jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills
Screenwriting and TV-writing skills for Claude Code and Codex, from premise and structure to dialogue and series design, with a workflow skill that keeps a story bible between sessions.
Describe a script project (a feature, series, pilot or novel adaptation) and the agent applies the matching skills: premise and theme, story structure, character conflict, dialogue, scene craft and format, plus series skills for engines, bibles, writers' room practice and sitcoms. A workflow skill sequences the stages and records decisions in a story-bible.md file, so a later session can resume where the last one stopped. Further skills cover American, Japanese, Korean/French and mainland-Chinese practice and the business side, with case studies from published scripts and plays such as Succession, Chekhov and Ozu; four more skills on Chinese opera are not listed here. The skill bodies are written in Chinese, while replies follow the language of your question.
Included skills
01From the README
The install command quoted from the repository README.
/plugin marketplace add jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills
/plugin install screenwriting@screenwriting-skills02skills 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 jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills03Claude 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 jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills05Codex, 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.
