  • 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 Midpoint 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-midpoint
  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-midpoint .claude/skills/story-design-midpoint
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Story Design Midpoint 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 Midpoint 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 Midpoint 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)

中点是"假胜利"或"假失败"。在印第安纳·琼斯发现约柜的下落、同时发现凯伦·艾伦还活着时，这就是经典中点的一记组合拳——假胜利和假失败同时发生。"六十分钟的性爱！"——这是中点的另一个名字。

— Blake Snyder, Save the Cat! Strikes Back, ~p.49

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

Midpoint 是故事的'铰链'——连接第一半和第二半。它有两种形式：False Victory（假胜利——主角似乎赢了但其实没赢）或 False Failure（假失败——主角似乎输了但其实没输）。

核心功能：Midpoint 是 A Story 和 B Story 的交叉点——'Sex at 60'（第60分钟男女主角接吻）是经典 Midpoint，因为 A Story（冒险）和 B Story（爱情）在此刻交汇。Midpoint 之后，故事的 stakes 必须升级——从'能不能赢'变成'能不能活'。

独特价值：没有 Midpoint 的故事会在中间塌陷——观众不知道故事走向何方。Midpoint 提供了明确的'转折点'，让第二半有方向感。

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》的 Midpoint 是经典假胜利：Indiana Jones 发现了约柜的位置，同时发现 Karen Allen 还活着——双重'胜利'。'Sex at 60!'（第60分钟他们接吻）是 A Story 和 B Story 的交叉。但紧接着 Jones 必须把她绑起来继续任务——假胜利立刻被打碎，stakes 升级。
  • 结论: 中点的假胜利比假失败更有力——观众和主角一起被骗，情感落差更大
  • 结果: 故事获得了清晰的结构和情感弧线

案例 2: 《社交网络》的Midpoint假失败

  • 问题: 如何用False Failure型Midpoint设计一个'下降'前半段的故事
  • 方法论的使用: Mark Zuckerberg 在 Midpoint 似乎失去了他创建的一切——被赶出公司核心、Eduardo 冻结账户。这是经典假失败：他似乎输了，但紧接着他发现用户数突破百万，stakes从'能不能成功'变成'成功后能不能保住友情'——A Story（创业）和B Story（友情）在此刻交汇并撕裂
  • 结论: False Failure 型 Midpoint 适合'上升'叙事——先让主角跌入谷底再反弹，后半段 stakes 比前半段更私人
  • 结果: Midpoint 后故事从商业竞争变成了关于孤独和背叛的戏剧

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 第二幕怎么写
  2. 故事到中间就散了
  3. midpoint 怎么设计

语言信号 (用户的话里出现这些就应激活)

  • "中点"
  • "midpoint"
  • "第二幕"
  • "假胜利"
  • "假失败"

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. 选择 False Victory 或 False Failure

    • 完成标准: 问自己：前半段的主调是什么？如果是'上升'就用 False Victory；如果是'下降'就用 False Failure

  2. 设计 A/B Story 交叉

    • 完成标准: Midpoint 必须是 A Story 和 B Story 的交汇点——'Sex at 60'是经典模式
    • 判停条件: 若核心条件不满足，则回到步骤1重新评估

  3. 在 Midpoint 之后升级 stakes

    • 完成标准: Midpoint 后故事的 stakes 必须从'能不能赢'变成'能不能活'

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 不要让 Midpoint 只是'中间发生了什么'——必须有明确的假胜利/假失败
  • 不要跳过 A/B Story 交叉——Midpoint 的核心功能是连接两条故事线

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • Midpoint 没有假胜利/假失败——故事在中间塌陷
  • Midpoint 后 stakes 没有升级——第二半缺乏紧迫感

作者的盲点

作者假设所有故事都有明确的 Midpoint 转折，但某些散文式叙事或反高潮故事可能没有清晰的中点。此外，作者的'60分钟'规则基于2小时电影，不同时长的故事需要调整。

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Story Design Midpoint AI skill do?

用户提到第二幕怎么写、中点、midpoint、故事到中间就散了

Why use Story Design Midpoint on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Story Design Midpoint 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 Midpoint 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-midpoint. 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 Midpoint?

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 Midpoint?

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

Is the Story Design Midpoint 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.
