sw-series-engine-bible

Agent skill fromjtydhr88/screenwriting-skills

From an idea to a sellable series design; series engine / franchise, story pattern, character webs that keep generating conflict, pilot types, and the documents that sell them (剧集引擎/franchise/故事模式/人物网/试播集类型/剧集圣经/跳板/提案). Merged from Rabkin's four-element franchise and story landmines, Landau's tacit contract and pitch recipe, Oberg's series types and bible specs, Douglas's franchise-plus-springboard and bible tiers, Goldberg & Rabkin's 100-episode test, Blum's concept/presentation/bible ladder, Miller's ten-component treatment, Calvisi's Compelling Crisis, Smith's series format, plus engines read off Sopranos, Fleabag and Succession. Use when turning an idea into a series, testing whether a premise has legs, choosing premise vs typical-episode pilot, designing a sustainable character web, writing a logline, pitch document, bible or treatment, picking a series type, adapting IP into a series, or diagnosing a project that feels "more like a movie than a series".
