SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning an approved manga chapter plan into actual production assets often leaves illustrators and voice teams guessing about framing, pacing, and continuity. This Skill translates canon packages into a precise, renderable storyboard and continuity ledger so downstream stages work from a single source of truth. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Render-Unit Contracts: Declares whether a chapter uses video-frame, page-composed, panel-first, or key-asset preview delivery, defaulting to immersive video frames for motion-comic output. - Frame-Level Storyboarding: Captures scene goals, camera framing, acting beats, on-screen text, audio beats with subtitle plans, and stable frame IDs for every visible beat. - Continuity Ledger: Tracks character state, outfits, props, injuries, relationships, and world-state changes across scenes to prevent visual drift. - Use Case: After a showrunner approves a pilot chapter plan, use this Skill to produce a storyboard with per-frame video beats and a continuity ledger, then hand both to the illustrator for image generation. ## Quick Start Use the storyboard-director skill to turn the approved chapter plan in chapters/pilot/chapter-plan.md into a video-frame storyboard and continuity ledger.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a manga chapter plan into a video storyboard?▼

Read the full canon package, declare a video-frame render-unit contract, then write ordered scenes with frame-level detail covering visible action, camera framing, audio beats, and subtitle plans. The storyboard becomes the source of truth for illustration and voice production.

What is a video-frame render-unit contract in manga production?▼

A video-frame contract means one immersive full-bleed still per visible beat at the locked series aspect ratio, not a printed manga page or panel grid. It is the default for narrated or motion-comic video delivery unless pages or panels are explicitly requested.

When should I choose page-composed instead of video-frame delivery?▼

Choose page-composed only when the user explicitly asks for printable or readable manga pages as the primary deliverable. In that case the storyboard must capture page-level layout authority including panel reading order and page-turn notes.

How do I keep character continuity consistent across manga scenes?▼

Maintain a continuity ledger tracking location, cast, outfit state, props, injuries, emotional state, relationships, and knowledge state per scene. Mark character debuts clearly and flag scenes where visual drift would break the story.

What happens if the chapter plan is too vague to storyboard?▼

Do not fabricate detail. Route a Story Direction Gap or Canon Gap back to the showrunner, and never start continuity bookkeeping while scene order is still unstable.
