> A curated list of open-source agents, production systems, research, workflows, and resources for AI short dramas, micro-dramas, motion comics, and narrative video production.

**English** · [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md)

## About

This list focuses on projects that address one or more of the following:

- turning a novel, story, or one-line idea into episodic scripts;
- maintaining characters, costumes, scenes, and props across shots;
- generating storyboards, first/last frames, camera motion, and cinematography plans;
- generating images, video, dialogue, music, and sound effects;
- orchestrating multiple director, creator, reviewer, and revision agents;
- producing timelines, subtitles, edits, composites, and final exports;
- evaluating narrative quality, cross-shot consistency, and production readiness.

> [!NOTE]
> GitHub stars and project status were initially verified on **June 29, 2026**.
> Newer additions and refreshed rows include later per-entry verification dates in notes or `projects.yml`.
> Always refer to each repository's `LICENSE` file and author statements for the authoritative license.
> Open source does not automatically mean commercially usable, and a self-hosted application may still
> depend on commercial model APIs.

## Observation Zone

The following items are promising and directly relevant, but are **not yet part of the main list**.
Typical reasons include early public release, low maintenance history, or value that is still more
component-level than end-to-end short-drama production.

| Project | Team | Why watch | License / Stars | Current caveats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ShotPlan](https://github.com/Pensioner-11/ShotPlan) | Su Guo et al. / `Pensioner-11` | Multi-shot cinematic video generation with explicit cut control and stronger inter-shot consistency; source, paper, and weights were released on July 20, 2026 | Apache-2.0 / 72 stars | Research prototype rather than a full short-drama pipeline; still no releases and no new code pushes after July 21, 2026 as rechecked on August 4, 2026 Beijing time; depends on Wan 2.1/2.2 weights, and the dataset has research-only terms |
| [Seedance Drama Maker](https://github.com/wanglongxiao/seedance-drama-maker) | wanglongxiao | Full short-drama pipeline with storyboard/shot review flow and character consistency tooling, but currently hard-coupled to BytePlus, SeeDance, SeeDream, Seed-Speech, and TOS APIs; no public release page found | MIT / 10 stars | Rechecked on August 20, 2026 Beijing time; source-complete and feature-rich, but API lock-in and limited release evidence keep it in Observation Zone |
| [AI Showrunner](https://github.com/Yanjin-ai/showrunner) | `Yanjin-ai` | Vertical short-drama agent covering script, story bible, storyboard, per-shot generation, critic-driven regeneration, editing, and multilingual subtitles | Unspecified / 0 stars | Source-complete hackathon prototype and directly relevant to micro-dramas, but it had no declared license or release as checked on July 23, 2026 Beijing time and depends on Qwen Cloud plus third-party video services |
| [my-adrama](https://github.com/hellomrli/my-adrama) | `hellomrli` | Newly public GUI + CLI short-drama workflow covering script, assets, storyboard, video, stage approval, and local packaging; release `v0.5.0` was published on July 26, 2026 | MIT / 0 stars | Directly relevant and source-complete, but it is still an early public release with no community validation as rechecked on August 4, 2026 Beijing time, and it hard-depends on commercial OpenAI/Gemini/Grok APIs |
| [guided-story-video-agent](https://github.com/1667001332/guided-story-video-agent) | `1667001332` | One-line idea to creative cards, 30-60s script, storyboard, and gated video render flow with tests and offline fallback; release `v1.0.1` was published on August 3, 2026 | MIT / 1 star | Promising story-to-video research MVP, but still closer to short-film ideation than a full short-drama production system as rechecked on August 4, 2026 Beijing time; real rendering still depends on external paid providers |

## Awesome Lists and Discovery Sources

| Resource | Description | Stars / Status |
|---|---|---:|
| [GitHub `ai-short-drama` topic](https://github.com/topics/ai-short-drama) | Most direct dynamic discovery source for open-source short-drama projects | Dynamic |
| [GitHub `ai-storyboard` topic](https://github.com/topics/ai-storyboard) | Storyboards, story bibles, and script-to-video tools | Dynamic |
| [GitHub `openclaw-skills` topic](https://github.com/topics/openclaw-skills) | OpenClaw video, image, audio, and automation skills | Dynamic |
| [ClawHub](https://clawhub.ai/) | Search for `drama`, `storyboard`, and `video creation` skills | Dynamic |
| [awesome-ai-short-drama-tools](https://github.com/clipcurator/awesome-ai-short-drama-tools) | Existing short-drama tools list | 6; small and product-oriented, so use as a lead source |
| [awesome-openclaw](https://github.com/rylena/awesome-openclaw) | General OpenClaw resource list | 29; not drama-specific |
| [awesome-seedance](https://github.com/ZeroLu/awesome-seedance) | Seedance prompts, workflows, and film/drama examples | 2.0k |

