Editor's notes
Clone it into ~/.codex/skills to use it in Codex. Each of the five stages saves a Markdown file, such as 项目锚定卡.md (project anchor card) and 5分钟卡点大纲.md (5-minute beat outline), and a stage cannot begin until the previous file is saved. The opening is built as a 3-second hook image, a 10-second escalation and a 30-second reveal, and the four acts break at 0:30, 2:00 and 3:45. The script is written one act at a time with approval in between, and only at the end does it offer a storyboard version. It recommends AI live-action drama as the default visual form, and the repo has no license file.
