- Added a new section in both README.md and README.en.md to inform users that the project is still under development and that deployment options are currently unavailable. - Clarified the timeline for reopening PR submissions after the beta release in early April. - Enhanced the documentation to better communicate the project's goals and community engagement.
Jellyfish — AI Short Drama Studio
An end-to-end production tool for AI-generated short dramas (vertical / micro drama).
From script input → smart storyboarding → character/scene/prop consistency management → AI video generation → post-production editing → one-click export.

✨ Core value
- Consistency first: Global seed + unified style + asset reuse to address the main pain of AI generation—character and scene drift.
- Industrialized workflow: From narrative script to shootable storyboards to video clips in one closed loop.
- Visual & controllable: WYSIWYG storyboard editor + fine-grained shot controls + real-time preview.
- Asset reuse system: Full lifecycle management for characters, scenes, props, costumes, and prompt templates.
🚀 Key features
| Module | Core capabilities | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Project management | Create projects, global style/seed control, project dashboard, chapter stats | Global seed to reduce drift, enforced style inheritance |
| Chapter production workspace | Script input → smart condense → storyboard extraction → storyboard edit → video generation → preview | Three-column layout, collapsible right panel, batch operations |
| Storyboard fine controls | Shot size/angle/movement/emotion/duration/atmosphere/dialog/music/SFX/hidden shots | Separate prompts for first/last/key frames, multi-version management |
| Advanced generation controls | Reference images across shots, ControlNet pose/depth, lip-sync, model & duration selection | Controllable motion + lip-sync |
| Asset management | Centralized characters/scenes/props/costumes, smart extraction + manual linking + prompt templates | Per-project vs global asset library |
| Prompt template library | Storyboard/character/scene/video/music/SFX/composite prompt templates | One-click init for new chapters |
| Post-production editing | Timeline editing, multi-track video/audio, asset bin drag-drop, final export | Edit full short dramas directly from AI clips |
| Agent workflows | Custom agents (plot/character extraction, storyboard suggestions), visual orchestration & testing | Node-based workflow editor (Dify-like) |
| Model management | Multi-provider (OpenAI/Claude/Tongyi/Hunyuan, etc.), model types (text/image/video) | Per-type default model, quick connection test |
| Generated media management | Unified image/video preview, tagging, filtering, batch export | Reuse high-quality assets quickly |

🔁 Frontend OpenAPI client & type generation
Request helpers and types are generated from the backend OpenAPI spec. Output directory: front/src/services/generated/. Cached spec: front/openapi.json.
With the backend dev server running (default http://127.0.0.1:8000), from the frontend directory run:
cd front
pnpm run openapi:update
Notes:
openapi:updatefetcheshttp://127.0.0.1:8000/openapi.jsonintofront/openapi.json, then generates code underfront/src/services/generated/.- To change the API base URL (default same-origin
/api), callinitOpenAPI('http://127.0.0.1:8000')at app bootstrap; seefront/src/services/openapi.ts.
