Story Planning

Use this for pre-page decisions: what the story wants, what options exist, and how chosen direction becomes outline structure. Do not use it for production prose or critique.

Load only the resource needed:

  • `resources/creative-direction.md` — author-facing direction and option synthesis.
  • `resources/brainstorming.md` — exploratory capture and source tagging.
  • `resources/story-architecture.md` — arc, chapter, scene, and beat structure.
