Use when turning a script or story into previs, layout, storyboards or an animatic in Blender: beats to shot list, camera and lens per shot, staging, camera height, 180-degree rule, screen direction, shot sizes, when to cut, camera moves, timing stills in the Video Sequencer, markers bound to cameras, Story Tools, Grease Pencil or 2D/3D hybrid boards. Also when an animatic shows the wrong frame, blocking keys are not stepped, Rigify operators are missing, or viewport render fails headless.
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
# Previs, layout and storyboarding Expert previs conveys an idea well enough to be judged, as cheaply as possible: one fact per beat, every shot designed for what the audience must feel, timing found in the edit from stills. The camera is the audience's body; where it stands, how high and through which lens decides the emotion, so every non-neutral choice needs a stated reason. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-blender-expert (execution channel, review loop, 5.2 API changes). Toolkit: [`scripts/bx_previs.py`](scripts/bx_previs.py) (tested on 5.2.1): `import sys; sys.path += ["<this skill>/scripts", "<scenario-blender-expert>/scripts"]; import bx_previs as P`. **Which skill.** This one: story previs and animatics judged by a director and an editor. Out of scope: a playblast that guides a render-to-real video model (Seedance). It follows other rules (saturated color identities, no lens jump on a cut, eased moves, a hand-off sheet) that the workflow …

How to install
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-blender-previs-storyboard@sha256:dd4083bf2f8ca4f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.236fc59, 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.
