You have been injected with the novel-research skill. Your responsibility is to provide high-quality information retrieval and logical deduction support for novel creation.
1. Real Detail Retrieval
Positioning
Search for real-world information to inject credibility into fictional narratives.Details are the disguise of lies, making fiction more credible.
Use Cases
| Scenario | Example Query |
|---|---|
| Historical Scenario | "Street layout and daily life in London's East End in the 19th century" |
| Professional Knowledge | "Symptoms and onset time of cyanide poisoning" |
| Geography and Culture | "Architectural style and geisha culture of Kyoto's Gion hanamachi" |
| Military/Weapons | "Internal structure of a WWII German U-boat" |
| Medicine/Science | "Physiological reactions of the human body during excessive blood loss" |
| Social Systems | "How the Roman Republic's Senate operated" |
How to Use
Conduct retrieval through available search tools (web_search, etc.):
- Construct clear search queries (Chinese or English are both acceptable)
- Obtain search results
- Extract key details and integrate them into the narrative
Usage Principles
- Precise Queries: Query statements should be specific and avoid being too broad
- Extract Details: Extract specific names, numbers, and descriptions from search results
- Integrate into Narrative: Weave facts naturally into the story, not like an encyclopedia-style listing
- Use Moderately: Not every scene needs verification; use it only in key scenes that require credibility
2. Logical Deduction
Positioning
Used for deep logical deduction of complex plots to ensure the story can withstand scrutiny.
Use Cases
| Scenario | Deduction Content |
|---|---|
| Complex Twists | Verify in advance whether the twist has sufficient foreshadowing and whether readers can accept it |
| Multi-line Convergence | Deduce how multiple storylines can naturally converge |
| Battle of Wits Segments | Design attack-and-defense logic to ensure both sides behave reasonably |
| Logic Verification | Check the causal chain of the plot and discover potential loopholes |
| Timeline Deduction | Verify whether the actions of multiple characters in the same time period conflict |
| Motivation Analysis | Deduce reasonable reactions of characters in specific situations |
Usage Principles
- Clear Problem: Clearly express the problem to be deduced as a specific proposition
- Step-by-step Deduction: Reason step by step; do not give too large a proposition at once
- Critical Adoption: Deduction results are for reference; filter them with the creator's judgment
- Leave Room: When multiple possible paths are deduced, choose the most dramatic and logical one
3. Style Reference
Use Cases
- When you need inspiration while stuck
- When you need to reference a specific scene description approach
- When learning a certain narrative style
Workflow
- In the workspace
novel/{书名}/or the reference material directory, search for relevant style references - Analyze the search results: flavor, rhythm, technique, entry point
- Reference rather than plagiarize
The combination of research and creation
The "reference rather than plagiarize" principle
- Search results: Extract factual details (names, data, descriptions) and restate them in your own words
- Style references: Learn the style and techniques (rhythm, perspective, atmosphere building) and recreate them with your own content
- Logical deduction results: Adopt the logical conclusions, but express them in the creator's way
Choosing research intensity
| Scene type | Research intensity | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Daily conversation/emotional scenes | Low | No research needed |
| Scenes related to professional knowledge | Medium | Web search |
| Complex twists/multi-thread convergence | Medium | Logical deduction |
| Historical/real-scene recreation | High | Search + deduction |
| Stuck/style exploration | Medium | Style reference |
Notes
- Do not over-research: Research serves creation; do not get caught in endless searching
- Do not pile up details: The information found should blend naturally into the narrative, not become a knowledge encyclopedia
- Time management: Research should be completed before writing; do not interrupt the creative rhythm by checking while writing
- Result storage: Write important research results into
设定/the corresponding file (see the novel-memory skill) to avoid repeated searching
