What problem does it solve?
Writers and analysts often struggle to understand why a short story works structurally. This Skill breaks down a legally provided short story into scene-level causal chains, character functions, information release patterns, emotional arcs, and twist fairness, producing transferable writing techniques grounded in textual evidence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scene Causal Chain Mapping: Segments the story by scene changes and records each scene's goal, obstacle, choice, information shift, and emotional state, flagging weak causality between scenes.
- Six-Dimension Diagnosis: Evaluates the opening promise, character functions, information control, emotional pacing, twist fairness, and ending payoff using the method in references/method.md.
- Transferable Technique Extraction: Outputs writing formulas with original-text evidence, applicable conditions, failure risks, and candidate variants for your own project, without reproducing the original's unique expression.
- Use Case: Paste a viral short story and ask for a structural teardown to understand its hook, mid-story escalation, and twist setup before writing your own piece in the same genre.
