What is this?
A collection of agent skills for producing AI short dramas from a novel: it breaks the novel into characters, builds an adaptation outline, generates art/prop bibles, writes the screenplay, and cuts the storyboard. It runs inside Claude Code or codex as a coding agent.

You can also symlink skills manually if you prefer.

For the five pipeline skills you just use your existing model session quota, no separate API key needed.

The author notes the code makes no OS-specific calls so Linux should theoretically work fine, but it is unverified; Windows isn't mentioned at all.
