What it does

A single skill with eight modes for serialized AI short dramas, manju and live-action-style vertical series: genre radar and format routing, a greenlight score, series bible and asset registry, shot-by-shot timelines, payoff and reveal ladders, episode scripts, serialization state, production packs, resumable generation and QA with results fed back. Media prompts are delegated to the author's companion ai-media-generator skill, and Python lint scripts validate the studio plan and production pack against JSON schemas. In the Awesome Short Drama Skills tests its character outlines beat the no-skill control in all three runs (its scripts were mixed), and it placed 3rd (Opus judge) and 1st (GPT judge) of 12 entrants for topic selection, judged the most original.

Use when

• Plan a season of a vertical short drama
• Compile an episode into a shot timeline and production pack
• Audit why a short drama is not landing

Not for

• Writing the media prompts themselves (route them to a prompt skill)
