Editor's notes
The whole skill is one SKILL.md of about 15 KB, distilled from the Chinese edition of McKee's Story with the dot-skill tool; copy it into your agent's skills folder and call it with /gushi. The README lists 6 tested hosts, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes. Part A is the screenwriting method, including a 7-point scene design checklist; Part B has the model answer in McKee's teaching voice. The short drama section suggests 1–3 minutes and about 3–5 scenes per episode, and asks for a hook within the first 3 seconds through an inciting incident or suspense.
