SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Writers and content teams often guess which short-fiction directions will perform commercially. This Skill replaces guesswork with evidence-based research into what short fiction is working, how platforms differ, and which commercial directions are worth testing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Market and Platform Research: Uses web research to gather current platform and market claims, and archives user-provided samples for analysis.
  • Benchmark Analysis: Studies titles, openings, pressure chains, evidence chains, emotional gaps, reversals, payoffs, chapter titles, and mobile-reading density using a structured rubric.
  • Recombination Recommendations: Separates durable mechanisms from temporary surface trends and proposes several recombinations with different characters, causes, evidence, and consequences.
  • Use Case: A writer planning a commercial short story asks which platforms favor which story mechanics; the Skill researches current samples, evaluates them against the benchmark rubric, and recommends differentiated directions to test.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to research what short fiction is currently performing well on major platforms and recommend commercial directions to test.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research what short fiction is selling on different platforms?

Ask for a market research pass on the platforms you care about. The Skill uses web research for current platform and market claims, archives any samples you provide, and evaluates titles, openings, pressure chains, and payoffs against a benchmark rubric.

What does the short-fiction benchmark rubric evaluate?

The rubric evaluates title promise, first-screen pressure, protagonist desire expressed through action, antagonist motivation, evidence and information asymmetry, emotional deficit before payoff, causal setup before reversal, anti-padding value, chapter-end continuation pressure, and ending payoff.

Can this research be used to detect plagiarism in my story?

No. The Skill explicitly does not turn benchmark research into plagiarism detection or a fixed tag table. It explains why a mechanism works, when it fails, and how to recombine it without preserving the source's expression.

Does market research automatically generate a short story for me?

No. Research does not authorize generation. If you want a short story produced after the research, the workflow moves through the normal confirmation flow before any writing begins.

How does the skill distinguish lasting trends from temporary fads?

It separates a durable mechanism from a temporary surface trend during analysis, then recommends several recombinations with different characters, causes, evidence, and consequences rather than copying surface features.
