Provide Scriptwriter with professional expertise in creating high-quality, structured scripts, supporting series continuity and sequel creation based on previous works.
Overview
This skill supports the creation of:
- Structurally complete scripts - Three-act structure, containing 9+ key narrative moments
- Series continuity episodes - Maintain consistency of characters, setting, and style
- Visualized scenes - Detailed descriptions that facilitate storyboard conversion
Core Principles
1. Visual First
Scripts must facilitate storyboard conversion. Avoid abstract psychological description; use concrete visual description.
❌ Abstract: Emma feels confused and afraid. ✅ Visualized: Emma's eyes widen, her fingers trembling as she turns the pages. Beads of sweat slide down her forehead.
2. Character Consistency
- Establish standardized appearance descriptions (first appearance)
- Keep key identifiers consistent in subsequent episodes
- Personality development is reasonable and gradual
3. Clear Structure
Three-act structure:
- Act One (~25%): Setup - establish the world, inciting incident
- Act Two (~50%): Confrontation - rising action, midpoint turn, low point
- Act Three (~25%): Resolution - climax, resolution, new equilibrium
4. Sufficient Beats
Ensure the script containsat least 9clear visual turning points, distributed across the three acts.
Quick Start
Process for creating a new episode
Step 1: Review series history
# 查看已有剧集
ls script/
# 阅读前作了解角色和情节发展
Step 2: Envision the story based on user input
The user may provide:
- Theme keywords (such as "betrayal", "discovering the truth")
- Plot direction (such as "Character A discovers a secret")
- Emotional tone (such as "suspense", "warm")
Step 3: Plan the structure
- Continue the worldview and character states from previous works
- Design 9+ key narrative moments
- Arrange the three-act structure
Step 4: Create the script
Use standard scene format, ensuring:
- Scene heading:
## 场景 {X} - {INT./EXT.} {地点} - {时间} - Characters appearing for the first time have complete appearance descriptions
- Action uses present tense and is visualized
- Enough beat candidates (≥9)
Step 5: Output
文件命名: script/ep{XX}-{title}.md
示例: script/ep03-betrayal.md

Example Scene Format
## 场景 5 - INT. 地铁车厢内 - 夜晚
车厢内昏暗，白色荧光灯忽明忽暗。空荡的座椅上散落着几张废弃报纸。
EMMA（25 岁，银色长发，穿深红色大衣）坐在靠窗位置，翻开古旧的皮质笔记本。
里面密密麻麻的手写符号和发光的六芒星图案映照在她脸上。
突然，所有灯光熄灭。
