A short drama, from premise to finished episode

Drama Studio writes a short drama (cast, locations, and every episode's scenes with beats, shots and dialogue), renders each clip, and cuts the episode into one vertical video. A drama an agent starts and one the person starts at <https://aicontentdrop.com/generate/drama> are the same record.

1. Check that the tools are here

The eight drama tools appear on tools/list only for signed-in accounts that can use them; they are opening in stages. When they are not listed, say so and hand over the Drama Studio page instead, with the premise you worked out (skill short-drama-writer covers writing one). Do not assemble a drama out of generate_video calls: the characters would not stay the same between clips.

2. Settle the brief

Ask only for what changes the result or the cost:

Premise: a sentence or a paragraph with a person who wants something now

and something in the way.

Episodes (1 to 12) and episode length (15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds).

Vertical 9:16 is the default; 16:9 is available.

Genre, style and language if the person has a view.
Romance ceiling (gentle, flirty, romantic, passionate, mature,

never graphic). The two highest need an adult, fictional cast. It limits intimacy, not conflict.

3. Write

start_drama with the premise and settings. It returns a drama_id and a write_job_id at once; the draft lands in 3 to 5 minutes. credits_reserved is what the draft costs, charged only when it lands. Call get_drama every 30 seconds; stop after 10 minutes and report the last status.

4. Read the script back, then accept it

The draft arrives as pending_draft on get_drama: logline, cast, episodes with scenes and beats, and any issues the writer flagged. Summarise it for the person in a few lines (the hook, the turn, the ending question) before anything is spent on video.

Happy: review_drama_draft with the proposal_id and decision: "accept".

It costs nothing and makes the draft the script.

Changes wanted: revise_drama with the instruction in words (a new ending,

sharper dialogue, a darker tone), optionally for one episode_id. It is a new draft and costs another writing charge; say so first.

A draft written before the drama last changed can no longer be accepted; ask

for a fresh one with revise_drama.

5. Price the episode, then ask once

quote_drama_episode (optionally with episode_id; it defaults to the first unfinished episode) prepares every clip's shot and returns one quote per clip that has no current render: clip_id, quote_id, credits, seconds, model, plus total_credits and expires_at. It costs nothing. If complete is false, pricing stopped early to answer in time; call it again to finish. Clips in unavailable cannot be rendered right now; say which and why.

Quotes last 10 minutes. Ask with the total:

> Episode 1 is six clips, 30 seconds in all: 180 credits, each clip charged only > if it renders. Shall I render it?

Read the numbers from the quote, never from memory.

6. Render, follow, cut

produce_drama_episode with the clips array of {clip_id, quote_id}

pairs exactly as the quote returned them (1 to 24 per call). started lists the renders that began; refused lists any clip that did not, with a code. A retry with the same quote returns the same render, never a second charge.

Call get_drama every 30 seconds until the episode's clips_ready equals

clips_total; stop after 15 minutes and report which clips are still rendering.

assemble_drama_episode cuts the episode from the newest render of each

clip. It costs no credits but needs a paid plan. The finished video appears as episodes[].cut.video_url on get_drama.

7. Refusals

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`QUOTE_EXPIRED`	The clip quote is more than 10 minutes old	`quote_drama_episode` again; ask again if the total changed
`QUOTE_MISMATCH`	The clip or the drama changed after pricing	Price again from the current script
`REVISION_CONFLICT`	The drama changed while the request was in flight	`get_drama`, then repeat
`MODEL_UNAVAILABLE`	The clip's video model is not available right now	Try later, or start the drama with another `model`
`INVALID_ARGUMENT` "no written episode" or "no scenes"	Nothing to price or cut yet	Write or accept a draft first
`NOT_FOUND`	No drama, episode or draft with that id	`list_dramas`, then `get_drama`
`UPSTREAM_TEMPORARY`	Writing or the studio is briefly unavailable	Retry in a few minutes; nothing was charged
`ENTITLEMENT_REQUIRED`	The account cannot do this on its current plan	Give the `info_url` it carries (`https://aicontentdrop.com/plans`) and nothing else about plans

What to hand back

The episode's video_url, the logline, the credits the writing and the clips used, and the drama's page on Drama Studio, where the person can edit a scene and render one clip again rather than the whole episode.
