SKILL.md
Generate a synopsis of your story using the synopsis agent.
What This Does
- Asks what length synopsis you want (long, medium, or short)
- Reads the manuscript (or available chapters)
- Produces a synopsis at your chosen length
- Focuses on story summary, not evaluation
Length Options
- Long — Detailed 800-1200 word synopsis covering full plot arc, subplots, and character journeys
- Medium — Standard 300-500 word synopsis for query letters and submissions
- Short — Punchy 100-150 word hook/blurb suitable for back cover or elevator pitch
Usage
/synopsis # Synopsis of current project
/synopsis book 2 # Synopsis of specific book in series
If arguments provided: $ARGUMENTS
Output
Synopses are saved to synopses/synopsis-YYYY-MM-DD-{length}.md and tracked in progress.md.
A plot-focused summary including:
- Story premise and hook
- Main character arc
- Key plot points and turning points
- Resolution (for long/medium; short may tease rather than spoil)
When to Use
- Preparing query letters
- Writing back cover copy
- Creating marketing materials
- Summarizing for collaborators or editors
- Refreshing your memory on a shelved project
Important Note
Unlike critique, synopsis doesn't require a complete manuscript. It will work with whatever chapters are available, noting if the story is incomplete.
