wanshuiyin/ARIS-Movie-Director
An agent workflow that turns a fuzzy story into a cross-model-reviewed, image-based movie with a viewer page, using locked assets and a storyboard continuity ledger; video is listed as a later step.
movie-pipeline chains comic-author and comic-director: you approve the intent and the outline, then the skills lock a style bible, a storyboard with a per-panel motif-state table, reference assets and content-SVG blueprints, and compile them into a comic.json source file. Each panel is generated through Codex's image tool, then Codex and Gemini reviewers read it blind and a script compares the text visible in the image with what the source expects before the panel is kept or retried, ending in a single-file HTML viewer. There is no installer: you clone the repo and point a coding agent at it, with the codex CLI, a Google-family reviewer (the legacy Gemini CLI or Antigravity through a bundled shim), headless Chrome and Python available. The output so far is still images, not video.
Included skills
01From the README
The install command quoted from the repository README.
git clone https://github.com/wanshuiyin/ARIS-Movie-Director.git && cd ARIS-Movie-Director
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt02skills 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 wanshuiyin/ARIS-Movie-Director03Claude 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 wanshuiyin/ARIS-Movie-Director05Codex, 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.

HBAI-Ltd/Toonflow-app
Skills that come with the open-source Toonflow canvas app: a production workflow with Seedance 2.0/2.5 prompt rules, a canvas manual, a text-storyboard skill and an MCP skill for outside agents.
jd-opensource/JoyAI-Echo
Four skills from JD's JoyAI-Echo project: a director workflow, a story writer and a tail-frame prompt rewriter for multi-shot Echo 1.5 video, and a six-field prompt writer for Echo-WM.
lixiaoxiao9888-create/manju-laoli-skill
A Chinese-language director suite for AI short dramas that locks the video model and aspect ratio first, then runs gated scripting, asset locking, shot design and prompts with a built-in checker.
s1dashu/director
A top-level director skill that routes a video idea into one of three modes, then builds character and voice references, writes shot prompts and generates Seedance 2.0 clips.
OSideMedia/higgsfield-ai-prompt-skill
A Claude skill library for Higgsfield video prompts: a dispatcher plus about 35 sub-skills on camera, Seedance, Cinema Studio, acting, story bibles, shotlists and troubleshooting.
This is a third-party skill. It is not maintained or audited by Pencil0, and skills can run scripts on your machine, so read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing. Stars, license and dates are a GitHub snapshot and may be out of date.
