What problem does it solve?
Your AI video prompts drift between scenes because characters, era details, and shot language were never captured in one repeatable script system.
Who is it for?
YouTube-focused indies, short-film experimenters, and marketers who batch AI video and need era-accurate, character-stable prompt packs.
Skip if: Live-action productions needing union workflows, on-set scheduling, or legal clearances without any AI generation step.
When should I use this skill?
The user wants a cinematic script, story contexts with characters, AI video image prompts, cinematography guidance, character or voice profiles, anachronism checks, or Google Drive script storage.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You leave with structured contexts, scene-ready prompts, and consistency checks so video models render a coherent visual story.
- Story context with era, period, and characters
- Cinematic script and scene prompt sets
- Character consistency and voice profile sheets
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Build is the canonical shelf because the skill produces structured script artifacts and production bibles agents use while assembling media workflows. Docs subphase fits screenplay-style outputs, context sheets, and prompt libraries rather than runtime backend code.
Where it fits
Sketch a Ramayana-era proof-of-concept context to see if the visual tone works before investing in a full episode.
Author scene lists with camera and lighting notes your agent converts into per-shot image prompts.
Align thumbnail and teaser prompts with the same character sheet you used for the main video export.
Extend a winning series bible for the next batch of shorts without re-explaining wardrobe and voice tone.
How it compares
Think writer's room plus shot list for generative video, not a non-linear editor or render farm orchestrator.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is cinematic-script-writer for?
Solo creators and small teams using Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenClaw who want cinematic scripts and prompt bibles for AI video tools instead of improvising every scene in chat.
When should I use cinematic-script-writer?
In Validate when prototyping a narrative concept, in Build while authoring scripts and character sheets, and in Launch when preparing distribution-ready video concepts with consistent visuals.
Is cinematic-script-writer safe to install?
Check this page's Security Audits panel for the npm package and repo; installing the CLI requires Node and optional Google Drive access you configure yourself.
