studio-breakdown

studio-breakdown is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ikenga-hq/ikenga-pkgs. It costs 104 tokens per session (3,990 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A script-to-storyboard tool for Ikenga Studio. It turns a Fountain screenplay or plain-text script into shot entries, links each shot back to its source text, and lists recurring characters, places, objects, and visual style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a storyboard and asset checklist before generating footage, or to reconnect an existing storyboard with its script.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of breaking a script into shots and making a separate list of assets needed for production. It does not generate images or video.

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

studio-breakdown 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

studio-breakdown

Reads a project's script and produces two things the AI-filmmaker loop needs before generation:

  1. A shot board — one Cell per shot, with shot type, camera, a one-line action, OTIO scene/shot ids, a first-draft prompt, and a duration.
  2. Shot tags written back into script.fountain (narrative projects) — so the script line and the shot it produced are linkable as the same object, seen twice.
  3. An asset checklist — the distinct characters, locations, props, and the overall style/look, each created as an Anchor ready to be seed-locked and generated.

It is the "paste a script → get a populated board + asset checklist" step. It does not generate video or images and never spends — generation is a separate, human-approved step (the supervised loop). Extraction fidelity is the whole job.

Two branches, decided by the board — not by you. Run storyboard.list_cells first:

  • Empty board → scaffold. The full procedure below: segment, extract anchors, tag.
  • Board already has cells → retag only. Create, delete and reorder nothing; match the existing cells to the script's paragraphs and write only the [[tag]]s. Jump to step 4 — steps 2 and 3 do not apply.

If you were asked only to "tag this script" (from the Studio Breakdown pane, or after breakdown.run returned ambiguous-needs-chi), you are in the retag branch. Go to step 4.

Preconditions

  • A Studio project is open (via the com.ikenga.studio MCP: project.open / project.create).
  • A script exists: either a narrative project with a script.fountain (read via storyboard.read_fountain), or a script passed in as text.

Procedure

Work against the mcp__studio__* tool surface. All calls are project-scoped (the active project is injected).

1 — Read the script

  • Narrative project: storyboard.read_fountain → the parsed beats/scenes.
  • Otherwise: take the provided script text.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
