## Usage Examples

### Basic Story Creation

```javascript
// Create a story context
const context = await skill.createContext(
  "Kutil's Adventure",
  "A cursed rakshasa's journey",
  [{
    name: "Kutil",
    description: "Cute purple rakshasa",
    personality: "Mischievous, kind",
    appearance: "Purple fur, golden eyes",
    role: "protagonist"
  }],
  "Ramayana Era",
  "Ancient India",
  "Lanka",
  "short",
  "comedy",
  "All ages",
  "Pixar 3D style"
);

// Generate story ideas
const ideas = await skill.generateStoryIdeas(context.id, 3);

// Create script
const script = await skill.createCinematicScript(
  context.id,
  ideas[0].id,
  ideas[0]
);
```

### Using Cinematography

```javascript
// Get camera techniques
const angles = skill.getAllCameraAngles();
const lighting = skill.suggestLighting('interior-day', 'comedy');
const grading = skill.suggestColorGrading('comedy');

// Get complete setup
const setup = skill.getRecommendedCameraSetup(
  'dialogue-intimate',
  'emotional',
  'intermediate'
);
```

### Character Consistency

```javascript
// Create character reference
const ref = skill.createCharacterReference(
  "char-123",
  "Kutil",
  "Purple fur, small horns, golden eyes",
  "Ramayana Era",
  "pixar-3d"
);

// Generate consistent prompts
const prompt = skill.generateCharacterConsistencyPrompt("char-123");

// Validate for anachronisms
const result = skill.validatePrompt(
  "Kutil wearing sunglasses",
  ["char-123"],
  context.id
);
// Returns error: glasses don't belong in Ramayana Era
```

### Save to Google Drive

```javascript
// Connect Google Drive
const auth = await skill.connectGoogleDrive();
// Visit auth.authUrl, authorize, paste code
await skill.connectGoogleDrive(userAuthCode);

// Save everything
const result = await skill.saveScriptToStorage(
  "Story Title",
  context.id,
  script.id
);
console.log(result.shareLink);
```
