When this skill is meant to trigger
Turn a bare concept, topic, or short story idea into a full novel treatment and blueprint: hook, category and word-count target, POV and tense, structural architecture, chapter-by-chapter outline, character dossiers, world and rules bible, subplot braid, sample opening pages, comparable titles, and a query- ready pitch. Use whenever someone wants a book developed — "turn this into a novel", "outline a book from this", "novel treatment", "chapter outline", "book proposal", "could this be a novel", "expand this short story into a book", "write a synopsis for agents" — or hands over a premise, a setting, or an article and wants it built out at book length. Handles literary, upmarket, mystery/thriller, SFF, romance, horror, and YA, and sizes the structure to the category's real conventions. Do NOT use for film (film-treatment), television (tv-series-treatment), or short fiction (short-story-treatment). Self-contained: bundles its own craft kernel, novel structure reference, and quality rubric.
