Editor's notes
It runs in five steps and pauses after each one for you to reply pass, revise or self-check; the storyboard comes out scene by scene as a Markdown preview and is converted to xlsx only after you approve it. Director-style templates are split into six dimension files, A to F, read selectively according to the script's genre. Shot-length guidance comes from the author's statistics on 551 shots across 9 short films, averaging 4.2 seconds per shot. The README tells you to copy claude-skill-shanyin-super-director.md, but that file is not in the repo; the actual entry points are director-master/SKILL.md and director-master.skill.
