Genre Craft

Overview

Genre-specific structural packs: the codified craft each genre expects, as checkable rules, ledgers, and audits. Packs cover mystery (fair play + clue ledger), romance (beats + HEA contract), thriller (ticking clock, power imbalance, set pieces), horror (dread/terror ordering, monster rules), MG/YA (category constraints), science fiction (load-bearing speculative elements), and serial/episodic structure. Use at story-init (pick the pack, set the constraints) and in revision (run the pack's audit).

Prerequisites

A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill) with its genre recorded in story.md. A plot structure (plot-structure) should exist or be in progress.
