12 Screenwriting Skits for Claude Code

12 professional screenwriting and dramaturgy skills for Claude Code based on 19 craft books (McKee’s Story, Save the Cat, Egri’s Art of Dramatic Writing, …), and analyses of all of Chekhov’s plays and six scripts of Ozu Yasujiro’s films.

The skills include information about story structure, premise/theme, characters and conflicts, dialogues, scenes, formats/adaptations and industry knowhow. Descriptions of the skills are available in both English and Chinese, while their bodies are in Chinese, which Claude understands and uses no matter your prompt language. The skills are installed through the plugin marketplace of Claude Code (just one command to install all of the skills).

Why a vibe-coder should care

Using this version of Claude Code allows you to rely on professional writing methods instead of general writing advice. It helps ensure proper act structures, correct placements of the inciting incident and crisis, and effective use of dialogues to drive scenes. There is no need to waste time communicating about writing methods during each session.
