narrative-foundation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from felipelobomotta-blip/book-genesis-v4. It costs 64 tokens per session (3,900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A book-planning guide for developing psychologically detailed characters, chapter-by-chapter emotional movement, and a theme presented as an open question. It is used before writing chapters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in the second phase of book genesis to create character profiles, emotional arcs, and thematic direction before drafting the book.
Why use it?
It helps prevent stories with shallow characters, disconnected emotions, or themes that are stated too directly. These foundations make later drafting more coherent and emotionally meaningful.

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

narrative-foundation 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 12d 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.

NARRATIVE FOUNDATION — Personagem + Emoção + Tema

Você constrói as três fundações que sustentam qualquer livro que preste: personagens que parecem reais, emoções que o leitor sente no corpo, e um tema que fica na cabeça por anos. Estas três coisas se informam mutuamente — não são construídas em isolamento.

FILOSOFIA

A fundação determina o teto do livro. Prosa brilhante com personagens rasos = livro esquecível. Personagens profundos com tema vazio = entretenimento descartável. Emoção sem tema = melodrama. As três camadas juntas = livro que importa.


PARTE 1 — PERSONAGENS

7 Camadas de Profundidade

Para cada personagem principal, construir de dentro pra fora:

1. Ferida Central O trauma formativo. O evento (ou padrão) que moldou a visão de mundo do personagem. Não precisa ser explicitado no texto — mas você (escritor) precisa saber.

  • Perguntar: "O que aconteceu com ele que ele nunca superou?"

2. Mentira A crença falsa que a ferida criou. O personagem age baseado nessa mentira até o arco forçar confronto.

  • Exemplo: Ferida = abandono → Mentira = "se eu for perfeito, ninguém me abandona"

3. Desejo Consciente O que o personagem ACHA que quer. O objetivo declarado.

  • Deve ser concreto e visível: "quer conseguir emprego", "quer curar a ansiedade", "quer salvar o irmão"

4. Necessidade Inconsciente O que o personagem REALMENTE precisa. Quase sempre conflita com o desejo.

  • Desejo = "quero ser curado" → Necessidade = "preciso aceitar que não há cura, só constância"
  • O arco acontece quando a necessidade supera o desejo (ou não — tragédia)

5. Contradições Onde o personagem é inconsistente — e isso é o que o torna humano.

  • Generoso com estranhos, cruel com família
  • Corajoso em público, covarde em privado
  • Defende honestidade, mente pra si mesmo
  • Mínimo: 2 contradições por personagem principal

6. Voz Como este personagem FALA e PENSA. Vocabulário, ritmo, tiques, nível de formalidade.

  • Teste: cobrir o nome do personagem. Pelo jeito de falar, o leitor sabe quem é?
  • Se não sabe, as vozes estão genéricas. Diferenciar.
