## What it does

The skill lays out the language of storyboarding: eight shot types from ECU to EWS, seven camera angles, nine movement types and the continuity rules that hold a sequence together. The 180-degree rule gets its own section — keep the camera on one side of the axis between two characters, or the viewer loses track of who is where. Match on action, eyeline match and screen direction are covered too.

Panels are generated through the `belt` CLI from inference.sh. Log in with `belt login`, then run the model: `belt app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{...}'` with a prompt and frame dimensions. Finished panels get stitched with `belt app run infsh/stitch-images`. No `belt` and no login means no images, so check that first.

Every panel carries a fixed annotation block: scene and shot number, shot type and angle, camera movement, duration, action, dialogue, SFX and music cue. Layout depends on the job — 2x3 for dialogue scenes, 3x3 for action, 2x2 for key moments. Before generating anything, the skill suggests starting from a shot list broken down by scene.
