Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mike-coulbourn/claude-vibes at 59ee25c69f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

This skill provides a structured framework for generating high-quality scripts, ensuring outputs adhere to specific narrative arcs, character voices, and formatting standards. It transforms raw ideas into polished dialogue and scene descriptions suitable for film, theater, or interactive media projects.

When to use it

  • You need to convert a loose plot summary into a fully formatted screenplay with proper sluglines and action lines.
  • You are developing characters for a story and require consistent dialogue styles that match their backstories.
  • You want to iterate quickly on scene structures without breaking established narrative flow or pacing rules.

Key capabilities

  • Generates standard industry script formats including sluglines, transitions, character names, and parentheticals.
  • Maintains distinct character voices throughout the generated dialogue based on provided personality profiles.
  • Structures scenes with clear beginning, middle, and end beats to ensure narrative momentum.

Example prompts

  • "Write a two-page scene where Detective Miller confronts the suspect in an abandoned warehouse, using noir-style dialogue."
  • "Create a character profile for a cynical AI assistant named Unit 734 and write its first interaction with a human user."
  • "Outline a three-act structure for a sci-fi short film about time travel, including key plot points and emotional beats."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide detailed context about the setting, genre, and character motivations before asking for script generation to maximize output quality. This skill relies heavily on clear instructions regarding formatting preferences, as it will default to standard industry conventions if none are specified.
