0xsline/short-drama
A script-only skill for writing a micro-drama series, from topic and character setup through episode scripts, review, compliance checks and an overseas English format.
The /start command asks for a genre (13 templates, up to two combined), audience, tone, ending, episode count and domestic or overseas mode. Commands such as /plan, /characters, /outline, /episode and /review then move through the story outline, cast, episode list, episode scripts and a five-dimension quality score, with progress kept in a .drama-state.json file, and each stage loads matching reference notes on openings, paywall points, pacing, payoffs, villain tiers, hooks and compliance. The /compliance command runs a red-line check, /overseas switches to an English INT./EXT. screenplay format and /export assembles the full script. It stops at scripts, with no storyboards or video generation, and the SKILL.md ships without YAML frontmatter, so some agents need a small edit.
01From the README
The install command quoted from the repository README.
git clone https://github.com/0xsline/short-drama.git ~/.claude/skills/short-drama02skills CLI, for Claude Code, Codex and others
The open skills CLI from Vercel Labs installs a skill from a GitHub repo into the folder each agent expects. It asks which skills and which agents you want, and it installs for the current project unless you add the -g flag, which installs for your user account. Add --list to see what a repo contains before you install anything.
npx skills add 0xsline/short-drama03Claude Code, skills folder
Copy the skill's folder, the one that holds SKILL.md, into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project on your machine, or into .claude/skills/ in a repository to use it there and share it by committing it. Claude Code picks up changes to these folders during a session. If the folder did not exist when the session started, run /reload-skills.
04Claude Code, plugin marketplace
Some repos publish a plugin marketplace, a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. Add it in Claude Code, then install a plugin from it with /plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name. Plugins can bundle hooks and MCP servers along with skills, so read the details panel before you confirm.
/plugin marketplace add 0xsline/short-drama05Codex, skills folder or $skill-installer
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in your working folder and its parent folders up to the repository root, and from $HOME/.agents/skills for every repository. Copy the skill's folder into one of them, or run $skill-installer inside Codex and ask it to install from the repo. Codex detects new skills automatically and needs a restart only if one does not appear.
The first command is quoted from the author's README. The others are the standard ways to install a skill from a GitHub repository. They are templates and may not apply here, for example if the repo has no plugin marketplace, so follow the README first.
