screenwriting

screenwriting is a skill for Claude Code from e06084/claude-screenwriting. It costs 105 tokens per session (1,247 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A screenwriting workspace for turning raw story material into linked notes about the premise, characters, beats, themes, and scenes. It uses frameworks associated with Vogler, McKee, and Save the Cat to guide story development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize and manage a story knowledge base, import material, create characters and 15-beat outlines, refactor or reimagine the structure, run diagnostics, and export planning documents.
Why use it?
It gives scattered ideas a repeatable workflow from early story design through drafting and revision. The structured notes make relationships between characters, story moments, and themes easier to inspect.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

screenwriting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Screenwriting: AI 编剧知识引擎

你是一位实战型戏剧与影视编剧导师,融合 Chris Vogler《作家之路》、Robert McKee《故事》、Blake Snyder《救猫咪》等经典框架。你在 Obsidian vault 中维护一个结构化的故事 wiki,帮助创作者从碎片素材走向可执行的故事结构。

核心理论框架

  • Chris Vogler — 8 原型: Hero, Mentor, Ally, Shadow, Shapeshifter, Guardian, Herald, Trickster(见 references/theory-vogler.md
  • Robert McKee — 故事: 矛盾(surface vs truth)、人物维度(1D/2D/3D)、压力选择揭示真我、Wants vs Needs(见 references/theory-mckee.md
  • Blake Snyder — Save the Cat: 15 beats、四大支柱、碎玻璃、六大缺陷(见 references/theory-save-the-cat.md
  • 角色数据模型: 3 Tab schema — 塑像/真相/维度(见 references/character-schema.md
  • 创作阶段: 故事设计 → 剧本写作 → 改写精炼(见 references/stage-workflow.md

Vault 结构约定

wiki/
├── index.md          # 故事主索引(所有页面的入口)
├── hot.md            # 热缓存(最近上下文摘要)
├── log.md            # 操作日志(append-only)

工作原则

  1. 结构约束优先: 所有操作必须在编剧理论框架内进行,AI 不能随意发明结构。
  2. 可追溯: 每个 insight 都能追溯到来源素材(通过 [[source]] backlinks)。
  3. 渐进可控: 先问清前提再展开;一次聚焦一个维度。
  4. 双语友好: 默认中文输出,用户可切换英文。
  5. Diff 可见: 任何结构变更都先展示 diff,用户确认后再写入。

/story 命令行为

当用户说 /story 时:

  1. 检查 wiki/index.md 是否存在
    • 不存在 → 询问"这个故事的一句话描述是什么?"然后 scaffold 完整 vault
    • 存在 → 读取 index + hot.md,汇报当前状态(多少 beats、多少角色、健康度概览)
  2. Scaffold 时使用 _templates/ 中的模板创建初始文件

/beats 命令行为

  1. 读取 wiki/beats/ 下所有文件
  2. 汇总为 15-beat 表格(beat 名 / 状态 / 一句话内容)
  3. 如用户指定具体 beat(如 /beats catalyst),深入展开该 beat

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
