What problem does it solve?
Writers often read a successful short story but cannot explain why it works or how to apply its techniques to their own fiction. This Skill performs a rigorous deconstruction of a supplied story, turning intuition into documented, evidence-backed craft analysis.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structural Deconstruction: Breaks down story core, character motivation, pressure chains, evidence chains, emotional movement, information gaps, and reversal setups with quoted evidence.
- Traceable Material Ingestion: Uses
ingest_material to preserve traceability for uploaded files, PDFs, URLs, or long text assets before analysis.
- Transferable Craft Extraction: Identifies reusable mechanisms, anti-patterns, and original recombination directions rather than producing replacement prose.
- Use Case: Paste a complete commercial short story and ask why its twist lands; receive a full Markdown report covering the reversal chain, emotional curve, and opening hook with source citations.
