When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to structure a new book or story by generating a chapter-by-chapter outline. This is useful for planning the narrative flow, identifying key plot points, and organizing content for fiction or non-fiction works.

How this skill works (step-by-step workflow)

1. User provides a book concept, including genre, main themes, and a brief summary.
2. The skill analyzes the input and generates a logical progression of chapters.
3. For each chapter, it suggests a title, a brief summary of its content, and key plot points or information to be covered.
4. The output is formatted as a JSON object, making it easy to integrate into other writing tools or databases.
