What problem does it solve? Writers and communicators struggle to structure stories, pitches, presentations, and white papers so they resonate psychologically and hold audience attention. This Skill provides the major narrative frameworks — Campbell's monomyth, Vogler's 12 stages, Save the Cat beats, Propp's functions, Freytag, Fichtean curves, Murdock's Heroine's Journey, and StoryBrand — with concrete guidance on when and how to apply each. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Framework selection and application: Maps Campbell's 17 stages, Vogler's 12 stages and 8 archetypes, and Snyder's 15 beats to specific writing tasks, with a quick-reference selection guide. - Non-fiction adaptation: Shows how to structure white papers, pitch decks, product launches, and thought leadership using the reader-as-Hero StoryBrand inversion, including the critical Ordeal section most white papers skip. - Failure diagnosis: Identifies common structural errors such as weak Refusal of the Call, misidentified Ordeals, Mentor timing mistakes, and the false Hero trap in business writing. - Use Case: A marketing lead drafting a white paper uses the Skill to structure the reader's journey from Ordinary World (current pain) through Ordeal (why existing approaches fail) to Elixir (the proposed methodology), avoiding the transactional problem-to-solution shortcut. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to structure your pitch deck or white paper using the hero's journey framework with the reader as the Hero.
