SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you build a reusable bank of personal stories and then select, adapt, and write the right story-driven hook for any piece of content—so your message lands with emotional resonance instead of sounding generic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Story bank capture: Guides you to document your defining moments (wins, failures, turning points) without filtering so you have raw material to draw from.
  • Arc-based story matching: Organizes stories by story arcs (Origin, Failure, Turning Point, Client/Student, Contrarian Truth, No Villain, Daily Reality) to fit different content goals and emotions.
  • Voice capture & writing in your tone: Prompts you to identify phrases you naturally use and words to avoid, then helps draft content that sounds like you.
  • Format-specific templates: Produces hooks and story structures tailored to offers, social posts, podcasts, keynotes, emails, and video scripts (epiphany bridge).
  • No-villain framing: Ensures stories about other people focus on misalignment and learning rather than blame.

Quick Start

Tell me: "Find me a story and write a magnetic hook for [the content type] about [topic], with [audience emotion] and in my voice," and then walk through the key moments needed to build your story bank.
