SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated Chinese narrative writing often sounds generic, over-emotional, and full of clichés. This Skill enforces a disciplined literary style—restrained plain description (白描), short-sentence rhythm, precise numbers instead of adjectives, and emotion carried by objects and silence—so long-form personal narratives read as human, literary, and free of AI mannerisms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Twelve-technique writing system: contrast openings, plain description, short-sentence rhythm with repetition patterns, number anchoring, object/imagery callbacks, silence and留白, bystander perspectives, montage time structure, anti-climax, and circular endings. - Strict language blacklist: bans exclamation marks, emotional metaphors, four-character lyrical idioms, and direct statements of feeling, with a 14-item self-review checklist. - Reference anatomy file: references/style-anatomy.md provides annotated original-text examples for each technique to consult during drafting. - Use Case: Ask the AI to write a first-person memoir chapter about a family member; it produces a restrained, detail-driven narrative where emotion emerges from actions, numbers, and recurring objects rather than stated feelings. ## Quick Start Write a first-person personal essay about my grandfather using the sun-style-writing method, with restrained plain description and no direct emotional statements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write Chinese narrative prose that does not sound like AI?

Use restrained plain description: write only observable actions, dialogue, numbers, and objects instead of emotional adjectives. This Skill enforces that discipline with a language blacklist, short-sentence rhythm rules, and a post-draft checklist that removes AI-sounding phrasing.

What is the Sun-style writing method for personal essays?

It is a restrained narrative method derived from a viral Chinese essay, built on plain description, contrast openings, precise numbers, recurring objects, silence as climax, and circular endings. The core rule is to never tell readers how to feel and let details generate emotion.

What genres does this writing style work for?

It suits first-person nonfiction, memoirs, emotional stories, documentary prose, and character profiles. It also adapts to startup stories, family memories, workplace narratives, and travel writing by replacing abstract claims with concrete physical detail.

When should I not use this restrained writing style?

Avoid it for persuasive copy, marketing content, fast-paced genre fiction, or any piece requiring explicit emotional appeals. The method depends on real, memorable details from source material, so it also fails when no concrete facts or scenes are available.

Why does my restrained narrative feel flat or fragmented?

Short sentences are a sentence-level rhythm, not a structural one; each scene still needs three hundred to eight hundred characters of layered physical detail. Also limit section dividers to three to six per piece, since overusing them chops the story into fragments.
