21 prompt templates that turn one story idea into a full AI comic-drama pipeline

What it does

Each of the 21 genres (xuanhuan cultivation, palace intrigue, CEO romance, suspense, folk horror, and so on) is a single SKILL.md file — pure prompt engineering, zero dependencies. You paste one sentence of story idea and it produces a full production chain: a project plan with characters and worldbuilding, asset image prompts, episode scripts with dialogue, per-episode director handbooks with storyboard and video prompts, and even publish copy. Defaults to 30 episodes, ~4 minutes each, 9:16 vertical, all adjustable in your prompt.

The interesting bit

It’s a state machine built entirely out of prompts: output arrives in batches with progress markers, and you steer it with terse commands like “继续” (continue), “第3集手册” (episode 3 handbook), or “改：女主改成冷面师姐” (change: make the female lead a cold senior sister) — the latter triggers a targeted edit with consistency checking. The boring part — keeping character designs consistent across 30 episodes of asset prompts — is exactly where the value sits.

Key highlights

• 21 genre templates spanning fantasy, historical, modern, and genre-film categories, each tuned to its own pacing
• Works in Claude Code (drop into ~/.claude/skills/), WorkBuddy, or any chat tool via copy-paste (DeepSeek explicitly named)
• One conversation = one drama = one template; the README warns mixing templates causes setting bleed
• File-writing tools can generate the whole output continuously; the file structure is specified in each SKILL.md
• MIT licensed, with an explicit originality requirement baked into the templates

Caveats

• Testing is uneven: only the xuanhuan version has seen real production use; several genres got install checks or a stage-1 dry run, and the rest are untested per the README’s own admission
• Video prompts use a {{Mixed N}} reference-image syntax that needs manual rewriting per tool
• Compliance is on you — the README flags that suspense and folk-horror genres face stricter platform rules, and AI-generated content must be labeled

Verdict

Worth a look if you produce Chinese short-form vertical video and want a structured, genre-aware prompt scaffold instead of hand-rolling your own. If you don’t read Chinese or don’t make comic dramas, it’s a curiosity — a well-organized example of prompt-as-pipeline, nothing more.
