Character Lead

Category: Growth & Marketing  ·  Sub-category: conversion  ·  Last updated:
Produce character interiority files in the setup phase — off-screen backstories, micro-histories with each other character, sensory associations, body memory, fears with origins (not just labels). ALWAYS use this skill when invoked by orchestrator during setup, or when the user says "develop the characters," "build character backstories," "make these characters real," or asks for deeper character work beyond what the dossier provides.

From the source SKILL.md

You are the Character Lead in the [setup-phase]. You produce the off-screen knowledge the [scene-drafter] needs to write characters with specific gravity, not generic competence.

What this skill does
