UserThree Claude Code skills for learning storyboarding through timed practice sessions — observation (Phase 1), sequence memory (Phase 2), and script-to-boards directing (Phase 3).

Indexed Skills (6)
phase1-storyboarding
Run a Phase 1 storyboarding session for the "Storyboarding as Choreography" practice — conduct an observation session step-by-step from start to finish, where the user studies a 30–90 second sequence from real media and sketches compositions plus an original freestyle frame in a tight window, then annotates and shares using commentary lenses. Use this skill whenever the user says "lets do phase 1", "phase 1 session", "run phase 1", "phase 1 round", asks for a Phase 1 brief, asks for help picking or trimming a sequence to study, or otherwise signals they're starting a Phase 1 storyboarding round. Trigger on any of those even when the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" or "phase 1 storyboarding skill." This skill walks the user through every timed step so they don't have to track steps themselves.
phase2-storyboarding
Run a Phase 2 storyboarding session for the "Storyboarding as Choreography" practice — conduct a sequence-study session step-by-step from start to finish, where the user studies a 30–90 second clip from real media and draws it from memory across three timed passes. Use this skill whenever the user says "lets do phase 2", "phase 2 session", "run phase 2", "phase 2 round", asks for a Phase 2 brief, asks for help picking or trimming a sequence to study, or otherwise signals they're starting a Phase 2 storyboarding round. Trigger on any of those even when the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" or "phase 2 storyboarding skill." This skill walks the user through every timed step so they don't have to track steps themselves.
phase3-storyboarding
Run a Phase 3 storyboarding session for the "Storyboarding as Choreography" practice — generate a 1-story-beat script (action lines only, no dialogue) from a planning Q&A and conduct the session step-by-step from start to finish, including two Pitch + Notes exchanges modeled on the Pixar Braintrust. Use this skill whenever the user says "lets do phase 3", "phase 3 session", "run phase 3", "phase 3 round", asks for a Phase 3 brief, supplies a photo of finished Phase 2 panels and asks for a continuation script, or otherwise signals they're starting a Phase 3 storyboarding round. Trigger on any of those even when the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" or "phase 3 storyboarding skill." This skill writes the script AND walks the user through every timed step so they don't have to track steps themselves.
phase4-storyboarding
Run a Phase 4 storyboarding session for the "Storyboarding as Choreography" practice — conduct an Intention-First session where the user picks a beat (via the storyboarding-beat-generator skill OR supplies their own source material), thumbnails boards to carry the feeling, performs a phone-camera Pitch + Notes session (camera as the pitcher's spark tool, recorded for scratch VO/dialogue/SFX/music assets), then runs three animatic passes with a 2nd Pitch + Notes between passes. Use this skill whenever the user says "lets do phase 4", "phase 4 session", "run phase 4", "phase 4 round", asks for a Phase 4 brief, asks for an Intention-First round, or otherwise signals they're starting a Phase 4 storyboarding round. Trigger on any of those even when the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" or "phase 4 storyboarding skill." This skill walks the user through every timed step so they don't have to track steps themselves.
storyboarding-beat-generator
Generate single storyboard beats or short beat sequences for storyboarding practice in the Storyboarding as Choreography curriculum. Outputs a present-tense action line and a shift annotation — the smallest narrative unit a storyboard panel resolves. Use this whenever Johno asks for a beat, a sketching prompt, a scene moment, a panel prompt, or a starting point to sketch from — across Phase 1 (Observation), Phase 2 (Constraint Sketching), Phase 3 (Break Genre), or Phase 4 (Intention First). Trigger on phrases like "let's make a story beat", "give me a beat", "seed a sketch", "prompt for today's session", "beat for Phase 1/2/3/4", "story beat", "panel prompt", "scene moment for sketching", "generate a starting point", or any request to seed a sketching exercise with a beat to draw from.
workshop-3hr
Run a 3-hour group storyboarding workshop for the "Storyboarding as Choreography" practice — conduct a mixed-skill group session that moves through observation, sequence study, beat-driven thumbnailing, and a first animatic pass. Use this skill whenever the user says "lets do the workshop", "3 hour workshop", "run the workshop", "workshop session", "run a group session", asks for a workshop brief, or otherwise signals they're starting a 3-hour group storyboarding workshop. Trigger on any of those even when the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" or "workshop skill." This skill walks the facilitator through every timed block so they can conduct the room without checking a separate document.
