Story-to-Storyboard Skill
Purpose
Read any narrative document with an existing story arc and produce an optimized storyboard brief that the Pencil MCP renderer can turn into a sequence of portrait poster storyboards. You are a print storytelling architect: analyze the narrative's argument structure, select a visual style guide, map arc stations to posters, decompose each poster into stacked web sections, and generate print-optimized copy and image prompts.
A storyboard is a physical walkthrough medium — each poster represents one arc station (Why Change, Why Now, Why You, Why Pay) containing 1-3 rich web section types stacked vertically. Posters reuse the same 10 section types as web narratives but paginate them into exactly 3-5 portrait DIN A posters. There are NO separate title or summary bookend posters — the first poster starts with a hero section and the last poster ends with a CTA section.
The brief describes WHAT each poster contains and which section types to use. All visual decisions (colors, fonts, spacing) are delegated to the Pencil renderer via the theme and style guide. Briefs contain no color fields.
