About screenwriting-skills

A pack of 26 screenwriting skills works in Claude Code and Codex. They cover film, TV and stage craft, pulled from 47 craft books and 23 script volumes. Install once, and both agents can use them. The catch: the skill files themselves are written in Chinese.

Best for: Film and TV writing teams who want an agent to apply classic story craft and TV methods to features, series or adaptations.

What it does

  • Covers premise, structure, character, dialogue, scene craft and format
  • Adds a series layer: episode and season structure, engine, writers' room
  • Handles Chinese opera stage writing with banqiang and qupai methods
  • Keeps project state in one story-bible.md file across sessions
  • Maps Chinese craft terms back to the original English words
  • Answers in the language you ask in, even though the files are Chinese
