plotloom-episode-card

>- Creates a lean Plotloom episode intent card before video prompt generation. Use when the user says plan ep001, next episode, make a 45s/60s short-drama episode, define hook/reversal/cliffhanger, or when `episodes/epXXX/episode-card.md` is missing or thin before writing Seedance/Dreamina/video prompts.

Plotloom Episode Card

When to Use

Use when series.md and characters.md exist but the next episode needs a compact intent anchor before writing video prompts. This skill is for intent, not full script/storyboard generation.

Inputs

  • series.md
  • characters.md
  • Optional existing episodes/epXXX/episode-card.md
  • User direction for episode number, runtime, hook, conflict, reversal, or ending handoff.

Outputs

  • episodes/epXXX/episode-card.md

Read These Resources When...

  • Read references/episode-intent.md when the hook, visible conflict, reversal, or ending handoff is weak.
  • Use templates/episode-card.md for output shape.

Workflow

  1. Read series.md and characters.md.
  2. If series/character context is missing, hand off to plotloom-series-brainstorming rather than inventing it.
  3. Create or update only episodes/epXXX/episode-card.md when story intent needs anchoring.
  4. Keep the card lean: runtime target, opening hook, emotional hook, main conflict, escalation, reversal, ending hook, required characters/assets, locations, and continuity constraints.
  5. Hand off to plotloom-shot-prompts.

Episode Card Rules

  • The first 1-3 seconds need a visible hook, not pure exposition.
  • The main conflict must be filmable as action, posture, expression, prop, or dialogue window.
  • Include a reversal/reveal and an ending handoff for the next clip or episode.
  • Do not create mandatory script.md, storyboard.md, review.md, or director-brief.md.
  • If a full script/storyboard is requested, mark it outside MVP and ask for explicit direction before expanding scope.

Stop Conditions

Stop after the episode card is clear. Do not call image/video tools, write video prompts, or select media.

Next Skill Handoff

Use plotloom-shot-prompts to turn this card into continuous video prompt tasks.

Failure Modes

  • Missing series.md or characters.md: hand off to plotloom-series-brainstorming first.
  • Episode already has a good card: summarize it and proceed to prompt generation.
  • User asks for full script/storyboard: confirm scope; do not create mandatory heavyweight artifacts by default.
