writing-scene-construction

What problem does it solve?

It diagnoses why a scene feels flat or purposeless and repairs it by ensuring the scene has a concrete want, an active obstacle, and an outcome that changes the story’s state.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Want/Obstacle/Outcome diagnosis: Identifies the scene engine (specific POV want), the active blocker, and whether the outcome type is correct.
• Outcome validation and repair: Flags unmodified “yes” or “no” endings and converts them into one of the required outcome types (yes-and, yes-but, no-but, no-and).
• Scene function + density check: Detects scenes that only do one job (revelation, escalation, character, or transition) when they should do multiple things at once, reducing the risk of cutting the scene.

Quick Start

Use the writing-scene-construction skill to review the scene you’re drafting and produce a diagnosis plus a verdict on whether to keep, cut, combine, or rewrite it.
