short-drama

short-drama is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ZJU-REAL/Easel. It costs 124 tokens per session (7,701 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A production workflow for making multi-episode AI short dramas, covering story planning, character consistency, scripts, generated video shots, voices, sound, subtitles, and final assembly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create horizontal or vertical episodic dramas, including episode bibles, shot-by-shot scripts, image-to-video clips, dialogue checks, dubbing, captions, background sound, and finished videos.
Why use it?
It coordinates the many parts of a continuing video story so visuals, dialogue, audio, and subtitles stay aligned across episodes and scenes.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

short-drama 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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/drama_ops.py, scripts/dubbing.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.

AI 短剧制作(横屏/竖屏微短剧,多集)

配置检查路径铁律:整条流水线开始前先 cd 到运行时说明给出的 Easel 项目根,确认 .env 与 skills/shared/scripts/ 存在。生图、视频、配音配置必须从这里运行注册表/check;不得在任何执行引擎的 workspace 或共享脚本副本中检查,不得用 env / printenv 判定缺少 IMG_BASE_URL、VOICE_BASE_URL 或 Key。发现缺项先核对 pwd,回项目根并显式传 --env-file .env 重查。

⛔ 三条铁律(最容易翻车,动手前先记死)

  1. 每镜必须「图生视频」成动态片段——绝不能拿静态图冒充。 关键帧图(frame)只是 I2V 的首帧,必须再用 ai-video-gen image2video 驱动成会动的 clip。跳过这步 = 一堆静态图配音,垃圾。合成前 storyboard 会硬拦只有 frame 没 clip 的镜头。
  2. 配音必须闭源云 provider(有情感、像真人)——绝不用 edge(AI 味平读)。 先 .env 配 VOICE_PROVIDER + voice_clone.py check 验 key;配了 key 后 dubbing align/dub 合成前就硬拦 edge,任何角色(含旁白)想落到 edge 直接失败。只有完全没 key 才 --allow-edge 兜底。
  3. 原生音频优先、环境音每镜必留、台词务必喂给模型。 视频模型原生音频(环境音/脚步/物理音效)质量好,环境音默认整轨全用。头号要点:生视频必须把台词写进 generation_prompt(prepare 生成)喂给模型,否则模型不知说啥、台词全错。默认 native-first(让模型逐字说、能说就用、不默认丢 TTS)→ audit 逐镜 ASR 核验:对上用原生对白(常态)、说错转 dub 换 TTS、旁白/动作镜走 TTS/环境音。决策与探针细节见步骤 16/18 及 references/native-audio-workflow.md。
  4. 画面/声音/字幕按时间线对齐,自然播放。 画面用真实片段全长(台词只占其中一段,按实际说话时间放置),绝不慢放/循环/冻结;片段盖不住台词就重生成/拆镜(align 硬拦)。

⚠️ 不许抄近路(执行纪律,最常翻车):prepare → drama_ops.py generate(生视频) → audit → align 是不可跳的链,脚本已加链式硬门:① 生视频必须走 drama_ops.py generate(它逐镜读 generation_prompt 自己调视频模型,agent 无从传成只有画面的 prompt)——别再逐镜手调 ai-video-gen;② generate/audit 见有台词的镜缺 generation_prompt → 判定「没跑 prepare」直接失败;③ align 见缺 clip-audit.json → 判定「没跑 audit」直接失败(不再静默把全部对白降级成 TTS)。「手调生视频只传画面 prompt + 直接 TTS」这条错误捷径会被拦回来——才有「台词喂给模型 + 用视频原声」。

编排层 SKILL:创意(圣经/剧本/分镜/lines)你 LLM 写,生成动作全委派已有 SKILL(ai-image-gen/ai-video-gen/ai-music),确定性 IO 走 scripts/drama_ops.py + scripts/dubbing.py;角色一致性靠「先定参考图再 I2V」+ 剧集圣经锁成同一部剧。
