novel-storyboard

novel-storyboard is a skill for Claude Code from eternityspring/shuohao-skills. It costs 349 tokens per session (4,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A storyboard tool for turning a short-drama script into video shots and keyframes. It divides each video segment into cuts and links every cut to specific parts of the script.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan AI-generated scenes, write per-shot video prompts, group shots into generation batches, and map dialogue to shots for voice-over work.
Why use it?
It prevents dialogue and story beats from being missed or placed in the wrong shot, while keeping each generated clip within a set duration.

About the project

shuohao-skills is a collection of agent skills for turning a novel into production materials for an AI short-drama pipeline, including character profiles, outlines, art references, scripts, and storyboards. It is for creators using Claude Code or Codex to plan and prepare AI-generated short videos. The catalogue add-ons implement the separate stages of this workflow and can also assemble their reports.

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

novel-storyboard 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 24d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/novel-storyboard.mjs, scripts/selftest.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

给 AI 短剧出分镜——管线里第一个直接面对视频模型的层。前提刻在骨子里:镜头是生成出来的,多切一镜的成本几乎为零,所以这里不心疼镜头数量,上限只有一个:视频模型单段生成的时长(默认 15 秒)。

核心机制:镜头认领节拍。 每个镜头声明它覆盖剧本某场的哪几个连续节拍(sceneIndex + beats: [起, 止]),镜头不许跨场次——换景必换镜。这让分镜和剧本的关系变成可机械对账的:

交付 解决什么
节拍认领 每个节拍被恰好一个镜头认领、顺序不乱——剧本改了重跑 validate,失效的镜头当场点名
单镜头 ≤ 15 秒 AI 视频单段生成上限,长对话在这里被强制拆镜(params.maxShotSeconds 按模型改)
台词装得下 认领节拍的台词秒数 ≤ 镜头秒数——逐镜检查,不是拍脑袋
分镜图提示词 + 镜头正文 分镜图提示词(frame,中文,直呼角色名)给图像模型配合设定图出图;镜头正文(shot,中文,通用身份)写这几秒发生什么。景别是枚举,中文景别词必须写进分镜图提示词
H3 视频提示词(每段一条) MiniMax H3 的 I2VA 结构:固定对齐指令 + integrated_multimodal_description + overall_soundscape + non_diegetic_music。认领节拍的台词逐字进 <d>[Chinese] …</d> 块——对白、声景、配乐一段提示词全带上
Seedance 视频提示词(每段一条,程序拼) 跟 H3 并列。由脚本按官方结构拼:参考图声明、段级走位、逐镜量化字段、台词 {}、音效 <>、配乐 ()、编号约束。模型只写每切的 shot,不写秒数、编号和图片引用
构图量化字段 每段 blocking(谁在左谁在右、间距),每镜焦距/机位/构图/视线落点/焦点/稳定性——不出分镜图时,它们就是构图的全部来源
生成批次单 同场景 + 同光照的镜头归一批,共用同一张环境参考图——AI 版的顺场表,脚本自动汇总
配音对齐单 每句台词对到镜号——TTS 音频贴到哪一段视频,脚本自动汇总

{baseDir} = 本文件所在目录。脚本 {baseDir}/scripts/novel-storyboard.mjs,零依赖,node 直接跑。

边界(不做的事):不写戏不改台词(novel-script 的活)、不出场景/角色/道具设定图(novel-art / novel-characters 的活)、不做视频生成与剪辑合成。口型/唇形同步暂不管——那是生成管线的事。


Step 0 — 定输入与范围

script.json 是硬前提——分镜离开剧本没有意义,validate/render 都必须给 --script。其余上游按有则用:

  • --outline / --cast:提示词禁人名检查 + 报告里 C01 显示成人名
  • --art:报告里 S01 显示成场景名 + 批次单嵌场景设定图
  • --shots <卡片目录>:可选挂载 shot-recipes 的镜头配方卡库(指向 shot-recipes/references/cards,只接受目录不接受导出的 JSON),开第 18 道 shot-recipe 门。没装 shot-recipes 就别给——本 skill 自包含,不依赖它

一次切几集:跟剧本的批次走(剧本写到哪就分到哪),默认一批 ≤ 3 集。

先定画幅:storyboard.json 顶层 aspectRatio 是分镜与下游出图共同遵守的正式合同,只接受 16:9 或 9:16。没有特别要求时使用 16:9;竖屏短剧明确写 9:16。

Step 1 — seed 工作底稿

node {baseDir}/scripts/novel-storyboard.mjs seed <script.json> --eps 1-3 --aspect 16:9 > <workdir>/storyboard.json

确定性展开:每场的节拍清单(编号、动作/台词、每拍秒数、说话人)进 seedScenes,这就是切镜时的工作底稿;同时把 --aspect 写进顶层 aspectRatio,省略时默认 16:9。每拍几秒是算出来的,不要让模型重新估。 shots 留空,切镜才是模型的活。
