Storyboard Manager Overview The Storyboard Manager skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge and tools for creative writing workflows. It provides frameworks for character development, story structure patterns, automated timeline tracking, and consistency checking across narrative projects. This skill automatically adapts to various storyboard folder structures while maintaining best practices for novel, screenplay, and serialized fiction writing. Core Capabilities The skill provides four main capabilities: 1. Character Development & Management Support creating deep, consistent character…
