In plain English

This repository contains a skill (a structured prompt workflow for an AI assistant) designed to help people working in film and television development. The README is written in Chinese. The tool sits between a raw story text and the professional documents that a film or TV production team would actually use. The intended input can be almost any story text: AI roleplay chat logs, short stories, web novels, story outlines, early script drafts, or interactive game narratives. The skill first reads the text and runs a quick diagnostic to judge whether the story is ready to develop further and which stage of development it currently resembles. After that checkpoint, where the user must confirm before continuing, it generates one or more specialized documents tailored to different roles in a production team. The output modules each serve a different purpose. A full development reader gives an overall picture of the story. A screenwriter adaptation reader addresses what to change, where to start, and what must stay intact. An actor reader focuses on how to perform the characters. A director reader covers visual and audio approach. A production summary answers whether the project is worth doing and what format fits best. A final module for advanced use cases produces an AI prompt package intended to guide further AI script generation. Version 2.0 introduced a required pause after the diagnostic step, so the tool no longer automatically chains all modules together. The user sees the diagnosis and chooses which documents to generate next. The repository also includes example outputs based on three named characters, reference templates for each module, and a separate detailed usage guide in Chinese.
