Logline Premise

Use this skill when the story engine exists but needs compression and clarity.

Workflow

1. Lock protagonist, goal, obstacle, and stakes.
2. Check whether the current sentence is a real story engine or only a polished concept shell.
3. Remove abstract filler.
4. Return a one-line logline and a short premise.

Output Contract

• logline: one sentence that carries protagonist, pressure, stakes, and motion.
• premise: a compact paragraph that makes the story engine legible for development.
• Prefer concrete nouns and active verbs.
• If the current idea is still a false logline, rewrite the engine before polishing the sentence.

Posture-Adaptive Guidance

When certainty = lost: Ask: "Who is most trapped by this situation — and what do they want out of it that they can't have?" One character under pressure is the engine. Do not ask about genre or structure yet.

When source = discover: Do not optimise the sentence first. Surface the engine: "What force is pushing this character toward a decision they cannot avoid?" Once the engine is clear, compression follows naturally.

When source = construct: Apply the full workflow: protagonist → goal → obstacle → stakes. Check whether the current sentence is a real story engine or a polished concept shell. Remove abstract filler.

When certainty = exploring: Offer two logline versions: one that foregrounds external pressure, one that foregrounds internal contradiction. State what each version implies about the story's engine.

When focus = character: The most useful logline question here is: "What does this character believe about themselves that the story will disprove?" Protagonist psychology is the engine, not the plot.
