zhlmi/script-forging
A checkpointed workflow that turns a finished story into a prompt pack, scene outline, screenplay, optional storyboards and an asset list, stopping for approval at each stage.
Given a short story, outline or role-play log, the agent first recommends a format (feature, short, series or short drama), then writes a prompt pack that fixes what must be kept, what may change and what is forbidden. It moves on to a scene outline and screenplay drafts, each followed by a self-check report, and on request to key-shot, scene-level or shot-by-shot storyboards and a list of characters, scenes, props, motifs and costume states. Every stage loads its own template and stops for confirmation, results are saved as Markdown files, and inputs under about 500 characters or bare concepts are sent back for more material. The instructions are written in Chinese, and a complete worked example project is included.
01skills 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 zhlmi/script-forging02Claude 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.
03Claude 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 zhlmi/script-forging04Codex, 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.
We could not quote an install command from this repo's README. The commands listed here are the generic ones for any skill repository and may not apply, so check the README first.
