Storyboard a papercut script before any code. Writes the Camera / Cut table, one block per scene with frame-level events on each stressed word, the SFX plan and the proof beat. Use for "storyboard this script" or "plan the camera moves and cuts".

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

# Papercut storyboard

The storyboard is the plan every scene is built from. It names the camera move and the cut for every scene, so the scene agent doesn't invent them. A brief that says "CameraPush or your own transform" gets a flat push or a hand-rolled zoom in every scene, and the kit's camera moves go unused.

## Preflight

- Install: Minimal is enough. With a library, check `library/papercut/CATALOG.md` (sections "paper/camera.tsx" and "paper/transitions.tsx") for each move's props and when it fits. If the file is missing or stale, run `python3 $PAPERCUT_LIB/tools/catalog.py`. Resolve `$PAPERCUT_LIB` from the environment, else the `PAPERCUT_LIB=` line in `~/.config/papercut-explainer/config.env`, else ask once.
- Needs `narration/script.json` and `papercut/STORYBOARD.md` with the HOOK block and the staging table (banner, set, prop, UI moment, mascot, gag per row). Missing: run `papercut-hook` and `papercut-script`.
- Backdrop sheet for choosing sets: `library/papercut/public/bg/backdrops/_sheet.jpg`. Open only what the step needs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer/papercut-storyboard@sha256:6b69d53f7ae5cbee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1bd2785, 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.
