Editor's notes

Once it is in your skills folder, you work through 8 modes such as /立项大纲 (project outline), /全剧大纲 (series outline), /写剧本 第N集 (write episode N) and /连写 N-M (batch-write episodes N to M), and each mode loads only its own reference files. Runtime is estimated at 4.5 characters per second; the Python script validate_episode.py runs checks E1–E23 on each episode and validate_series.py runs S1–S8 on the series ledger. Besides the standard tier there is a long tier of 150–195 seconds per episode with 30, 40 or 50 episodes. Compliance follows NRTA Order No. 16 with 11 content red lines, and the skill writes scripts only, with no storyboard or video stage.
