sw-truby-anatomy

Organic story anatomy from John Truby's The Anatomy of Story (有机结构/设计原则/22步骤/道德议题/四角对立/幽灵/场景编排) — the designing principle (story process plus original execution), the seven key steps as the organic spine, all twenty-two steps with the middle-act machinery the beat sheets lack (ghost, fake-ally opponent, plan, opponent's drive, ally's attack, fake defeat, three revelation-and-decision pairs, audience revelation, visit to death, moral decision), four-corner opposition, the moral-argument chain with the hero-opponent power-balance rule, scene weave with structure-step tags and storyline numbers, and the accordion rule (never fewer than seven steps). Kept side by side with the Field/Snyder page maps. Use when the middle act sags into unconnected episodes, when the premise works but the story feels mechanical, when one antagonist cannot carry the theme, when the theme stays stated instead of acted, or when a BS2 board needs an organic second pass.

# 有机故事解剖(Truby's Organic Anatomy)

> **输出语言=提问语言**;术语一律锚回原词,见 [sw-workflow/terms.md](../sw-workflow/terms.md),不自创译名。

本 skill 提炼自约翰·特鲁比《故事写作大师班》(John Truby, *The Anatomy of Story*, 2007)。特鲁比的行业身份是"剧本医生"——替制片公司诊断别人剧本的结构病,这套方法就是诊断单本身:**设计原则、七大关键步骤、22 个步骤、四角对立、道德议题链、场景编排**。原书方法以《教父》《卡萨布兰卡》《窈窕淑男》等经典的逐步骤拆解为证,例证见 [reference.md](reference.md)。

## 一、与三幕页码体系的关系(先读)

**分歧并排保留**(本库约定):

- 特鲁比的立场:七大步骤"**不像三幕式结构等机械式故事结构那样,可以随意从外面强加于故事之上。它们存在于故事的内在**"(Ch3);22 个步骤"永远不会告诉你写什么,这是公式或类型才会要求你做的事"(Ch8)。
- 菲尔德/斯奈德的立场(`sw-story-structure`):结构=页码地图。一页一分钟,情节点、中点、失去一切落在第几页。

**两者不互斥,服务不同的问题**:页码地图管"多长、什么节奏",有机解剖管"骨架是否长在人物身上"。推荐两种用法任选其一、不要都做:
