Genre anatomy from John Truby's The Anatomy of Genres (类型解剖 / 类型节拍 / 混合类型 / 超越类型) — genres as beat systems with a life philosophy underneath; three rules (hit every beat of your genre, mix three or four genres, transcend the primary genre), the ladder and families of twelve genres (Horror 恐怖, Action 动作, Myth 神话, Memoir and Coming-of-Age 回忆录与成长, Science Fiction 科幻, Crime 犯罪, Comedy 喜剧, Western 西部, Gangster 黑帮, Fantasy 奇幻, Detective and Thriller 侦探与惊悚, Love 爱情), each with its…

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

# 类型解剖(Genre Anatomy)

> **输出语言=提问语言**;术语一律锚回原词,见 [sw-workflow/terms.md](../sw-workflow/terms.md) 第九节,不自创译名。类型名与节拍名保留英文,首次出现括注中文。

本 skill 提炼自约翰·特鲁比《The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works》(2022)。它与同作者的 `sw-truby-anatomy`(七大关键步骤、22 步骤)是一对:那一个管故事的骨架,这一个管**类型层**,即某个类型要求在骨架上再打到哪些拍、主角对手世界该长什么样、几个类型怎么混、怎么超出类型本身。节拍全表、技巧、子节拍组见 [reference.md](reference.md),逐拍作品拆解见 [reference-cases.md](reference-cases.md)。

## 按任务读哪几节(不要通读)

| 任务 | 读 | 跳过 |
|---|---|---|
| 定主类型、判断"我其实在写哪个类型" | 一、二、十七 | 三到十四 |
| 写某个类型,要它的节拍和硬规则 | 一之三(总表)+对应的那一节,全表转 reference.md | 其余类型节 |
| 混合两到四个类型 | 一之一(Rule 2)、十五,再读涉及的类型节 | 十六 |
| 稿子"合格但平庸",要出头 | 十六,再读对应类型节的"超越"一行 | 十五 |
| 诊断一份已有的类型片稿 | 十七,再读对应类型节的"硬规则" | 一、二 |
| 剧集项目 | 二之四、八(季级道德序列)、十一(凡人史诗) | 其余按需 |

---

## 一、类型是什么

### 1. 三条规则(Rules of Play)

- **Rule 1 类型是买卖的单位,且是节拍系统**。每个主要类型有十五到二十个专属节拍(genre beats),"these plot beats have more to do with the success of a story than any other element by far"。缺一拍,核心观众会察觉(Love 缺 first dance)。trope(单个人物、装置、台词)只是"撒在上面的糖屑",节拍序列才是蛋糕。自检:删掉所有 trope,情节序列还成立吗。

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills/sw-genre-anatomy@sha256:055245ddb7cf27a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.51115f1, 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.
