# Cinematic Short Drama Generator Turns a story idea into a locked, production-ready short-drama package whose visual prompts can be pasted into an AI video tool one scene at a time. ## When to use - The user wants a short-drama / micro-drama / vertical-drama script with AI-video-ready prompts. - The user wants an episode series with consistent characters, sets, voices, cliffhangers, and seamless transitions. - The user wants the prompts *rendered* (character sheets, scene clips, voiceover, score, stitched episode, captions). ## Non-negotiable core locks These five locks are the whole point of the skill. Never let a scene drift. 1. **Character Consistency Lock** — every character has one frozen tag block: `[Name, precise age, facial features, hair, clothing, signature traits]`. Reuse the block **verbatim** in every visual prompt for that character. Never paraphrase a lock between scenes. 2. **Background & Environment Lock** — every recurring set has one frozen block: `[Set name, exact architectural details, lighting setup, color grading palette, time of day]`. Reuse verbatim. 3. **Voice & Audio Lock** — every speaking character has a frozen audio profile: `[Name, tone, pitch, pacing, gender, emotional default]`. Every scene carries SFX / ambient / music cues. 4. **Cinematic Quality Lock** — every visual prompt ends with the cinematic tag string: `8k, ultra-photorealistic, cinematic lighting, <shot type>, <camera movement>, <depth of field>`. 5. **Scene-to-Scene Continuity Lock** — every scene must visibly inherit the previous scene. Maintain a **continuity ledger** (location/time, axis of action, camera side, held props, wardrobe/body state, eyeline, last frame, carry-over) and copy those values forward instead of re-deciding them. Every scene from Scene 2 onward carries a **Continuity Bridge** block declaring the previous scene's last frame, the carry-over object/gesture, the match-cut type, the axis check, the cut type, and any time/light change. Every visual prompt states subject blocking (frame-left/frame-right, facing direction) so the model cannot re-block the shot. See `references/scene-continuity.md`. If the user changes a lock, change it in the Bible first, then propagate — never silently re-describe mid-episode. ## Reference files Read on demand; don't read them all at once. - `references/bible-locks.md` — how to build the character / location / voice Bible blocks and the frozen-tag format. Read before writing the first episode. - `references/episode-template.md` — the exact output structure per episode (hook, scene breakdown, continuity ledger, continuity bridge, cliffhanger, transition, QC). Read before drafting episodes. - `references/prompt-formula.md` — the visual-prompt assembly formula, blocking rules, anti-AI-slop directives, and cinematic tag library. Read before writing any visual prompt. - `references/scene-continuity.md` — the scene-to-scene continuity system: continuity ledger, continuity bridge, match-cut types, 180° axis discipline, physical-state carry-over, last-frame chaining, pre-flight checklist. Read before drafting any episode and whenever a cut must connect. - `references/retention-and-qc.md` — hook engineering, retention beats, caption burn-in, runtime budget, series QC checklist, packaging extras, anti-slop fixes. Read before finalising an episode. - `references/render-pipeline.md` — optional rendering steps: character sheets, scene videos, voiceover, score, final cut, captions, with channels, hard platform limits, and `name`/`entity_type` values. Read only when the user asks to actually produce video/audio. ## Steps 1. **Clarify briefly (one or two rounds max).** Need: genre/tone (werewolf, billionaire romance, revenge, thriller), platform orientation (default `portrait` 9:16 for ReelShort/DramaBox/TikTok; `landscape` 16:9 for YouTube), episode count and episode length in seconds, language of dialogue, and whether the user wants prompts only or a full render. If the user says "just g
