Download and unzip is simple, but two of the three pipeline skills (screenwriter and storyboard) are only available by contacting the author directly, not from this repository.

The README does not state a license for this project.

In plain English

xiaoyou-aigc-cinematic-director is the public part of a three step AI creative workflow built by a Chinese content creator known as Xiaoyou AIGC, meant to turn a single sentence idea into a full story, then into shot by shot storyboards, and finally into cinematic quality image generation prompts. The full pipeline has three skills: a screenwriter skill that expands an idea into a complete story with characters, world building, and a three act structure exported as a script document, a storyboard skill that breaks the story into filmable shots with camera angles and movement, and a visual director skill that turns each shot into a detailed, camera language aware prompt covering lighting, composition, and color. Only the visual director skill, called cinematic-director, is distributed openly in this repository and can be downloaded and used right away. The screenwriter and storyboard skills are not published here, the README states the author sends those files individually over WeChat to people who reach out, along with help setting up the environment. The repository is meant to be installed as a skill inside AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or Hermes, by copying the folder into the agent's skills directory. It also ships a single file, simplified version that can be pasted directly into a chat based AI tool without needing an agent framework at all. Download is a simple three step process: click Code, download the ZIP, and follow an included beginner tutorial file written for people with no command line experience. The README notes the workflow improves over time as good results get folded back into its own instruction files, and getting the latest version just means downloading the ZIP again and replacing the old folder. No license file or terms are mentioned in the README.
