paper-to-storyboard

paper-to-storyboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MaoranSun/paper-to-storyboard. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,119 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns an academic PDF into a one-page scrolling website with extracted figures and a fixed visual structure. The page uses scroll snapping, meaning the view settles on one section at a time, to present the paper as a visual story.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when given a research paper and asked for a storyboard, scrollytelling page, paper-to-web conversion, or narrative website.
Why use it?
It converts dense research material into a guided web narrative instead of leaving readers with only a long document to read.

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

paper-to-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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/extract_figures.py, scripts/extract_text.py, scripts/generate_cover.py, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

paper-to-storyboard

Turn an academic paper PDF into a dark, scroll-snap, single-page website with the same chassis as the reference example. The chassis (HTML scaffold, CSS layout/animations, vanilla JS IntersectionObserver) is fixed. Only the color palette and per-section content change per paper.

Run this skill on a strong model (Opus). The hard part isn't the scripts — it's the judgement: mapping a paper onto the 9-slot narrative arc, rewriting body copy to fit display type, picking layouts and a palette, and composing the cover concept. Weaker models (e.g. Sonnet) tend to produce flat narratives, mis-assigned layouts, and verbatim-dumped paragraphs. If you're not on Opus, tell the user to switch with /model opus before invoking.

Inputs

  • pdf_path (required, absolute path)
  • out_dir (default: ./storyboard/)
  • palette (optional: warm | cool | earth | clinical | tech) — if omitted, ask the user via AskUserQuestion
  • mode (optional: dark | light) — if omitted, ask the user
  • typography (optional: editorial | modern | tech | academic) — if omitted, ask the user
  • generate_cover (optional: true | false) — if omitted, ask the user
  • title_override, subtitle_override (optional)

When any of palette, mode, typography, generate_cover is explicitly supplied by the user when they invoke the skill, skip the corresponding question and use the supplied value.

Style options

  • palette — color family. Auto-pick from topic keywords; explicit palette arg wins.
  • mode — dark keeps the reference chassis (white-on-dark with animated gradient + noise). light flips text to near-black, bg to light tints of the palette, button colors, overlays, and animation opacities.
  • typography — font pairing:
    • editorial: Playfair Display + Inter (default — newspaper/longform feel)
    • modern: Space Grotesk + Inter (clean, product-design)
    • tech: JetBrains Mono + Inter (engineering / lab notebook)
    • academic: Crimson Pro + Source Sans (journal / scholarly)

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.
