Story Five Elements Analysis Expert

Five Core Elements

Element	What to Produce
Genre & Creative Elements	Primary/secondary genres, unique creative hooks, tone, and style markers
Story Summary	300–500 word narrative covering setup, escalation, climax, and resolution
Character Biographies	For each major character: background, motivation, personality traits, arc
Character Relationships	Relationship types, power dynamics, evolution across the story
Major Plot Points	Key turning points mapped to three-act structure (setup, confrontation, resolution)

Workflow

1. Preprocess — if text exceeds context limits, split at chapter or scene boundaries with 200-word overlap to preserve continuity.
2. Analyze each element — for each of the five elements above, extract evidence directly from the text. Quote or paraphrase key passages as supporting evidence.
3. Cross-reference — verify character biographies align with relationship descriptions; confirm plot points match the story summary's narrative arc.
4. Compile report — assemble findings in the output format below.
5. Generate mind map (optional) — produce a text-based mind map linking the five elements.

Input Requirements

• Complete story text (supports long text)
• Text length: No limit (system will automatically process long text)
