## What it does

The skill that ships with the Awesome Short Drama Skills list (1K stars, CC0). It loads the list's structured data (type, production stage, target video model, supported agents, install command, license, stars and last push for each hand-checked project) and recommends one pipeline or a few focused skills for the user's stage, model and agent, respecting license constraints for commercial use. The list also publishes blind A/B evals against a no-skill control, which is how the eval-tested short-drama entries in this catalog were chosen.

## Use when

- Choose a short-drama skill for a stage (adaptation, hooks, script, storyboard, prompts)

## Not for
