  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by geegl on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Story Design Beat Sheet AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/geegl/directorskills/tree/main/output/books/story-design/story-design-beat-sheet
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/geegl/directorskills.git /tmp/directorskills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/directorskills/output/books/story-design/story-design-beat-sheet .claude/skills/story-design-beat-sheet
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Story Design Beat Sheet in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Story Design Beat Sheet on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Story Design Beat Sheet is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

R — 原文 (Reading)

把一个新想法分解成布莱克·斯奈德节拍表的 15 个节拍，再在周末白板会议上把这 15 个节拍展开成一般故事中 40 个关键场景。在课堂上，我们总会找到那个"试金石场景"——它代表了整个故事的核心。

— Blake Snyder, Save the Cat! Strikes Back, ~p.45

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

BS2（Blake Snyder Beat Sheet）是一个15节拍的故事骨架工具，将任何故事分解为从'开场画面'到'终场画面'的15个结构节点。它的核心思想是：故事不是靠抽象的'三幕结构'搭建的，而是靠15个具体的功能性节拍来驱动。

每个节拍有明确的叙事功能：Opening Image 建立基调，Theme Stated 埋下主题，Set-Up 介绍世界，Catalyst 打破平衡，Debate 制造犹豫，Break into Two 进入新世界，B Story 讨论主题，Fun and Games 展示承诺，Midpoint 假胜利/假失败，Bad Guys Close In 压缩空间，All Is Lost 跌入谷底，Dark Night of the Soul 内心挣扎，Break into Three 找到出路，Finale 五步终局，Final Image 展示变化。

独特价值：这个系统比'三幕结构'具体15倍。每个节拍都是可操作的——你可以直接问自己'我的Midpoint是什么？'而不是模糊地问'第二幕怎么写'。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1

  • 问题: 如何在商业故事中应用此方法论
  • 方法论的使用: 《夺宝奇兵1》精准击中BS2的每一个节拍。开场 Indiana Jones 是不信仰黑魔法的科学家（Opening Image），他明确说'I don't believe in black magic'（Theme Stated），发现约柜下落同时发现 Karen Allen 还活着是经典 Midpoint 假胜利（'Sex at 60!'），最终他独自见证约柜的神圣力量，完成了从不信仰到信仰的弧线（Final Image）。
  • 结论: 节拍表不是公式——它是诊断工具。当故事卡住时，回到节拍表检查哪个节拍缺失或无力
  • 结果: 故事获得了清晰的结构和情感弧线

案例 2: 《蜘蛛侠：平行宇宙》的BS2分析

  • 问题: 如何用BS2框架分析一部非线性叙事的动画电影
  • 方法论的使用: Miles Morales 的故事精准击中BS2：Opening Image 是他对着镜子自拍不自信（基调），Catalyst 是被蜘蛛咬（打破平衡），Midpoint 是他以为能用 Uncle Aaron 的方式解决问题（假胜利——'I got this'），但紧接着 Aaron 死亡（假胜利被打碎），All Is Lost 是他把自己关在房间里拒绝成为蜘蛛侠，Final Image 是他从高楼跳下——自信地、主动地（与 Opening Image 的不自信形成完美对比）
  • 结论: BS2 适用于非线性叙事——节拍可以打乱顺序但功能不变
  • 结果: 故事在视觉创新的同时保持了经典的情感结构

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 怎么构建故事结构
  2. 故事写到一半不知道怎么继续
  3. Beat Sheet怎么用

语言信号 (用户的话里出现这些就应激活)

  • "故事结构"
  • "节拍表"
  • "三幕结构"
  • "怎么写剧本"
  • "Beat Sheet"
  • "15个节拍"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • 与 story-design-beat-sheet 的区别: beat-sheet 是整体15节拍框架，本 skill 聚焦特定方法论
  • 与 story-design-genres 的区别: genres 决定'是什么类型'，本 skill 决定'怎么操作'

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

当 skill 被激活后, agent 应按以下步骤执行:

  1. 确定 Opening Image 和 Final Image

    • 完成标准: 两者必须是对比——主角的起点和终点状态要形成鲜明反差。完成标准：能用一句话说清'开场时主角是__，终场时变成了__'

  2. 填入15个节拍

    • 完成标准: 按顺序逐个填入：Theme Stated（第5-10分钟埋下主题），Catalyst（打破平衡的外部事件），Midpoint（假胜利或假失败），All Is Lost（跌入谷底）。完成标准：每个节拍都有具体的场景描述
    • 判停条件: 若核心条件不满足，则回到步骤1重新评估

  3. 检查 Act 1 和 Act 3 的对称性

    • 完成标准: Catalyst-Debate-Break into Two 的结构与 All Is Lost-Dark Night-Break into Three 完全对称——后者是前者的放大版，stakes 更高

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 不要在已有成熟结构只需微调时使用——BS2 是从零构建的工具
  • 不要把 BS2 当成检查清单机械填写——每个节拍必须有机服务于整体故事

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • Fun and Games 缺乏'fun'导致故事沉闷——Evan Almighty 的 premise 本身不够有趣
  • No Double Mumbo Jumbo 违反——Spider-Man 3 用了四重魔法（Quadruple Mumbo Jumbo），故事失控

作者的盲点

作者假设所有故事都遵循15节拍结构，但某些非线性叙事（如《记忆碎片》）或散文式叙事可能不适用。此外，BS2 偏好莱坞商业片，艺术电影可能需要更灵活的框架。

Frequently asked questions

What does the Story Design Beat Sheet AI skill do?

当用户需要从零构建故事结构、检查叙事是否完整、或诊断'故事写到一半不知道怎么继续'时调用。核心 trigger：用户提到'故事结构'、'节拍表'、'三幕结构'、'怎么写剧本'、'Beat Sheet'。不适用于：已有成熟结构只需微调细节，或用户讨论的是非叙事类内容。

Why use Story Design Beat Sheet on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Story Design Beat Sheet is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Story Design Beat Sheet in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/geegl/directorskills/tree/main/output/books/story-design/story-design-beat-sheet. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Story Design Beat Sheet?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Story Design Beat Sheet?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Story Design Beat Sheet with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Story Design Beat Sheet AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by geegl under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
