What it does

Novel Pacing is an agent skill from uu201/character-arc. 网文节奏与结构工程。当用户需要设计开篇、规划章节结构、编排高潮、设置断章钩子、控制字数节奏时触发。覆盖黄金三章/黄金一章模板、30+种断章钩子技法、多幕式结构、高潮编排与密度控制。

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/climax-orchestration.md`, `references/golden-opening.md` and `references/hook-techniques.md`). Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: CharacterArc(弧光) AI 小说创作应用,集项目设定、角色关系、剧情大纲、章节写作与多模型 AI 协作于一体. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction

Example prompts

  • “/novel-pacing”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 悬念钩(反常):不合理现象/反常行为/诡异事件
  2. 情绪钩(愤怒/不公):主角被欺压/不公待遇/激发愤怒
  3. 利益钩(贪婪/金手指):获得宝物/系统激活/奇遇降临
  4. 反差钩(猎奇/反套路):打破常规/意外反转/认知颠覆

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 292f947. 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.

  • Compatibility

    opencode

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Novel Pacing loads about 624 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~624
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

节奏与结构工程

Purpose

提供网文节奏控制的完整方法论,从开篇300字抓住读者到完本节奏收束,确保读者从第一句到最后一章都保持阅读欲望。

When to Use

  • 用户需要设计或优化开篇
  • 用户需要规划章节结构与断章点
  • 用户需要编排高潮与爽点节奏
  • 用户需要控制字数与信息密度
  • 用户遇到节奏拖沓/过快问题

Instructions

开篇设计:3秒定输赢

当前网文读者的耐心极度有限,受短视频/短剧影响,开篇300字必须抓住读者。

开篇公式:强冲突 + 小钩子 + 大钩子 + 卡点钩子

黄金三章核心任务:

  • 第一章:认识主角 → 建立共情 → 抛出核心矛盾
  • 第二章:深化矛盾 → 展现金手指/特色 → 小爽点
  • 第三章:定调子 → 显亮点 → 大钩子/断章

四种钩子类型:

  1. 悬念钩(反常):不合理现象/反常行为/诡异事件
  2. 情绪钩(愤怒/不公):主角被欺压/不公待遇/激发愤怒
  3. 利益钩(贪婪/金手指):获得宝物/系统激活/奇遇降临
  4. 反差钩(猎奇/反套路):打破常规/意外反转/认知颠覆
断章钩子技法(30+种)
悬念类
  1. 关键信息即将揭露时断章
  2. 意外人物出现时断章
  3. 真相即将浮出水面时断章
  4. 危机即将爆发时断章
  5. 秘密即将被发现时断章
危机类
  1. 生死关头断章
  2. 强敌降临断章
  3. 陷阱触发断章
  4. 计划失败断章
  5. 背叛发生断章
反转类
  1. 身份即将揭露断章
  2. 真相反转断章
  3. 敌友转换断章
  4. 局势逆转断章
  5. 意外变故断章
期待类
  1. 即将突破断章
  2. 宝物即将到手断章

高潮编排

高潮密度控制:

  • 小高潮:每2-3章一个
  • 中高潮:每8-10章一个
  • 大高潮:每卷(30-50章)一个
  • 终极高潮:全书一个

高潮结构:

  1. 铺垫蓄力(40%):矛盾积累、压力递增
  2. 爆发点(20%):冲突达到顶点
  3. 高潮对决(25%):正面对决/真相揭露
  4. 余波收束(15%):结果、影响、新平衡
字数节奏曲线
阶段字数范围节奏特征
开篇期1-10章快节奏、高密度、强钩子
发展期11-50章中速推进、信息展开、关系建立
中盘期51-150章张弛有度、多条线交织、高潮迭起
后期151-300章加速推进、收线合拢、高潮密集
终局300+章全面爆发、终极对决、收束完本
多幕式结构

三幕式(短篇/卷):

  • 第一幕:设定与触发(25%)
  • 第二幕:对抗与成长(50%)
  • 第三幕:决战与解决(25%)

五幕式(长篇):

  • 第一幕:世界与主角介绍
  • 第二幕:冲突升级
  • 第三幕:中点转折
