# save_storyboard_template

**Save storyboard as template**

Freeze a board's scenes, prompts, durations and connections into a named template. Stills, clips and cast are not carried — a template is the format, not the footage.

## Scope

- `storyboards.write` — Authors, edits, renders and deletes storyboards. Reading a board rides media.read, and the two board tools that spend need generation.write as well.

## Behaviour

- **Writes**: Creates or changes items in the caller's own account.
- **Adds or updates**: Adds or updates; nothing the caller already has is deleted or overwritten.
- **Stays in the account**: Stays inside the caller's private Kuro account: any media provider it calls acts on Kuro's account, and the result is visible to no one else.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `storyboard_id` | string | yes | uuid |
| `name` | string | yes | at least 1 character; at most 100 characters |

## Example call

A `tools/call` request with the required arguments only, each a placeholder read off the schema. Replace them before sending.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "save_storyboard_template",
    "arguments": {
      "storyboard_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000",
      "name": "<name>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Input schema

As the server sends it in `tools/list`:

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "storyboard_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uuid"
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 100
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "storyboard_id",
    "name"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```

- [`connect_scenes`](https://meetkuro.com/agents/tools/connect_scenes.md): Draw an arrow from one scene to another, by number — a branch or a convergence makes a second video path through the board.
