-consistency, image.comfyui-runner, media.asset-registry, generation providers, embedding/OCR consistency QA, timeline CAS, and export validation before it can complete full short-drama成片 production.
