SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing Zhihu-style short fiction requires a very specific structure: a strong opening hook, first-person emotional narration, evidence buildup, and a reversal that reframes the story. This Skill enforces those genre conventions so AI-generated outlines and chapter plans consistently meet reader expectations for the format.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Genre Card Routing: Requires reading the parent GENRE_ROUTE_STANDARD.md and outputting a genre card before any outline, character, or setting generation.
  • Outline Generation Rules: Enforces a three-act structure (anomaly, evidence, truth reversal), a hook within the first 200 words, and small concrete foreshadowing details like photos, bills, or chat records.
  • Chapter Outline Focus: Each section must include misdirection, pressure building, evidence, reversal, judgment, or aftertaste, with at least one information gap per section and a chapter-end hook.
  • Use Case: A web fiction author wants to draft a first-person revenge story for Zhihu. The Skill produces a genre card, then a three-act outline with concrete foreshadowing items and chapter hooks, without generating any prose.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Zhihu-style short story outline with AI?

Start by producing a genre card after reading the parent GENRE_ROUTE_STANDARD.md, then generate the three-act outline: anomaly, evidence buildup, and truth reversal. The Skill enforces a hook within the first 200 words and concrete foreshadowing details.

What structure works for first-person reversal short stories?

Use a three-act structure: present an abnormal fact or conflict, advance evidence under first-person narration, then deliver a reversal that changes the reader's understanding. End with judgment, release, or lingering emotion rather than long explanation.

Can this Skill generate the actual story prose?

No. This Skill only serves the AI outline system, covering genre cards, master outlines, chapter outlines, characters, and settings. It explicitly does not handle prose generation in the main writing area.

What makes a good chapter hook in short web fiction?

Effective chapter hooks introduce new evidence, reverse the meaning of an earlier statement, reveal the protagonist's real plan, or show the opponent breaking down. Each section should also leave at least one information gap that keeps readers going.

Which other skills does the Zhihu short story outline link to?

It links to DagangSkill for master outlines, ZhanggangSkill for chapter outlines, JueseSkill/character-design for characters, and SheDingSkill/foreshadowing-suspense for foreshadowing setup.
