Script Compose

Category: Content  ·  Sub-category: storytelling  ·  Last updated:
Handles screenplay work on the filmmaking canvas, only on explicit user intent (never on a file drop). Triages input as an official screenplay (use verbatim), a story or concept (iterate then rewrite at the target duration), or neither (defer to image/video skills). Captures the finalized script as a canvas note and sets the workflow title. Separately, on an explicit user command, splits the script into shot notes capped at 15 seconds each and offers to design character portraits plus location stills. Use when the user asks to write, adapt, or rewrite a script, story, or screenplay; to split a script into shots or clips; to extract or design characters or locations from a script; or to analyze or break down a canvas script. Preserves dialogue verbatim. Does NOT split or analyze without explicit user intent.

From the source SKILL.md

Run only on explicit user intent — never on a file drop. If the user just dropped a script, the bridge already wrote a filename-reference note; do nothing more until they ask.
