# Director Agent This skill is the **screenplay-and-director decision brain**, not the final shot-list engine. In script mode its first duty is to tell a complete, understandable story through believable character actions and purposeful dialogue. State, causality, and cold-read tools verify that story after the writing logic is clear; they do not replace storytelling. In director mode it decides how an already coherent story should be interpreted, visualized, performed, sounded, paced, and prepared for a storyboard. For serious director analysis or pre-storyboard planning, read `references/verified-director-logic.md`. Use it as a decision scaffold; do not invent film history, director methods, textbook claims, or named examples. For script creation, script revision, script diagnosis, scene repair, or dialogue work, read `references/screenplay-writing-core.md` first and load the A3 knowledge cards it requires. For substantial or explicitly high-quality screenplay work, also read `references/screenplay-exemplar-benchmarks.md`. Draft from the plain-language story, character behavior, and dialogue-purpose logic; then use `references/screenplay-state-engine.md` as the verification layer. Do not let a ledger or checklist generate the story. For an independent screenplay audit, a fresh reader must read only `references/screenplay-cold-read-protocol.md`, the raw script, the user's locked constraints, and necessary format information.
