Long-Form Novel Deconstruction (story-long-analyze)
A staged pipeline that deconstructs a full-length web novel into golden-three-chapter analysis, plot/emotion/rhythm modules, character and setting files, and a style profile.

What it does
- Builds a mechanical chapter index (
chapter_index.csv) from your raw manuscript, then reads the text once in non-overlapping contiguous chapter blocks to accumulate per-chapter summaries. - Produces a deep deconstruction of the opening golden three chapters plus an author-friendly quick-preview document first, before committing to the full run.
- Runs Stage 0–6: plot units and storyline, three-dimensional rhythm (information progression / reader emotion / page allocation), emotion modules, character profiles and relationship charts, world settings, style profile, and a final master report.
- Tracks stage state in
_progress.md, so runs are resumable across sessions; already-analyzed projects are reused instead of re-read. - Optional three-layer "inspiration library" pipeline for extracting atomic ideas and aggregating them across multiple books.
Who it's for
- Web-novel and long-form fiction authors who want to learn structure by dissecting successful titles.
- Editors and story planners who need a quantified read on a reference book's hook and pacing.
- Writing teams facing hundreds of chapters that nobody can realistically read end to end.
Examples
- Give it a manuscript path and say "deconstruct this book" → chapter index → golden-three-chapter deep dive + quick preview → it pauses and asks whether to continue.
- Ask for "just analyze the golden three chapters" to focus on hooks, information reveal order, and emotional design in the opening.
- On a project that already has all chapter summaries, ask to "redo the style profile" → only Stage 6 runs and regenerates the style file.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/story-long-analyze folder from the GitHub repo zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode into my ~/.claude/skills/story-long-analyze/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-long-analyze ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode.git - Copy the skill into your Claude Code skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-long-analyze ~/.claude/skills/ - This skill relies on companion sub-agents and Python scripts, so copy the repo's other skills too — especially
story-setup. - Verify Python 3 is available:
python3 --version - Start Claude Code inside your project folder and run
/story-setupfirst to deploy the agent bundle. - Place the manuscript at a path like
拆文库/{book name}/原文/原文.txt(UTF-8 text, LF line endings). - Invoke
/story-long-analyze, or just say "deconstruct this book" with the file path. If a run is interrupted, invoke it again in the same folder to resume.
