Scene Draft Skill

Draft a single scene in Watcher voice with clear beats, sensory grounding, conflict, turn, and a strong exit hook.

Usage

/project:skills:scene-draft {scene_card}

Process

Inputs

• Required: scene_card
• Optional: voice_anchor (default: "watcher_voice_anchor"), target_word_count

Steps

1. BEFORE DRAFTING: Load and verify against World Rules hard constraints.
2. Start with sensory grounding + immediate stakes.
3. Establish POV desire in the first 10% of scene.
4. Escalate through proximity, power, or urgency.
5. DURING DRAFTING: Enforce POV character's voice profile (sentence rhythm, vocabulary, what they notice).
6. Insert micro-exposition only when triggered by action/object/memory.
7. Execute the turn: reversal, discovery, decision, or interruption.
8. End on propulsion: a threat, question, consequence, or uneasy relief.
9. AFTER DRAFTING: Verify against anti-AI checklist.

Output Format

• Drafted scene
• Beat list (1 line each): entry / escalation / turn / exit

Quality Checks

• No words from forbidden vocabulary list.
• Sentence lengths vary (5-25 words, no patterns).
• At least 2 non-visual sensory details present (sound, texture, light, temperature, smell).
• No three consecutive sentences with same structure.
• Specific details, not generic descriptors.
• Turn changes the state of the story.
• Exit hook forces movement to next scene.
