In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review individual beats, create a draft 15-beat outline, validate the story structure, and identify missing setup material.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

screenwriting-beats scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

generate — AI 生成 Beat 表

前置条件

生成 beat 表必须基于已有的:

  1. wiki/meta/genre.md — 确定类型引擎(必须存在)
  2. wiki/meta/logline.md — 确定故事前提(必须存在)
  3. wiki/meta/theme.md — 确定主题(建议存在)
  4. wiki/characters/ — 确定角色表(必须至少有 hero)

如果这些前置内容不存在,提示用户先完成 Stage 1 和 Stage 2:

⚠️ 生成 beat 表需要先完成:
  - [ ] Meta 定位 (genre + logline + theme)  → /screenwriting-reimagine 或手动创建
  - [ ] 角色设计 (至少 hero)                 → /screenwriting-character new

生成流程

  1. 读取 genre → 查 references/genre-constraints.md 获取该类型的 beat 约束
  2. 读取角色表 → 基于角色 wants/needs/arc 分配角色到各 beat
  3. 生成 15 beat 内容:
    • content: 具体事件/情节(非抽象结构说明)
    • emotion: 情绪走向
    • conflict: 冲突描述
    • value_shift: 价值从X到Y
    • characters_involved: 涉及角色名
  4. 校验类型承诺(见下方 validate)
  5. 展示完整 beat 表给用户确认
  6. 确认后写入 wiki/beats/ + 更新 wiki/故事线.canvas

类型引擎驱动

每种 genre 的 beat 有特定功能要求(摘要):

Genre Beat 8 必须兑现 Beat 14 核心动作
屋里有怪物 被困+逃脱尝试 面对自身的"罪"
金羊毛 旅途新奇遭遇 归来时已变
如愿以偿 享受新能力的爽感 放弃魔法/接受原本
麻烦家伙 以弱敌强的博弈 普通人非凡意志
成长仪式 与变化的挣扎 接受新阶段
伙伴情 两人化学反应 重新合一/有意义分离
推理侦探 线索拼图快感 揭露真相+承受代价
傻瓜成功 非常规方式小胜 以"傻"方式最终获胜
被制度化 体制内生存游戏 留下/离开/改造
超级英雄 能力展示奇观 接受能力与诅咒共存

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
