AI-generated overview

Guides pre-writing story planning: creative direction, brainstorming, outlining and story architecture.

What it does
This skill supports decisions made before prose is written. It helps synthesize author-facing creative direction, capture exploratory brainstorming with source tagging, and turn a chosen direction into outline structure covering arcs, chapters, scenes and beats. It routes the agent to the specific resource file needed for each planning task.
When to use it
Use it when deciding what should happen in a story or how a story should be structured. It fits outlining, arc design, chapter and scene planning, worldbuilding, character development and continuity timelines. It is not intended for drafting production prose or for critique.
Requirements
No scripts or tools are required; it is an instructions-only skill. It relies on the bundled resource markdown files under resources/, which the agent loads selectively.

Story Planning

Use this for pre-page decisions: what the story wants, what options exist, and how chosen direction becomes outline structure. Do not use it for production prose or critique.

Load only the resource needed:

  • resources/creative-direction.md — author-facing direction and option synthesis.
  • resources/brainstorming.md — exploratory capture and source tagging.
  • resources/story-architecture.md — arc, chapter, scene, and beat structure.
