What problem does it solve? Planning a long-form Chinese serial novel often produces vague story summaries or chapter lists that cannot drive actual writing. This Skill turns a creative brief, character profiles, and worldbuilding into an executable outline with per-chapter conflict, reversal, hook, and foreshadowing payoff tracking. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Volume and Arc Structuring: Splits the story into volumes or phases using structures like suspense escalation, emotional push-pull, cultivation growth, survival chains, or ensemble threads. - Chapter-Level Outline Tables: Produces per-chapter rows covering entry state, core event, conflict, reversal, ending hook, characters, foreshadowing setup/payoff, and continuity notes. - Genre-Specific Guidance: Loads dedicated references for suspense, romance, xuanhuan, urban, sci-fi, historical, wuxia, horror, and adventure genres to enforce chapter payoff and avoid genre pitfalls. - Use Case: A writer with a 200-chapter xuanhuan brief asks for a full outline; the Skill outputs volume arcs plus a chapter table where every chapter changes story state, flags chapters needing scene cards, and schedules foreshadowing payoffs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build a chapter-by-chapter outline for your Chinese novel from your creative brief, character profiles, target chapter count, and genre, including hooks and foreshadowing payoff positions.
