## What it does

A gated storyboard workflow for film, ads, shorts and educational or comic-style stories. The agent locks specs (aspect ratio, panel count, cinematic vs narrative), builds a character master sheet, writes a structured panel script with shot size, camera move and lighting, and only then renders panels one at a time, waiting for user approval at each gate. Images are rendered with dLazy CLI models such as `dlazy seedream-4.5`, and the final layout targets an A4 landscape print/PDF strip or comic grid. The SKILL.md mixes English and Chinese, has a duplicated front-matter block, and gives Windows PowerShell-specific command rules.

## Use when

- You want a storyboard for a film, ad or short video with consistent characters
- You want an educational or comic-style narrative laid out panel by panel
- You want to approve each step (specs, character, script) before images are generated

## Not for

- Batch-generating all panels at once; the skill forbids it and renders one image per confirmation

## Install

- OpenClaw: `npx clawhub@latest install dlazy-image-storyboard`

**Models it drives:** seedream-4.5
