skills/shot-list/SKILL.md
Generate professional shot lists from screenplays and scripts. Use when user uploads a screenplay (.fountain, .fdx, .txt, .pdf, .docx) or describes scenes for production planning. Parses scripts to extract scenes, helps determine camera setups, shot types, framing, and movement through collaborative discussion, then generates beautifully formatted PDF shot lists for production. Triggers include requests to create shot lists, plan shots, break down scripts for filming, or organize camera coverage.

Parse screenplays, collaboratively determine shots, and generate production-ready PDF shot lists.
Support formats: .fountain, .fdx, .txt, .pdf, .docx
Extract from script:
import re
def parse_screenplay(text):
"""Extract scenes from screenplay text."""
scenes = []
scene_pattern = r'^((?:INT\.|EXT\.|INT\./EXT\.|I/E\.)\s+.+)$'
lines = text.split('\n')
current_scene = None
scene_num = 0
for i, line in enumerate(lines):
line = line.strip()
if re.match(scene_pattern, line, re.IGNORECASE):
if current_scene:
scenes.append(current_scene)
scene_num += 1
current_scene = {
'number': scene_num,
'heading': line,
'characters': set(),
'action_beats': [],
'content': []
}
elif current_scene:
current_scene['content'].append(line)
if line.isupper() and len(line) > 1 and len(line) < 40:
if not any(t in line for t in ['CUT TO', 'FADE', 'DISSOLVE']):
current_scene['characters'].add(line.split('(')[0].strip())
if current_scene:
scenes.append(current_scene)
for s in scenes:
s['characters'] = list(s['characters'])
return scenes
After parsing, present scenes and discuss coverage. For each scene ask:
