What it does
Narrative Structure is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill for the story-architect and narrator agents covering documentary narrative structure. Provides 3-act structure, emotion curves, scene arrangement, and narrative patterns by documentary type. Use for 'treatment,' 'narrative structure,' '3-act,' 'emotion curve,' and similar topics.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Narrative structure
- Tasks that involve Text to speech and voice
Example prompts
- “treatment,”
- “narrative structure,”
- “3-act,”
- “/narrative-structure”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Narrative Structure loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 531 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Narrative Structure — Documentary Narrative Structure Methodology
Specialized narrative knowledge used by the story-architect and narrator agents when designing treatments and narration.
Why Documentaries Need Narrative
Listing facts makes a report. Layering facts with narrative structure makes a documentary. What keeps the audience watching to the end is not information, but the curiosity of "what happens next?"
5 Documentary Narrative Types
1. Investigative
Mystery/Question -> Clue gathering -> Obstacle -> Breakthrough -> Truth discovery- Core Device: The feeling that the audience is tracking the truth alongside the journalist/detective
- Narration Tone: "We discovered...", "Here, an unexpected fact emerged"
- Risk: A weak conclusion leads to "So what?" — a powerful discovery is needed
- Examples: Netflix's Making a Murderer, Narcos
2. Character-Driven
Character introduction -> Conflict/Challenge -> Trial -> Change/Growth -> Present- Core Device: Emotional investment in the character
- Narration Tone: Resonating with the character's emotions while maintaining objective distance
- Risk: Excessive heroization — showing flaws makes them three-dimensional
- Examples: I Am Number Four, biographical documentaries
3. Observational
Entering the situation -> Daily observation -> Pattern discovery -> Conflict escalation -> Resolution/Unresolved- Core Device: The feeling that the camera transparently captures reality
- Narration: Minimal (or none) — let the footage speak
- Risk: Can become boring — editing rhythm is key
- Examples: Observational documentaries
4. Essay / Thesis
Thesis presented -> Evidence 1 -> Evidence 2 -> Counterargument -> Rebuttal -> Conclusion- Core Device: Strong argument and reasoning
- Narration Tone: Intellectual and persuasive, sometimes provocative
- Risk: Can become biased propaganda — treat counterarguments fairly
- Examples: Michael Moore documentaries, An Inconvenient Truth
5. Historical / Archival
Present situation -> Return to the past -> Historical development -> Turning point -> Return to present -> Meaning assigned- Core Device: Cross-editing between archival materials and the present
- Narration Tone: Epic, sometimes grand
- Risk: Can become textbook-like — convey history through characters
- Examples: Ken Burns documentaries, I Am Not Your Negro
Detailed 3-Act Structure Design
Based on a 30-Minute Documentary
| Act | Time | Purpose | Components |
|---|---|---|---|
| Act 1 | 0-8 min | World entry + Question posed | Hook (2 min) -> Topic introduction -> Core question |
| Act 2 | 8-23 min | Exploration + Increasing complexity | 3-4 scenes, twist, emotional climax |
| Act 3 | 23-30 min | Conclusion + Resonance | Answer (or open ending), emotional landing |
Emotion Curve Design
Emotional Intensity
^
| /\ /\
| / \ / \
| / \ / \
|--/ \/ \--
+---------------------------------> Time
Hook Act 1 Act 2 Early Act 2 Late Act 3
(Shock) (Exploration) (Deepening) (Climax) (Landing)Show full SKILL.md (241 more words)Show less
Emotion Curve Rules
- The hook must be emotional: Scenes over statistics, emotions over logic
- Valley between Acts 1 and 2: Intentionally lower emotions to heighten the Act 2 climax
- Act 2 climax is the highest point: Place the most intense interview/material/scene here
- Act 3 is the landing: A gentle afterglow, not a sharp descent
Scene Arrangement Strategy
Scene Types
| Type | Description | Usage Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Information Scene | Data, expert interviews, explanation | 30-40% |
| Emotional Scene | Firsthand stories, emotional moments | 20-30% |
| Observation Scene | Field footage, daily observation | 15-25% |
| Transition Scene | Location change, time passage, topic shift | 10-15% |
| Impact Scene | Twist, new discovery, contrast | 5-10% |
Scene Arrangement Principles
- Tension-Release Alternation: Place lighter scenes after heavy ones
- Specific -> Abstract -> Specific: Case -> Insight -> Another case
- Geographic/Temporal Flow: Natural movement paths
- Parallel Structure: Alternate between two stories, converging at intersection points
Narration Writing Rules
Text-Visual Relationship
| Relationship | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Complement | Narration adds information not in the visuals | Context explanation, historical background |
| Counterpoint | Narration and visuals tell different stories | Irony, critique |
| Silence | Visuals only, no narration | Emotional moments, observation |
| Explanation | Narration directly explains visuals | Avoid — "Don't say what is shown" |
Narration DO/DON'T
| DO | DON'T |
|---|---|
| Provide context not visible on screen | Explain what is visible on screen ("What you see here is...") |
| Short sentences, conversational tone | Academic paper style |
| Maintain tension by posing questions | Explain everything and draw conclusions |
| Leave emotional space | Think for the audience |
| Describe specific scenes/characters | Abstract generalizations |
