## Description

Convert Chinese stories or ordered local images into silent hand-drawn Remotion videos, with generated hand lettering, 327 built-in assets (297 style recipes and 30 theme palettes), a curated 30-style menu, and automatic reference-image style analysis with optional private reuse. Use when users ask to generate, import, restyle, preview or render hand-drawn story videos; browse or classify styles; imitate the visual grammar of a reference image; or save a reference-derived style. Preserve the approved colored-pencil diary default when no other style is requested.

# Story to Hand-drawn Video

Use the project renderer through this Skill's `scripts/run_story_video.py`. Set `STORY_VIDEO_PROJECT` when the project is not the current working directory. The wrapper must not rely on an author-specific absolute path.

## Resource Guide

- Load `references/asset-workflow.md` before generating lettering, importing masters, correcting glyphs or choosing cut/page-flip processing.
- Load `references/reference-style-workflow.md` when an image is a style reference or a user asks to save a style.
- Read the project catalog through `--list-styles` and filters; do not load all 327 recipes into the prompt.
