Screenwriting Story Craft

Bottom-Layer Reasoning

Apply the think-one-step-further mechanism as a lightweight check:

• Confirm this skill is solving the user's real intent, not only the surface request.
• Make the output immediately usable and name any unavoidable next action.
• Extract the reusable structure and, when aligned, propagate it to adjacent prompts, skills, checklists, or workflows.
• Add one guardrail for the most likely next failure while preserving this skill's primary workflow.

Purpose

This skill owns local writing execution: one logline, micro-story, beat chain, scene, dialogue pass, or bounded rewrite. It does not own a full film/series project architecture. For 全剧骨架、故事圣经、分集接力、小说改短剧、全剧反转、时间/知识台账 or project-wide restructuring, start with $develop-screenplay-project and return here with its scene handoff package.

Use this skill to make visual ideas narratively sharp before writing shots or prompts. A good AI video idea should not only look cool; it should contain a visible desire, obstacle, choice, consequence, and change.

For video prompts, use video-structure-design first when the user needs duration, hook, retention, segment order, or platform structure. Then use this skill for character/conflict/drama, and use cinematic-audiovisual-language for shot grammar.
