Short-drama skills that beat a no-skill control in blind tests: script, assets, storyboard, keyframe and video prompts.

What it does

Twelve skills that carry a Chinese short drama or AI manju (comic drama) from an idea or a novel to the edit: development and adaptation, novel analysis, episode writing, character and location assets, image prompts, a storyboard with frozen keyframe prompts and continuity checks (axis, blocking, eyelines, props), video prompts, review, edit planning and production through provider adapters. In the Awesome Short Drama Skills blind test (2026-10-18, Opus and GPT judges, three runs each), its scripts and character outlines beat the no-skill control every time; judges noted short lines, distinct voices and emotion carried by objects, with episode-end hooks on the restrained side. The writing skills produce Markdown and call no provider; the produce skill can call MiniMax, OpenAI, Volcengine Ark or Qwen with your keys.
