synopsis

Generate a synopsis of your story using the synopsis agent.

What This Does

1. Asks what length synopsis you want (long, medium, or short)
2. Reads the manuscript (or available chapters)
3. Produces a synopsis at your chosen length
4. Focuses on story summary, not evaluation

Length Options

• Long — Detailed 800-1200 word synopsis covering full plot arc, subplots, and character journeys
• Medium — Standard 300-500 word synopsis for query letters and submissions
• Short — Punchy 100-150 word hook/blurb suitable for back cover or elevator pitch

Usage

/synopsis                  # Synopsis of current project
/synopsis book 2           # Synopsis of specific book in series

Output

Synopses are saved to synopses/synopsis-YYYY-MM-DD-{length}.md and tracked in progress.md.

A plot-focused summary including:

• Story premise and hook
• Main character arc
• Key plot points and turning points
• Resolution (for long/medium; short may tease rather than spoil)

When to Use

• Preparing query letters
• Writing back cover copy
• Creating marketing materials
• Summarizing for collaborators or editors
• Refreshing your memory on a shelved project

Important Note

Unlike critique, synopsis doesn't require a complete manuscript. It will work with whatever chapters are available, noting if the story is incomplete.
