Purpose and Entry Points

This is a static, curated resource hub for evaluating AI short-drama creation tools and workflows. It does not implement an AI generation product. Human-facing content begins at index.html; repository-level guidance and category framing live in README.md and README.zh-CN.md.

Static Site Presentation

index.html is the browser entry point and likely renders the public directory or landing-page experience. There is no application source tree, server runtime, build system, or backend shown, so delivery is expected through static-file hosting.

Paths: index.html, README.md

Tool Catalog as Core Data

The repository separates tool records from presentation through data/tools.json. This file is the architecture-defining content source for a directory: it can represent tool names, categories, descriptions, links, and evaluation-oriented metadata consumed by the static page or maintained independently.

Paths: data/tools.json, data

Creation-Workflow Taxonomy

The content models AI short-drama work as a staged pipeline rather than a single text-to-video capability: ideation, concept validation, worldbuilding, character design, outlining, scriptwriting, visualization, storyboarding, camera planning, and video output. This taxonomy is the primary organizational boundary for catalog entries and comparisons.

Paths: README.md, README.zh-CN.md, data/tools.json

Tool Category Boundaries

The resource distinguishes end-to-end AI film studios from specialized video generators, writing tools, and image/character-design tools. The main control flow is reader-driven: identify the production need, map it to a category, then follow external product references for evaluation. The repository itself does not invoke those services.

Paths: README.md, index.html, data/tools.json

Localization and Content Maintenance

English and Simplified Chinese documentation provide parallel discovery paths for a bilingual audience. Catalog and site updates are content-management changes: maintainers edit structured records in data/tools.json and supporting editorial guidance in the README files.

Paths: README.md, README.zh-CN.md, data/tools.json

Runtime, Infrastructure, and External Services

Material runtime requirements are only a web browser and static hosting for index.html and data/. The documented external dependency surface is outbound links to third-party AI creation platforms, including LumenLine’s public site; those services remain outside this repository’s execution boundary.
