Short Fiction Scaffolder

Create a sustainable project skeleton for a new Chinese commercial short story. Initialize structure only: do not invent characters, plot, manuscript prose, or promotional copy, and do not treat scaffolding permission as authorization for Git or GitHub operations.

Collect Inputs

Obtain two required inputs before starting:

• output path
• work title

The following inputs are optional. Do not ask for them when omitted unless the user says they affect the current initialization:

• pen name
• genre
• target length or length range
• PNG cover path

Extract these values from the user's natural-language request, then call the deterministic script. Do not require the user to restate their request as command-line arguments.
