| description | Gather branch context, rule constraints, relationship state, unresolved threads, and carry-over memory into a machine-readable imitation constraint pack before draft generation. |
Imitation Constraint Pack
Use this skill before any imitation draft is generated.
Inputs
- Source imitation plan
- Branch context / state summary
- Optional mapping pack
- Optional previous carry-over state
scene_beats (optional): list of scene beat objects from storyboard.md. Each beat has: index, title, location, pov, lens_type, rhythm_tag, info_reveal, summary. When provided, use these beats to structure the draft chapter. When absent, fall back to source-chapter-skeleton extraction.
Note: If scene_beats is empty or absent, use source chapter skeleton as before.
Outputs
- Hard constraints
- Soft constraints
- Forbidden transformations
- Continuity memory pack
Rules
- Prefer evidence-backed constraints over speculative guidance.
- Keep world-rule and relationship constraints explicit.
- Surface continuity debt rather than hiding it.
