narratological-algorithmic-lenses

Route creative work (scripts, narratives, stories, films, games) to appropriate analysis protocols. Triggers on requests involving script analysis, narrative breakdown, story feedback, creative work evaluation, structural diagnosis, algorithm extraction, or any variation of "analyze this [creative work]". Selects protocol based on user intent: triage (P1), structural diagnosis (P2), craft revision (P3), scholarly analysis (P4), market assessment (P5), mechanism extraction (P6), or comprehensive analysis (P7). Default to P3 (Craft) for revision-oriented requests.

Full analytical treatment protocol (P7) for major works requiring archival-quality documentation. Triggers on "full analysis", "comprehensive breakdown", "everything", "complete coverage", "teaching case study", "archival documentation". Produces all 8 core documents plus supplements. Activates all 9 analyst roles. Estimated time 8-12 hours per 100-page script. This is the complete script-analysis-dramaturgical skill activation.

Practical revision guidance protocol (P3) for working writers with structurally sound drafts needing deepening. DEFAULT protocol for revision requests. Triggers on "revision notes", "feedback", "how do I fix", "notes for rewrite", "polish pass", "dialogue notes", "character notes". Produces Coverage Report, Structural Analysis, Character Atlas, Diagnostic Report, and Revision Roadmap. Estimated time 4-5 hours per 100-page script.

Mechanism identification and algorithm extraction protocol (P6) for studying how narrative techniques work. Triggers on "how does this technique work", "extract the mechanism", "algorithm extraction", "formalize the approach", "what's the pattern", "study this showrunner's method". Produces Structural Analysis (mechanism-focused), Theoretical Correspondence, and Mechanism Extraction Report. Designed to feed the narratological-algorithms workflow. Estimated time 4-6 hours per work.

Commercial viability assessment protocol (P5) for creative work. Triggers on "will this sell", "commercial potential", "market assessment", "audience", "budget", "castability", "production feasibility", "pitch deck", "packaging". Produces Coverage Report (market-focused), Market Positioning Analysis, Comparable Titles Analysis, and Production Feasibility Assessment. Uses PRODUCER as primary role. Estimated time 3-4 hours per 100-page script.

Academic-grade theoretical analysis protocol (P4) for scholarly output. Triggers on "academic analysis", "for a paper", "theoretical framework", "teaching material", "lecture prep", "peer review", "thesis chapter", "historical context". Produces Structural Analysis, Thematic Architecture, Theoretical Correspondence, and Diagnostic Report. Uses ACADEMIC, NARRATOLOGIST, ART_HIST as primary roles. Estimated time 6-8 hours per 100-page script.

Architecture diagnosis protocol (P2) for creative work requiring structural overhaul. Triggers on "structure", "architecture", "act breakdown", "what's broken structurally", "macro-level problems", "rewrite planning". Produces Coverage Report, Structural Analysis, and Diagnostic Report. Uses DRAMATURGIST and NARRATOLOGIST as primary roles. Estimated time 2-3 hours per 100-page script.

Rapid assessment protocol (P1) for creative work gatekeeping decisions. Triggers on "quick read", "worth pursuing", "should I read this", "pass or recommend", "first look", or high-volume evaluation contexts. Produces abbreviated coverage report with RECOMMEND/CONSIDER/PASS decision. Uses FIRST-READER and DRAMATURGIST roles only. Estimated time 30-60 minutes per 100-page script.

Comprehensive dramaturgical analysis of screenplays and scripts. Use when asked to analyze, break down, map, or provide feedback on a script. Triggers on requests involving beat mapping, act structure analysis, scene-by-scene breakdown, first-reader reports, production notes, or any comprehensive script coverage. Claude assumes combined roles of aesthete, dramaturgist, narratologist, art historian, cinephile, rhetorician, producer, academic, and first-reader.
