chengbenchao/short-drama-script
A Chinese-language skill that adapts novels or IP into horizontal or vertical short-drama scripts, with an episode outline, cliffhanger marks and reference data from 22 benchmark scripts.
Given a novel, outline or spoken pitch plus episode count, aspect ratio and genre, it follows an eight-step workflow: extract the story skeleton, map roles into one lead, three supporting and several functional characters, trim and merge plot, mark emotional peaks, plan pacing, design four tiers of cliffhangers, write the episodes and run a scored self-check. The output is a synopsis, character bios, an episode outline table with cliffhanger marks and per-episode text in a standard scene-heading format. Genre guides cover male-oriented power fantasy, female-oriented stories such as rebirth and sweet romance, comedy and horizontal drama. The README positions it for the OpenClaw ecosystem, and the core workflow file defaults to the author's own treasure-hunting drama project unless you name another one.
01From the README
The install command quoted from the repository README.
clawhub install short-drama-script02skills 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 chengbenchao/short-drama-script03Claude 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 chengbenchao/short-drama-script05Codex, 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.
