SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides rigorous, framework-grounded analysis of narrative structure, pacing, and character arcs so writers and designers can identify precise structural problems and receive actionable, theory-backed revisions rather than vague advice.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework-Grounded Diagnosis: Applies Propp, Campbell, Vogler, McKee, Genette, Todorov, Barthes and other named models to evaluate structure and justify recommendations.
  • Story vs. Narrative Analysis: Distinguishes fabula (chronology) from sjuzhet (telling), maps information asymmetry, and identifies unresolved narrative debts.
  • Character Arc Assessment: Produces want/need/lie/ghost breakdowns with arc checkpoints and transformation diagnostics.
  • Pacing & Tension Mapping: Outputs act breakdowns, tension curves, and suggested shifts to improve momentum and payoff.
  • Interactive & Game Narrative Support: Adapts narratological tools for emergent storytelling and procedural narratives.
  • Use Case: Provide a short story or screenplay excerpt to get a controlling idea, a three-act breakdown, character arc checks, and 2-3 revision options citing named frameworks.

Quick Start

Analyze the following short story excerpt for controlling idea, three-act structure, character arcs, pacing peaks, and provide two framework-grounded revision options citing Propp or Campbell.

Frequently Asked Questions about agency-narratologist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose pacing and structural faults in my story?▼

Diagnosing pacing and structural faults requires analyzing narrative structure and character arcs to map tension curves, verify payoffs, and identify precise problems, which yields structured act breakdowns and concrete, theory-grounded revisions.

What narratological frameworks are applied during story structure analysis?▼

Story structure analysis applies named narratological frameworks including Propp, Campbell, Vogler, McKee, Genette, Todorov, and Barthes to evaluate structure, map information asymmetry, and justify theory-grounded revision recommendations.

Can I analyze interactive fiction and game narratives for emergent story systems?▼

Yes, you can analyze interactive fiction and game narratives for emergent story systems. The analysis adapts narratological tools to evaluate procedural narratives, diagnose structural faults, and design emergent story systems for interactive storytelling formats.

How do I map character arcs using want, need, lie, and ghost breakdowns?▼

Mapping character arcs using want, need, lie, and ghost breakdowns requires providing character descriptions to generate arc checkpoints and transformation diagnostics that reveal structural faults and inform theory-grounded revisions.

What input do I need to generate a three-act breakdown and revision options?▼

Generating a three-act breakdown and revision options requires providing the story text or plot outline and character descriptions as input, which returns structured act breakdowns, tension maps, character arc checkpoints, and 2-3 alternative revisions citing named frameworks.
