SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Extracts functional DNA from existing works to inform adaptation, analysis, and trope mapping, helping writers and analysts move beyond surface elements to underlying mechanisms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Six-axis functional extraction (form, structure, character, emotion, theme, relationships) to identify core story functions.
  • DNA document generation (extractions, clusters, syntheses) to organize and synthesize insights for reuse.
  • Adaptation planning and narrative redesign by mapping functional clusters to new contexts.

Quick Start

Provide a concrete work sample and request a DNA extraction for adaptation analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about dna-extraction

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract story DNA for adapting a novel into a different medium?

Story DNA extraction identifies core functional mechanisms across six axes—form, structure, character, emotion, theme, and relation—to guide cross-media adaptations. It moves beyond surface elements to map underlying relational dynamics and design patterns into new contexts.

What is functional trope mapping and how does it analyze fiction?

Functional trope mapping analyzes fiction by extracting underlying story functions rather than surface tropes. It generates structured DNA documents containing functional clusters and syntheses, helping analysts identify reusable design patterns across novels, films, and plays.

Can I use story DNA extraction for narrative redesign and screenplay analysis?

Yes, story DNA extraction applies to novels, films, and plays for narrative redesign. By mapping functional clusters to new contexts, it helps writers redesign narratives and validate consistency during adaptation planning.

What's the best way to document relational dynamics for cross-media reimagining?

The best way to document relational dynamics is generating JSON DNA documents that organize six-axis extractions into clusters and syntheses. This validates consistency and provides structured insights for cross-media reimagining.

Does story DNA extraction require specific input formats for adaptation analysis?

Story DNA extraction requires a concrete work sample provided as text. No specific dependencies or environment setups are needed, making it accessible for writers and analysts performing adaptation analysis directly.

Why does my fiction analysis focus on surface tropes instead of underlying mechanisms?

Fiction analysis often misses underlying mechanisms because it lacks structured functional extraction. Six-axis DNA extraction across form, structure, character, emotion, theme, and relation reveals core functions that surface trope analysis overlooks.
