# ice-06-animatic: stage 06, animatic

This is a command. It runs stage 06 (animatic) of the production spine and nothing else: the storyboard and the look merged into timed stills or rough motion with temporary sound, and the cue sheet locked, then a first-time viewer's read of it before any build. It needs both stage 04 and stage 05.

1. Take the text the user typed after the command (in Claude Code it is also given as `$ARGUMENTS`). It may be empty. It is extra direction for this stage.
2. Open the [`ice-motion-director`](../ice-motion-director/SKILL.md) skill's [`references/step-mode.md`](../ice-motion-director/references/step-mode.md) and run its dispatcher (section 2) for stage 06.
3. The dispatcher starts with the state check, run from the user's project folder: `node <ice-motion-director folder>/scripts/ice-state.mjs check 06` ([the script](../ice-motion-director/scripts/ice-state.mjs)). Exit 1: say the printed sentence to the user and stop, changing nothing. Exit 3: say this film does not need the stage and name the next command it printed.
4. Otherwise follow the dispatcher exactly: it runs the stage from the active workflow's `## Spine stages` row and ends with the review card.
5. Stop after the review card. Do not start another stage in this turn unless the user approves and asks to go on.
6. Talk to the user in plain words and in their language.
