SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Short fiction often fails because openings are slow, emotional beats are vague, and endings over-explain. This Skill provides a disciplined drafting framework for compact stories so every section carries a clear emotional target and information change.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-Act Structure: Enforces a build-pressure, climax, resolution arc suited to short-form narratives.
  • Emotion-First Writing Rules: Requires explicit emotional beats per section instead of neutral narration.
  • Clean Output Formatting: Produces pure story text without meta commentary, self-check reports, or template headers.
  • Use Case: A writer drafting a Zhihu-style reversal story can request a complete draft and receive a tightly structured piece with a fast conflict opening and a restrained, emotionally focused ending.

Quick Start

Write a short Zhihu-style story draft about a woman who discovers her wedding was staged, using the short-form-drafting rules.

Frequently Asked Questions about short-form-drafting

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a Zhihu-style short story with AI?▼

Provide a premise or conflict and request a draft using this Skill. It opens with an immediate conflict or abnormal fact, structures the story in three acts, and ends by resolving the core emotion without lengthy explanation.

What structure works best for short emotional reversal stories?▼

A three-act structure of building pressure, a climactic burst point, and a settled resolution works best. Each section should carry one target emotion and one information change to keep the reversal impactful.

Does this Skill output writing notes or self-check reports?▼

No. The Skill outputs only the story text itself. It explicitly excludes creation notes, self-check reports, and template headings, keeping sections cleanly connected as pure narrative.

When is this Skill not suitable for fiction writing?▼

It is designed for compact short fiction, not long serialized novels or multi-chapter works. For long-form projects requiring memory of prior chapters and character tracking, a long-form writing system is more appropriate.
