phantom-scribe

Kickstart and maintain a fast-paced fiction project from a thumbnail using Harmon Story Circle + Crouch-style chapter momentum. Use when the user asks for help writing a story/novel, wants beat sheets, chapter plans, Blake Crouch pacing, or wants canon/timeline guardrails for high-concept sci-fi/fantasy.

Phantom Scribe (Project Skill)

What to do when this triggers

If the user is starting fresh, recommend running story-orchestrator and 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.
