What is this?
ai-short-drama-screenwriter is an agent skill for ChatGPT desktop Codex, Codex CLI, and IDE extensions that handles topic selection, structure, characters, scenes, dialogue, conflict, twists, and revisions for short/vertical dramas written in Traditional Chinese.
Is this a standalone app or a skill I add to Codex?
It's a standalone skill (a SKILL.md folder) that plugs into Codex, not a separate application.
Do I need anything installed before this works?
You need Git installed and a Codex environment that supports standalone skills: ChatGPT desktop Codex, Codex CLI, or the IDE extension.
Does it also generate storyboards or video prompts?
No. When only a script is requested, it will not output shot-by-shot storyboards, shot types, camera movement, or AI video-model parameters; that's explicitly out of scope.
What does the 8-stage screenwriting process cover?
It walks through creative brief, genre positioning, overall and episode structure, character relationships, scene breakdown, dialogue, conflict/emotion/twist/hook design, and finally a draft plus revision pass.
Can it write in languages other than Traditional Chinese?
Traditional Chinese is the default output, but another language can be specified directly in the prompt.
Has this skill actually been tested?
The README reports RED baseline tests showing format gaps without the skill, GREEN behavior tests passing across four scenarios, and A-F trigger-boundary micro-tests all scoring 5/5, plus validation against the official skill structure.
What happens if I ask for a script and a storyboard together?
The skill finishes the screenplay first, then hands off to another storyboard or video-prompt skill already installed in the environment, since it doesn't produce those itself.
