Recent AI short drama circles have seen a striking open-source project.
Friends who make AI short dramas have probably all had this experience: After finally finishing the script, the character appearances are inconsistent from beginning to end, the storyboards are a complete mess, and after spending ages writing prompts, the video model still refuses to follow the rules. In the end, more time is spent on debugging than on actual creation.
What’s even more frustrating is that these workflows rely entirely on personal experience. When someone else takes over, it’s a completely different approach, and quality simply can’t be consistently delivered.
Until recently, I came across the shuohao-skills project on X — an AI short drama production skill pack that quickly racked up over 1,900 stars shortly after launch.
It’s not one of those massive all-in-one SaaS platforms, nor is it a system that requires complex deployment. Instead, it’s a set of “plugins” designed for AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex.
Throw a novel into it, and it starts from the adaptation outline, breaks down characters, produces art direction, writes the script, cuts the storyboards, and finally outputs materials that can be fed directly into video models like Seedance or MiniMax H3. Every step includes code-level quality checks, giving the model zero chance to “freestyle” and mess things up.
