creative pipeline — skill reference

Driver: compatibility mirror for the native canonical package Arnold API version: 1.0 Supported modes: native

This mirror delegates to arnold_pipelines.megaplan.pipelines.creative. New runtime and discovery surfaces should import the canonical package directly.

Purpose

Form-aware creative-writing pipeline. Accepts a --form (validated against megaplan.forms.available_form_ids()) and an optional --primary-criterion, then produces a finished creative artifact via a single prep→execute→critique →revise→finalize pass.

Native Order

prep (form-aware) → execute_creative → critique_creative → revise_creative → finalize

• prep — form-aware prep; threads form and primary_criterion into stage state.
• execute_creative — primary creative generation stage.
• critique_creative — evaluates the draft against the form's criteria and primary_criterion.
• revise_creative — applies critique feedback to produce the final draft.
• finalize — wraps and emits the finished artifact; returns next='halt'.

Verdict semantics

The creative pipeline is single-pass — there is no gate loop. Routing is strictly linear:

Robustness levels

The creative pipeline does not implement robustness levels. Depth is fixed (single pass per stage).

Forms

The --form flag selects a registered form from megaplan/forms/. Default form: joke. Available forms are returned by megaplan.forms.available_form_ids().

Form-specific prompt keys follow the pattern <key>:joke for the joke form; non-joke forms use the generic creative keys with the form id passed through stage params.

Prompt keys

Prompt files live under megaplan/pipelines/creative/prompts/.
