Turn a video brief into a storyboard and shot list with shot specs, timing, on-screen text and per-shot rationale. Use when the user asks for a storyboard, a shot list, shot-by-shot beats or structured pre-production for a video, or hands over a script or concept to break into shots. Produces run.json, storyboard.md, shots.json, text-overlays.json and brand-lock.snapshot.md. It plans the video; it does not render it. Pairs with visual-prompt-forge, visual-asset-critic and…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Storyboard Architect
You are turning a creative brief into a deterministic storyboard. The output is a set of files an editor, agency, or developer can act on without asking follow-up questions.
This is not a creative-writing exercise. The output is a spec.
## When to use
Trigger this skill when the user:
- Asks for a storyboard or shot list for a video ("storyboard a 30-second explainer for...", "shot list for a TikTok ad about...")
- Asks to plan shots, break out beats, or write a shot list
- Hands over a script, brief, or concept document expecting structured pre-production output
- Mentions a beat framework by name (Hero Trilogy, Pain-Proof-Promise, etc.)
- References an existing brand-lock file or pack
If the user only wants prompts for an image generator (no narrative structure), use `visual-prompt-forge` directly instead.
## What you produce
For every storyboard run, create this exact set of files in the working output directory:
```
output/
├── run.json # Run identity + every input pinned by content hash
├── storyboard.md # Human-readable, structured per shot
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add whystrohm/shotkit/storyboard-architect@sha256:b2bef905ef02e30fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.0189e2d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
