UnderleveledBuilder/awesome-short-drama-skills

UnderleveledBuilder/awesome-short-drama-skills is a curated list of AI agent skills for making short dramas and "manju" (AI-generated comic-style dramas). It collects ready-to-use instruction packages that you can plug into AI assistants like Claude Code, Codex, Qwen, Doubao, or OpenClaw to help with tasks like adapting a novel into a script, writing episode outlines, creating storyboards, generating video prompts, and even producing final videos.

What's inside

• 83 skill projects and 16 related open-source platforms (as of the latest update).
• Skills cover the full production pipeline: novel adaptation, scriptwriting, storyboarding, character/scene assets, video prompts for models like Seedance, MiniMax H3, Kling, and more.
• Most skills follow a standard SKILL.md format, so they can be installed with a simple command (e.g., npx skills add ...) into compatible agents.

How it's organized

• By type: full pipeline (script → storyboard → final video), writing (scripts, adaptation, review), visual assets and video prompts, upstream IP evaluation, craft fundamentals, and companion tools.
• By creation stage and by video model (e.g., Seedance, MiniMax H3) for quick lookup.
• Includes a legend for icons (e.g., 🌟 featured, 💤 not updated in 180+ days, 📦 archived).

Testing results The list includes results from two blind tests where AI judges (Opus and GPT) compared skills against a control group:

• Scriptwriting test (10 skills): four skills won all three rounds for script quality; one won for character outlines but was unstable for scripts.
• Topic selection test (11 skills): three skills ranked top in both judges' scores.
• Limitations are noted: only one model was tested, some skills couldn't access the internet, and judges disagreed on some pairs.

How to use

• Browse the list to find skills by category or stage.
• Install a skill using the provided command (e.g., npx skills add <owner>/<repo>).
• The list itself is also a skill: run npx skills add UnderleveledBuilder/awesome-short-drama-skills to get a finder that helps you pick the right skill for your task.

Important caveats

• "Manually verified" means the maintainers checked the repo description, structure, and classification—not that they tested the skill's output. Actual performance is only known from the evals linked in the README.
• Some skills may include scripts; always read the SKILL.md file before installing.
• The list is updated regularly (metadata date: 2026-10-22).
