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.
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.
Transform predictable story elements into fresh, original versions. Use when something feels generic, when feedback says "I've seen this before," when elements orbit the protagonist too conveniently, or when you want to make a familiar trope feel new.
