Scene Writer

Inputs

The user provides:

Story background: The broader narrative context (world, characters, prior events).
Scene outline/idea: What this specific scene should accomplish — its purpose, characters involved, tone.
Scene priorities (optional): What different aspects of style or parts of of prose should weigh most in the scene - action, dialogue, humor, etc.
Wordcount: Target length for the finished scene.

Workflow

Each step's reference file must only be read AFTER the previous step's output has been completed. Do NOT batch-read reference files. Reading a step's reference file counts as beginning that step.

Step 1: Pre-Setup

Read references/pre-setup.md.

Using the story background and scene outline, follow the reference file's instructions to generate the raw material for this scene.

Step 2: Condense to Working Document

Condense the output of Step 1 to under 300 words. This is your scene's working inventory — a compact reference of elements available to draw from as you write.

Write this condensed material to a new file using the assets/working-doc.md template.

Step 3: Setup

Read references/setup.md.

Follow the reference file's instructions to write the setup phase of the scene, drawing from your working document.

Step 4: Append Setup & Spend Details

Append the prose you wrote in Step 3 to your working-doc.md file.

Then, in the working document's inventory section, remove any textural details you used in the setup.

Step 5: Conflict

Read references/conflict.md.

Follow the reference file's instructions to write the conflict phase of the scene, drawing from the remaining details in your working document.

Step 6: Append Conflict & Spend Details

Append the prose you wrote in Step 5 to your working-doc.md file.

Again, remove any textural details you used from the working document's inventory.

Step 7: Resolution

Read references/resolution.md.

Follow the reference file's instructions to write the resolution phase of the scene, drawing from the remaining details in your working document.

Step 8: Append Resolution

Append the prose you wrote in Step 7 to your working-doc.md file. Remove any remaining textural details from the working document's inventory. The inventory should now be empty.

Step 9: Write to Scene Template

Copy the assets/scene-template.md template to a new file named [Storyname]-Scene-[X].md (where [Storyname] is derived from the story background and [X] is the scene number, provided by the user or inferred).

Write the scene prose into the Full Scene section. Combine the setup, conflict, and resolution into continuous text — remove the phase subheaders (Setup / Conflict / Resolution) so the prose reads as a single unbroken scene.

Step 10: Clean Up & Present

Delete the working document created in Step 2.

Present the finished scene file to the user:

[Storyname]-Scene-[X].md — the scene prose

Suggest running scene-review next if the user wants to revise the scene and produce a post-scene summary.