The GitHub `ai-short-drama` topic also includes production workflow, budget, greenlight committee,
concept validation, and casting kits published by [clipcurator](https://github.com/clipcurator).
They can be useful production checklists, but have limited community validation and are not ranked
alongside complete generation systems.

## Commercial and Closed-Source Watchlist

The following projects are relevant to the field, but no complete and verifiable open-source repository
was found. They are therefore **excluded from the open-source main list**.

| Project | Team | Positioning | Current assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| [ShortClaw](https://shortapi.ai/claws/shortclaw/) | ShortAPI | OpenClaw desktop runtime for multiple agents, schedules, and skill management | General runtime rather than a drama tool; no clearly verified public source repository |
| [ShortAPI VideoClaw](https://shortapi.ai/claws/videoclaw/) | ShortAPI | Director, image, video, audio, and VFX agents | **Different from HITsz-TMG VideoClaw**; currently treated as a commercial product |
| ReelClaw | Wondershare | OpenClaw-based idea-to-video agent | Still under testing; [launch coverage](https://stock.10jqka.com.cn/20260320/c675451429.shtml) · [update](https://www.nbd.com.cn/articles/2026-04-17/4345080.html) |
| [CreatorClaw](https://creatorclaw.ai/) | CreatorClaw | End-to-end creator agent | Private beta/commercial product; no complete open-source repository found |
| [AivoClaw](https://www.aivoclaw.cn/) | AivoClaw | Enterprise short-video and digital-human agent | Commercial product |
| [Ima Claw](https://www.imaclaw.bot/) | Ima Claw | Multi-shot, storyboard, and creative-generation skill ecosystem | Adjacent ecosystem rather than a core open-source drama system |
| [PlotParty](https://www.plotparty.ai/) | PlotParty | Character-consistent, plot-coherent, multi-minute narrative video | Commercial platform |
| Zopia | Unverified | Multi-agent video director for drama, film, and branded video | Primarily covered by media reports; no verifiable open-source repository |

## Commonly Confused Names

| Name | Finding |
|---|---|
| **VideoClaw** | At least two distinct entities exist: the HITsz-TMG open-source project and the ShortAPI commercial product. Always include the team name |
| **FilmClaw** | No credible, mature open-source project with this exact name was found as of the verification date; do not confuse it with FilmAgent |
| **MovieClaw** | No credible open-source project with this exact name was found; the related research project is MovieAgent |
| **ShortClaw** | An existing product, but it is a general OpenClaw desktop runtime—not a short-drama system |
| **ReelClaw** | The name is used by both Wondershare's video agent and unrelated UGC/Reels skills; verify the publisher |

## Project Evaluation Checklist

1. **License:** MIT and Apache-2.0 are generally friendlier for reuse; AGPL, CC BY-NC-SA, and unspecified licenses require careful review.
2. **Source completeness:** confirm the repository contains more than a frontend, Docker image, installer, or historical code.
3. **Model dependencies:** distinguish fully local operation, optional cloud APIs, and hard dependencies on a single commercial aggregator.
4. **Production loop:** verify that the project produces shot video, audio, captions, and complete episode exports—not only prompts or still images.
5. **Continuity:** look for explicit mechanisms covering identity, costumes, spatial layout, visual style, and multi-episode context.
6. **Recoverability:** long-running jobs should support persisted state, retries, partial regeneration, and cost controls.
7. **Maintenance:** inspect recent commits, issue responses, releases, and documentation.
8. **Security and privacy:** understand where unreleased scripts, local media, and API keys are sent.

## Contributing

Pull requests and issues are welcome. A suggested project should meet at least one of these criteria:

- provide accessible public source code or a paper;
- solve a meaningful part of the short-drama production pipeline;
- include reproducible setup instructions, a demo, or experimental results;
- add value beyond a base text-to-video model through agents, workflows, consistency, or evaluation.
