What problem does it solve?
Interrogate drafts and outlines to surface missing personal grounding in storytelling. Use when developing a piece that feels abstract, over-explained, or disconnected from lived experience. Asks questions to draw out scenes, stakes, and moments. Does not write prose — draws out the material that's missing. Works alongside story-editor (engagement/pacing) and story-circle-brainstorm (structure/arc).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Question-based grounding: prompts targeted, section-specific questions to surface sensory detail, stakes, and personal moments.
- Workflow guidance: provides a structured process that identifies missing grounding and offers a set of questions per passage.
- Integration with story-suite: complements story-editor and story-circle-brainstorm to support end-to-end storytelling development.
