Storyboard Generator

Generate N keyframes for a short story or scene sequence (image only, no video).

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
premise	text	yes	—	One-line story premise (e.g. "lonely robot finds a tiny mechanical bird friend").
scenes	int	no	6	Number of keyframes to produce.
style	text	no	cinematic, photoreal, soft lighting, 16:9	Visual style tags applied to every keyframe.

Steps

Use the plan to dispatch all N keyframes in a single parallel layer.

1. Decompose premise into {{scenes}} story beats with a clear arc: setup → inciting moment → escalation → climax → resolution.
   • Each beat gets a one-paragraph visual description.
   • Maintain character / object continuity across beats (same character appearance, same world).
2. For each beat, create a muapi image generate node (model=nano-banana-2, aspect_ratio=16:9):
   • Prompt = "<beat description>. {{style}}".
   • Tier: balanced (these are reference keyframes, not finals).
   • Aspect ratio: 16:9.
3. Run the plan in parallel (no depends_on between keyframes).
4. Return the asset ids in beat order with a one-line caption per scene.

Notes

• Don't animate, upscale, or add audio — this skill is keyframes only. If the user wants video, suggest the music-video skill afterward.
• For consistency, repeat character description verbatim in every prompt ("a small rusty humanoid robot with…") rather than relying on the model to remember.

Notes for the Executing Agent

• This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
• For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
• Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
