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