name: WriteStory
pack-id: pai-writestory-v1.0.0
version: 1.0.0
author: danielmiessler
description: Constructs fiction across seven simultaneous narrative layers (Meaning, Character Change, Plot, Mystery, World, Relationships, Prose) powered by Will Storr's Science of Storytelling, Pressfield's structure framework (Concept/Hook/Clothesline/Theme-as-question/Villain/Gift), and Mark Forsyth's Elements of Eloquence for rhetorical figures. Character arcs follow Storr's sacred flaw → crisis → transformation model. Anti-cliche system bans generic AI patterns. Story Bible is PRD-based — maps all 7 layers from first scene to final beat. Scales from short story to multi-book series. Aesthetic is configurable per project (Adams, Tolkien, sparse sci-fi, etc.). Five workflows: Interview (extract story ideas), BuildBible (full layered plan), Explore (brainstorm/what-if), WriteChapter (prose with rhetorical devices), Revise (edit/polish/rewrite).
