What problem does it solve?
This Skill fixes copy that sounds abstract or declarative by rewriting it so the reader experiences the moment through concrete scenes, sensory detail, and specific actions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Label-to-scene rewrites: Replaces conclusions, category names, and named emotions with moments that make the conclusion inevitable.
- Hook upgrade (skim hooks): Converts front-loaded summaries into emotional-weight lines drawn from the sharpest moment.
- Whole-piece compliance: Enforces the show-don’t-tell constraint across every section, not just a flagged sentence.
- Truth-first safety guard: Avoids fabricating specifics; uses placeholders like [SCENE NEEDED: ...] when the real moment isn’t provided.
Quick Start
Rewrite the following copy using scenes and sensory details instead of labels, and ensure the result stays faithful to only the information I provide.
