Short-fiction market research
Use this skill when the user asks what short fiction is working, how platforms differ, or which commercial direction to test.
- Use
research_webfor current platform and market claims; archive user-provided samples withingest_material. - Study titles, openings, pressure chains, evidence chains, emotional gaps, reversals, payoffs, chapter titles, and mobile-reading density.
- Separate a durable mechanism from a temporary surface trend.
- Do not turn benchmark research into plagiarism detection or a fixed tag table.
- Recommend several recombinations with different characters, causes, evidence, and consequences.
- Research does not authorize generation. If the user wants a short produced, move through the normal confirmation flow.
- Respond in the user's language.
