Skills that help a coding agent adapt a novel, write episode scripts with cliffhangers and paywall points, storyboard, write Seedance and MiniMax H3 shot prompts, run a whole micro-drama pipeline or cut a recap video. Grouped by approach, with what to check before you install.
56 skills
Short drama skills split by what they hand back. Script-only skills stop at text: Short-Drama Factory takes an idea or web novel to a series outline, episode scripts, paywall points and a continuity ledger, and Short Drama Screenplay Skill adds review and compliance checks plus an overseas English format. Adaptation-to-storyboard skills carry the story further, into character sheets, shot lists and prompts you paste into a video tool; shuohao-skills and Seedance 2.0 Storyboard Generator work this way. Prompt-only skills, such as Seedance 2.0 Skill OS, assume the script already exists and only write the shot prompts.
Pipeline skills treat the drama as one project and keep track of where it stands. Drama Skills keeps five Markdown files per episode, Short Drama Production tracks a production.json from outline to rough cut, Dramake folds generation routing, dubbing, editing and QA into one line, and Short-Drama Director Suite (Manju Laoli) fixes the video model and aspect ratio before it writes anything. Pipelines save the glue work but impose their own file layout, so run one episode through a single pipeline before you mix in skills from other authors.
A separate group exists to drive a product rather than to teach the agent a method. Toonflow Skills come with an open-source canvas app and include an MCP skill for outside agents, ArcReel agent skills operate a self-hosted workbench, and DramaClaw Skill advances a project already loaded into DramaClaw. Pippit CLI skills and LibTV Skill send requests to a vendor's hosted agent. They can cover more of the line, but only together with the app or account behind them, so settle that first.
Before installing, check five things on the skill's page. Target model: prompt syntax is tied to the model. Seedance Prompt Skill writes for Jimeng's @ references and H3 Storyboard is written for MiniMax H3, so match the skill to the model you will actually run. Agent: most are SKILL.md folders for Claude Code and Codex, though some name one, like AI Short Drama Screenwriter, a Codex skill. Language: most are written in Chinese; NolanX film skills is English and Super Director System has Chinese and English main systems. License: MIT and Apache-2.0 are common, but there is also AGPL-3.0, Huobao Drama Skills is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (no commercial use), and some repositories declare none. Paid access: anything that calls a hosted service or a video-model API needs your own account or key, and generation cost depends on that service.
Recap and commentary skills are a different job: they start from finished footage, not a script. Video Recap Skills covers scene analysis, narration, cutting, subtitles and ffmpeg assembly, while Narrator AI CLI Skill and AiToEarn video agent skills hand the narration and voice-over to a hosted service. For cutting and subtitles on your own episodes, see the video editing skills; once a script is ready to become shots, the AI short drama generator is where Pencil0 picks up.

Official Pippit (小云雀) skills that let a coding agent send short-drama jobs to Pippit's hosted agent, and run image, video and canvas commands through pippit-tool-cli.
A short drama skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that teaches a coding agent one repeatable part of making a vertical series, such as adapting a novel, writing episode scripts or laying out shots. Some READMEs give an npx skills add command, others use a git clone and an install script, so follow the repository's own instructions. Some skills ship scripts, so read them before you run anything.
Several do, at different depths. DramaAdapt rewrites a web-novel text file into a serialized comic-drama script in five stages and pauses for your approval after the characters, the outline and a script spot-check. shuohao-skills carries on to character sheets, an art bible and a storyboard. Novel to Manju runs ten steps to a first-person script and video prompts, and Novel-to-Script-Team puts review gates between stages.
Both kinds exist. Script-only skills such as Short-Drama Factory stop at text, and storyboard skills end at shot prompts. Some go on to generate: Drama Director turns a script into a nine-panel page with GPT Image 2 and animates it with Seedance 2.0 using one Atlas Cloud key, and AI Mandrama Skills runs a nine-stage pipeline on the Dreamina CLI and ffmpeg. Cost and account requirements come from the model service a skill calls, so check what each one expects.
A few. Short Drama Screenplay Skill includes an overseas English format, NolanX film skills cover story structure and Fountain screenplays in English, spark-video is an English producer skill that runs from premise to a stitched mp4, and Super Director System has Chinese and English main systems. Most of the rest are written in Chinese, and each skill page lists its content language.
That depends on each repository's license, which every skill page shows. Drama Skills is MIT and shuohao-skills is Apache-2.0. Huobao Drama Skills is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, which limits it to non-commercial use, InkOS script, storyboard and interactive film skills use AGPL-3.0, and several repositories declare no license, so ask the author before using those in paid work. This is a guide, not legal advice; the LICENSE file in the repository is what counts.
