Turn an idea into a complete reviewed stick-figure video handoff. Write narration, direct three action beats per shot, keep character and voice consistent in every prompt, edit a local storyboard and export ready-to-use prompts and subtitles.

Editable studio + project.jsonDirector proposal + review SHA-256Individual prompts + production packageSRT / VTT + handoff + delivery hashesOptional offline MP4 + poster + decode evidenceThree original examples + retained MIT noticesCreators, educators and marketers preparing stick-figure short films with their own source and video provider.
MIT adaptation of kaomei. Examples are silent storyboard animatics, not model footage. Generative video, voice matching and provider costs are separate.
Capabilities: five visual worlds, English narration and reference translation, three timed beats per ten-second clip, exact adjacent transition checks, frozen character and voice blocks, editable local studio, current-proposal approval, individual prompts, subtitles and an optional silent offline animatic.
Deliverables: director proposal, editable project JSON, review SHA-256, complete production package, per-clip TXT, SRT/VTT, working HTML/Canvas studio, handoff and delivery hash manifest. Optional local renderer adds H.264 MP4, poster, chapter stills and full-decode evidence. Three different practice stories are included.
First result: tell your agent the story, audience, duration, ratio and style, or open the included local editor with node scripts/start-studio.mjs. No API key or dependency installation is needed for authoring and export; optional MP4 rendering uses Python, Pillow and FFmpeg.
Validation: actual generation of all three 30-second practice deliveries, complete decode of 720 frames each, real browser edit/review/export, downloaded-source rebuild, stale-approval and continuity rejection, inert text handling, preserved prior outputs and file hashes. An authentic editor recording shows eight actual actions, slowed for reading.
Version 1.0.0: MIT adaptation of kaomei / Stickman Video Director, with retained contributor notices and original Skillrove editor, exporter, illustrations and examples. Upstream remains freely available. The price covers this packaged workflow and tools. Public films are silent local storyboard animatics, not generated-model footage. They illustrate selected motifs rather than arbitrary written actions. Model access, paid generation, actual voice consistency and publishing are separate. $4.99 one-time; eligible active Premium membership includes this package.
FROM PACKAGE TO FIRST RESULT
Play three different fictional stories: a concept explainer, a portrait technology workflow and a cave comedy. Then edit narration, visual world and action beats in the local studio.

These steps use a project folder. Open the project in your agent and run terminal commands from its root.
Package folder .agents/skills/stickman-story-studio
Download and unzip the package into the folder above. Keep all its files together, with SKILL.md directly inside that folder.
Downloads require a verified account and purchase access. Choose a new folder if this Skill is already installed.
Read SKILL.md, review the generator and check its runtime requirements before running:
cd .agents/skills/stickman-story-studio
node scripts/start-studio.mjsEdit the source, inspect adjacent transition states and review the complete proposal. Approve the current revision, export individual prompts and SRT/VTT, save project.json and rebuild into a fresh folder. Any edit clears approval. Existing MP4 files require a new render.
The editor and exporter run offline without an API key. Silent local animatics visualize selected motifs; no model footage or voice is generated. Actual video services and costs are separate. MIT adaptation with retained upstream attribution.
If my-proposal already exists, change the output to ./my-proposal-2. Existing files are never overwritten.
Use Stickman Story Studio at .agents/skills/stickman-story-studio. Read SKILL.md and review scripts/build-story.mjs. Run examples/focus.json into a new output folder and show me all generated files. Keep fictional sample content clearly labeled.
