danjdewhurst/story-skillsSkill
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plot arc", "story structure", "add a plot point", "story timeline", "track foreshadowing", "pacing", "sagging middle", "act structure", "story arc", "plot outline", "snowflake method", or wants to plan and manage the narrative structure of a story. It owns book-level pacing; NOT for the craft of scene outcomes or chapter hooks, which this skill only plans in the outline (use scene-craft), or a pacing check as a revision pass (use revision-continuity).
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 332 stars are split between them (about 33 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 64/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 4b8019d7fa08, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
