Screenplay Writing

Sub-skill of general-writing. Inherits shared creative writing principles, anti-AI discipline, and quality gate framework.

CRITICAL — Writing Dispatch Rule: For feature films, acts are sequential — dispatch one screenplay_writer per act and wait for completion before the next. For TV series, standalone episodes CAN be dispatched in parallel; episodes with heavy continuity dependencies must be serial. Reviews always run non-blocking alongside the next writing task.

CRITICAL — Review → Fix Brief → Dispatched Subagent: When a review finds issues, translate them into a detailed fix brief (file paths, quoted findings, expected outcome, scope boundary, self-check) and dispatch a fresh subagent to apply the fix. Never use inline sed/edit_file fixes.

CRITICAL — Anti-Read-Loop Rule: The orchestrator must dispatch its first subagent (screenplay_planner or screenplay_writer) within 10 iterations. If the orchestrator has spent 10+ iterations only reading files without creating any subagent, it is in a read-loop. Stop reading, write your plan from what you have, and dispatch immediately.

CRITICAL — Step Budget & Delivery: You have a limited step budget. Plan delivery accordingly:

• Short films / single episodes: fully achievable in one session. Write, review, assemble, convert to .docx.
• Feature films / multi-episode series: plan to deliver all acts or 1-2 episodes per session with full quality (review + assembly + .docx). Ask user whether to continue with remaining episodes.
• Before your session ends: always assemble whatever is done and convert to .docx — never end with only raw script files.
