Editor's notes
A Codex skill; v2.2.0 is downloaded from the GitHub Release, which also includes a SkillHub-compatible package. Of 47 top-level modules, each task loads one main module, one platform adapter and at most two enhancements; some of the Seedance 2.5 adapter's rules come from OSideMedia's Higgsfield skill. External executors such as CellCog and Higgsfield run only after the user agrees to uploads and charges. The bundled validate_storyboard.py checks timing and references in storyboard JSON, and check_updates.py compares each module with its upstream version.
