SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writers of short-form death-regret fiction (stories about irreversible loss, after-death remorse, and soul-witness perspectives) often struggle to structure the emotional arc so the regret lands with evidence and escalation rather than flat melodrama. This Skill enforces a proven three-act outline structure for that genre.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Genre Routing Discipline: Requires reading the parent GENRE_ROUTE_STANDARD.md and outputting a genre card before any outline, chapter outline, character, or setting generation.
  • Three-Act Outline Rules: Structures stories as death/loss established early, truth revealed layer by layer through evidence, and regret collapsing into a resonant ending.
  • Chapter Outline Guidance: Tags each section with emotional beats (death fact, helpless witnessing, evidence surfacing, truth reversal, regret collapse, lingering aftertaste) and mandates chapter-end hooks.
  • Use Case: A writer prompts: "The heroine dies and her husband only later discovers she had been shielding him from disaster." The Skill produces a genre card, then a chapter outline where each section reveals new evidence and escalates the husband's breakdown.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a genre card and chapter outline for a short death-regret story where the truth is revealed gradually after an irreversible loss.

Frequently Asked Questions about short-death-regret

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a death-regret story outline?▼

Start by establishing the death or irreversible loss within the first 20 percent of the story, then reveal the truth layer by layer through objects, evidence, old words, or diaries. End with escalating regret and a quiet, resonant closing image rather than a forced happy ending.

What is the core emotion in death-regret fiction?▼

The core emotion is "too late" rather than simple misery. The death or loss must be established early, and the surviving character's regret must be driven by concrete evidence shocks and visible behavioral collapse, not a single apology.

Does this Skill generate full story prose?▼

No. This Skill only serves the AI outline system, producing genre cards, master outlines, and chapter outlines. It explicitly does not handle prose generation in the main writing workspace.

What must happen before generating an outline with this Skill?▼

You must first read the GENRE_ROUTE_STANDARD.md file in the parent directory and output a genre card. Only after the genre card is confirmed can you proceed to master outlines, chapter outlines, characters, or settings.

How should chapter endings hook readers in regret stories?▼

Chapter endings should use hooks like a reversed meaning of an old object, a revealed death truth, a belated phone call, or an unanswered message. Each section must add new emotional evidence or a cognitive reversal rather than extended crying scenes.
