Short Video Storyboard Planner

Guides video creators to plan shot-by-shot storyboards with framing, composition, overlays, timing, and camera movements for short videos.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only, document-style skill whose stated purpose (shot-by-shot storyboard planning) matches its files and runtime instructions and requests no credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description (storyboard planning for short videos) align with the provided SKILL.md and metadata. There are no unexpected binaries, env vars, or APIs required — everything is purely descriptive and proportionate to a planning tool.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only creative guidance (script-to-shot breakdown, composition, timing, etc.). It does not instruct reading system files, environment variables, making network calls, or transmitting data to external endpoints. It does ask the user to supply scripts/outlines (user-provided content), which may contain sensitive info — but the skill itself does not attempt to collect or exfiltrate anything.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files; this is the lowest-risk category (instruction-only). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill package.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The lack of secrets is consistent with a document-only guidance skill.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and user-invocable:true (defaults). The skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but is not combined with any broad credentials or install behavior.

Assessment

This skill is document-only and appears internally consistent and low-risk. Before using, consider what you paste into prompts (scripts or outlines may contain sensitive or proprietary information). If you need automated asset creation or integrations with cloud storage/editing tools later, expect those to require additional, explicit credentials — check for those if/when they appear. Otherwise this skill is safe to install for creative planning.

Guides creators through visual storyboarding — shot-by-shot planning with framing, composition, text overlays, and timing notes.

Target Users

• Video creators
• Directors
• Content producers
• Marketing video teams
• Beginner filmmakers

When to Use

• Pre-production planning for complex shots
• Ensuring visual variety across cuts
• Communicating vision to collaborators or clients
• Planning transitions between scenes

Core Workflow

1. Script-to-shot breakdown
2. Shot type selection (wide, medium, close-up, extreme close-up, POV, over-shoulder)
3. Camera movement planning (static, pan, tilt, dolly, handheld, drone)
4. Composition notes (rule of thirds, leading lines, headroom)
5. Text/graphic overlay planning
6. Timing and transition notes

Inputs

• Complete script or scene outline
• Total target duration
• Platform aspect ratio requirements
• Visual style references

Expected Outputs

• Shot-by-shot storyboard table
• Visual style guidance summary

Example Prompts

• "Storyboard my 60-second product unboxing script for Douyin vertical format."
• "Break down this cooking tutorial script into a shot-by-shot storyboard."
• "Create a storyboard for a brand storytelling video with 12 shots, 45 seconds."

Trigger Keywords

storyboard, shot list, shot planning, visual plan, pre-production, shot breakdown

Safety & Limitations

Storyboard guidance is creative support. Does not generate actual visual assets, drawings, or animations. Shot descriptions are textual planning aids.
