SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps writers produce or analyze a specific Chinese narrative style called "cold-ledger storytelling", where emotions are carried by exact numbers, bills, work procedures, recurring objects, and restrained dialogue instead of explicit sentiment, while keeping clear boundaries between fiction, authorized real experiences, and verifiable facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Routing by Length: Routes requests into technique analysis, fragments (200-800 characters), short stories (800-2500 characters), or long-form stories (2500-4500 characters) with matching structural templates.
  • Methodology and Sentence Pattern Libraries: Provides a dual-ledger method (surface facts vs. hidden emotions), four narrative engines, and 15 reusable sentence patterns for scale contrast, delayed explanation, and object callbacks.
  • Originality and Fact Boundaries: Enforces surface and deep originality distance checks against reference texts, plus strict rules for real people, authorized experiences, and professional details.
  • Use Case: A user provides fictional character notes and asks for a 2000-character story about family caregiving told through shift counts, medication doses, and payment receipts; the Skill returns only a title and body text built on the cold-ledger method.

Quick Start

Use $yao-cold-ledger-skill to write a 1500-character Chinese short story about two siblings paying hospital bills, told through exact numbers and restrained dialogue with an object that echoes at the end.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a cold-ledger style Chinese story?

Provide your materials and a target length, then request the cold-ledger style explicitly. The Skill builds a surface ledger of numbers, procedures, and objects alongside a hidden emotional ledger, and returns only a title and body text by default.

What is cold-ledger narrative writing?

Cold-ledger narrative is an evidence-first Chinese fiction style where amounts, times, routes, work procedures, and objects sit in the foreground while emotion emerges through repetition, absence, and delayed recognition. Readers infer feelings from facts rather than being told them.

Can it analyze an existing story instead of writing one?

Yes, analysis requests produce a breakdown of structure, narrative engines, language mechanisms, limitations, and originality suggestions based on the methodology and sentence pattern references. Sentence-by-sentence annotation is only produced when explicitly requested.

Does it copy plots or sentences from reference texts?

No, reference texts only supply abstract mechanisms like pacing, information ordering, and narrative distance. The Skill checks surface and deep originality distance and regenerates characters, causal chains, objects, numbers, and endings independently.

What are the limitations for stories about real people?

For real people it only uses user-provided or reliably sourced facts and never invents private behavior, motives, medical details, finances, or dialogue. When material is insufficient, it switches to explicitly fictional characters instead.

When should I not use this writing style?

Avoid it for general polishing, generic WeChat articles, fact-checking, financial bookkeeping, translation, or warm uplifting fiction. It is designed specifically for restrained, number-driven relationship stories, not general-purpose writing tasks.
