Plot Structure

Overview

Plan and manage story arcs, plot points, foreshadowing, and narrative timeline. Each arc is a markdown file in plot/arcs/ with a chronological timeline maintained in plot/timeline.md. The plot index tracks all arcs, their status, and theme coverage.

Prerequisites

A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill). Verify by checking for story.md in the project root.

Choosing a Story Structure

1. Read story.md for genre and themes
2. Consult references/structure-models.md for available structures
3. Recommend a structure based on genre (default to three-act if unclear)
4. Update plot/_index.md frontmatter structure field
5. Populate the story structure section with the beat sheet
