Video Script Storyboard

Video Script + Storyboard

Generate complete video production packages: hooks, scripts, storyboard shot lists, on-screen text, and thumbnail prompts — with AI-ready prompts for each shot.

Workflow

This skill follows a 5-step sequential workflow:

1. Gather topic — Obtain the video subject/story from the user
2. Confirm parameters — Clarify key production parameters
3. Generate content — Produce the full video package
4. User review & refine — Iterate based on feedback
5. Final output — Export as Markdown document to assets/

Step 1: Gather Topic

Ask the user for their video topic/story content. Accept any of:

• A simple topic (e.g., "Pikachu vs Bulbasaur")
• A story concept or narrative outline
• A product/brand to feature
• Reference URLs or images for inspiration

Step 2: Confirm Parameters

Confirm the following parameters through conversation. Skip any the user has already specified. Use defaults for unspecified optional parameters.

角色一致性：When roles are specified, generate detailed character appearance descriptions to ensure visual consistency across all shots and segments.

风格选择：If the user is unsure about style, consult references/video-styles.md to suggest appropriate options based on their content type.

Step 3: Generate Content

Generate the full video package. For each video segment, produce four content blocks:

3.1 Thumbnail Prompt (缩略图提示词)

• AI image generation prompt for the video cover/thumbnail
• Write in English for maximum AI tool compatibility
• Include composition, style, elements, and mood

3.2 Voiceover Script (旁白脚本)

• Spoken narration / voiceover content
• Match the specified tone and target audience
• Include hooks in the opening to grab attention

3.3 Shot List (分镜镜头表)

For each shot, specify:

• Time range (e.g., 00-03s)
• Shot type — Reference references/shot-types.md for shot sizes
• Camera movement — Reference references/shot-types.md for movement types
• Scene description — Reference references/scene-types.md for scene vocabulary
• Audio/SFX — Sound effects and music cues
• AI Prompt — English prompt for AI video/image generation tools

Shot timing rules:

• Each shot ≤ durationSeconds parameter
• Total duration should match durationTotal
• Use transitions from references/shot-types.md

3.4 On-screen Text (屏幕文字)

• Timestamped text overlays (subtitles, titles, CTA)
• Include emoji and visual indicators where appropriate
• Final frame should include CTA (Subscribe, Like, Comment, etc.)

Output Format

The final output document MUST contain both formats as defined in templates/output-template.md:

1. JSON 结构数据 — Complete structured JSON following the video_info + segments schema. Place at the top of the document inside a json code block. This enables downstream tools (AI video generators, automation scripts) to parse and consume the data programmatically.
2. Markdown 可读文档 — Human-readable Markdown with tables, blockquotes, and visual formatting. Place after the JSON block for easy review and collaboration.

Step 4: User Review & Refine

Present the generated content and invite the user to request adjustments:

• Modify shot content for specific time ranges
• Change style, tone, or camera angles
• Add/remove/edit voiceover lines or sound effects
• Adjust timing or segment structure
• Regenerate thumbnail prompts

Iterate until the user is satisfied.

Step 5: Final Output

Export the final approved content as a document containing both JSON and Markdown:

• Follow both output formats (JSON + Markdown) defined in templates/output-template.md
• JSON block first (complete structured data), then Markdown section (human-readable)
• Save to assets/[topic-slug]-storyboard.md
• Confirm the output path with the user
