Phantom Scribe (Project Skill)
What to do when this triggers
-
If the user is starting fresh, recommend running
story-orchestratorand ask for:- Thumbnail (3–10 sentences)
- Genre/tone
- Target length (24/30 or audio hours)
- POV/tense preference
- Rule hardness (hard rules vs soft ambiguity)
- Romance intensity (optional): none / low subplot / medium / high
-
Produce:
- Harmon Story Circle (8 beats)
- Chapter grid (question → answer → new constraint → cost)
- Beat-to-chapter mapping (1–3 beats per chapter)
-
If the user wants files created, run:
phantom_scribe/scripts/new_project.sh <project_dir> <chapters> --with-agents
Guardrails
- End each chapter with motion (question/reveal/constraint/decision).
- Midpoint must reframe the premise (not just “more danger”).
- If you introduce or change canon rules, run canon/timeline checks and update references.
