SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps writers assemble raw material into a structured, narrative journey by guiding a beat-by-beat progression and letting the user select starting points and pivots, ensuring the story evolves in a controlled, interactive way.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Beat-based drafting: generate and select beats that advance the story one moment at a time.
  • Starting-beat selection: present 2–3 candidate openings drawn from the raw material; user chooses the entry point.
  • Iterative pivots: after each beat, offer 2–3 next-beat options to steer the journey toward a natural ending.
  • Non-destructive editing: write only the chosen beat to the article file; preserves user edits and allows re-reading before each write.

Quick Start

Provide raw material as input and specify a save path, then the agent will generate starting beats, you pick one, and it will write only that beat to the article file before iterating pivots until the narrative ends.

What is the best way to control story branching when writing interactive fiction?▼
