Build Prompt

Copy this prompt into Claude Code
Build a static HTML screenplay formatter and editor. Dark theme with background #0a0a0f, surfaces #12121a, borders #1a1a2a, accent color #d97706 (amber). All logic runs client-side with localStorage persistence. Editor with element types: Scene Heading (INT./EXT. LOCATION - TIME, auto-caps), Action (full-width, present tense), Character Name (centered, auto-caps), Parenthetical (centered, in parentheses), Dialogue (centered, narrower width), Transition (right-aligned: CUT TO:, FADE TO:, DISSOLVE TO:), Title Page (title, written by, contact info, draft date). Auto-formatting: Tab/Enter cycles through element types in logical order (scene heading → action → character → dialogue → action). Smart capitalization for character names and scene headings. Auto-complete for recurring character names. Courier 12pt font rendering for authentic screenplay look. Page counter: industry standard ~1 page per minute (55 lines per page). Scene navigator: sidebar list of all scenes with click-to-jump. Character tracker: list of all characters with dialogue line count and first appearance page. Script statistics: page count, scene count, character count, dialogue-to-action ratio, estimated runtime. Scene breakdown by location (INT/EXT) and time (DAY/NIGHT). Title page generator with proper formatting. Export: copy formatted text, download as plain text (Fountain format compatible), print-optimized CSS. Script library: save multiple scripts to localStorage. Outline mode: beat sheet with Save the Cat structure (15 beats), 3-act structure markers, sequence breakdown. SEO: title, meta description, OG tags. Read the guide at https://accessagent.ai/api/guide and follow it to deploy the site to AccessAgent.ai. My email is [your@email.com].
