Structure scenes and control pacing using scene-sequel rhythm. Use when individual scenes work but don't accumulate, when pacing feels off (too rushed or too slow), when transitions feel mechanical, or when readers can follow but aren't compelled forward. Based on Dwight Swain's Goal-Conflict-Disaster and Reaction-Dilemma-Decision structure.
Reverse-engineer published books into structured scene-by-scene outlines for study. Use when analyzing craft, learning story structure from masters, or creating teaching materials from existing works.
Generate stories where ordinary people become crucial through their structural position in systems. Use when you want protagonists who aren't chosen ones but accidental pivots, when mundane jobs should reveal conspiracies, or when you need structurally inevitable involvement rather than coincidence.
Structure multi-POV stories through catalyst environments. Use when building interconnected narratives, when perspectives need meaningful intersection, or when a shared setting needs to generate distinct storylines.
Act as an active outline partner who develops structure collaboratively. Use when developing, iterating, or improving story outlines. Generates scene beats, character arcs, plot structures, and exploratory prose samples. Contrasts with story-collaborator which drafts finished prose.
Generate speculative fiction stories about systemic exploitation by collapsing comfortable moral distances. Use when exploring how privilege and harm are connected, when writing about systems that export consequences, or when you want stories where innocence becomes impossible.
Structure stories around essential emotional moments using Rodriguez's approach integrated with elemental genres. Use when plotting feels mechanical, when emotional beats need defining, or when building stories from vivid scenes rather than plot outlines.
Structure stories around protagonists who refuse to acknowledge what they're becoming. Use when exploring self-deception, moral transformation, or the gap between self-perception and reality.
Diagnose what any story needs regardless of its current state. This skill should be used when a writer is stuck, evaluating story problems, when narrative feels broken, or when someone asks 'what's wrong with my story?'. Keywords: story, diagnosis, stuck, narrative, plot, character, worldbuilding, revision.
Generate story concepts using a genre-first approach. Use when starting a new project, when brainstorming ideas, when a concept needs strengthening, or when you want to ensure emotional impact drives the story.
Act as an assistive writing coach who guides but never writes for the user. Use when helping someone develop their own writing through questions, diagnosis, and frameworks. Critical constraint - never generate story prose, dialogue, or narrative content. Instead ask questions, identify issues, suggest approaches, and let the writer write.
Systematically evaluate completed short stories or novel chapters to identify strengths, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities. Use after drafting to assess whether the piece achieves its narrative goals.
Generate stories about institutional outcasts given impossible mandates with minimal resources. Use when you want team dynamics in hostile institutions, David vs. Goliath within organizations, or narrative tension from constraint-driven creativity.
Transform clichéd story elements by pushing along the emotional vector toward statistical edges. Use when first instincts are too predictable, when elements feel generic, or when you need the core methodology for avoiding statistical-center defaults.
Create the perception of cultural depth through strategic juxtaposition of familiar and unfamiliar elements. Use when settings feel shallow, when you need centuries of implied history without exposition, or when worldbuilding lacks the texture of real cultural evolution.
Design and troubleshoot character transformation arcs. Use when characters feel static, when transformation feels unearned or abrupt, when you can't articulate what false belief needs to die, or when characters serve plot without having internal journeys. Covers positive, negative, and flat arcs.
Diagnose sentence-level issues after structure is solid. Use when prose feels flat, sentences are monotonous, word choices are generic, or voice is inconsistent.
创作优美的现代诗歌。使用富有想象力的语言，表达情感、意境和哲思。擅长运用意象、隐喻、节奏和韵律，创作打动人心的诗篇。
Systematically identify what's missing in non-fiction writing—both blind spots (inherent limitations) and blank spots (gaps that could be addressed). Use before finalizing non-fiction or when feedback feels incomplete.
Diagnose world-level story problems. This skill should be used when settings feel thin, institutions feel designed rather than evolved, economies don't make sense, or non-human species feel like humans in costume. Keywords: worldbuilding, setting, world, institutions, economy, culture, species, consequences.
Design cultures for closed-loop life support systems in space. Use when worldbuilding stations, ships, or habitats where recycled matter creates novel social structures, beliefs, and conflicts.
Design evolving language systems for fictional worlds. Use when creating language families, dialects, linguistic history, or when language should reflect cultural and historical development.
