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", "act structure", "story arc", "plot outline", or wants to plan and manage the narrative structure of a story.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Plot Structure ## Overview Plan and manage story arcs, plot points, foreshadowing, and narrative timeline. Each arc is a markdown file in `plot/arcs/` with a chronological timeline maintained in `plot/timeline.md`. The plot index tracks all arcs, their status, and theme coverage. ## Prerequisites A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill). Verify by checking for `story.md` in the project root. ## Choosing a Story Structure 1. Read `story.md` for genre and themes 2. Consult `references/structure-models.md` for available structures 3. Recommend a structure based on genre (default to three-act if unclear) 4. Update `plot/_index.md` frontmatter `structure` field 5. Populate the story structure section with the beat sheet ## Creating an Arc 1. Read `story.md` for themes 2. Read `plot/_index.md` for existing arcs 3. Read `characters/_index.md` to understand available characters 4. Ask for: - Arc name - Type (main, subplot, character, thematic) - Which characters are involved - Which themes it serves 5. Build the arc through conversation: setup, escalations, climax, resolution 6. Write the file using `references/arc-template.md` …

How to install
mdr add bs779517/story-skills/plot-structure@sha256:158a1e955ee9a100The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260212.9c72eb5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
