Overview

Short Drama Script Writer is one skill from ZenStory AI's Drama Skills suite. You give your agent an episode idea, an outline or an existing draft; it writes a single Markdown script with numbered scenes, action, dialogue and tags for voice-over, sound effects and on-screen text. It can also tidy a script you already have while keeping your wording. It is built for Chinese-language short dramas and motion comics, and suits screenwriters and motion-comic studios.

It aims for scenes that change what the characters know, want or risk, and dialogue an actor can perform, and it keeps your own lines when it revises.

Good to know

You have a premise or an episode outline and need a script that can go straight to storyboarding. The skill writes the whole episode into one Markdown file with scene headings, action, dialogue and production tags.

Limits

  • The SKILL.md and the script format are in Chinese, and it is designed around Chinese short dramas. It writes the script only; visual design, storyboards and prompts are other skills in the suite.
  • The running-time estimate counts dialogue and gives seconds only if your project file sets speaking rates. Read the episode aloud against your target length.
