Story Cog

Use this skill for collaborative storytelling: idea generation, outlining, scene work, character development, worldbuilding, and revision.

Start by clarifying

• Format: short story, novel, screenplay, fan fiction, or world bible.
• Genre, tone, and audience.
• Scope: concept, outline, scene, full draft, or revision pass.
• Constraints such as length, point of view, structure, or canon.

What to optimize for

• Characters who want something specific.
• Conflict that escalates naturally.
• Scenes that change the situation.
• A voice and level of detail that fit the project.

Good outputs

• Premise refinement.
• Plot and chapter outlines.
• Character arcs and relationships.
• Scene drafts and revision notes.
