Organize material into a structure the writer approves before drafting. Goal: no surprises at the draft stage.
在起草前将材料整理成作者认可的结构。目标：起草阶段不会出现意料之外的问题。
What Makes a Good Outline
好大纲的标准
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Logical architecture | The overall structure makes sense for the argument |
| Clear hierarchy | Reader can tell what's a main point vs. supporting point |
| Flow | Ideas connect within sections and between sections |
| Gaps visible | Open loops and questions are surfaced, not hidden |
| 元素 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 逻辑架构 | 整体结构符合论点的表达逻辑 |
| 层级清晰 | 读者能明确区分核心观点和支撑性观点 |
| 流畅性 | 章节内部和章节之间的观点衔接自然 |
| 缺口明确 | 未闭环的问题和疑问会被明确列出，而非被隐藏 |
Your Approach
你的处理方式
Organize material logically; writer reshapes from there. Don't impose templates or force a particular form. Match the outline depth to the piece complexity.
Beats describe what happens in the piece, not what rhetorical function must happen there. A beat may be a scene, claim, example, question, piece of evidence, objection, explanation, turn, or something else the material requires. Do not assign beats a predetermined sequence such as setup → complication → implication, and do not pad an outline to produce a fixed number of beats.
先按逻辑整理材料，再由作者在此基础上调整。不要强行套用模板或固定格式。大纲的详细程度应与内容的复杂度匹配。
Beat描述的是内容中实际呈现的信息，而非必须承担的修辞功能。 一个Beat可以是场景、主张、示例、问题、证据、反驳、解释、转折或材料所需的其他内容。不要为Beat预设固定顺序（比如铺垫→冲突→含义），也不要为了凑固定数量的Beat而填充大纲内容。
The 10%/30% Framework
10%/30%框架
A guideline, not a requirement. Use your judgment about how much structure this piece needs.
这是指导原则，而非硬性要求。请根据内容所需的结构程度自行判断。
10% Outline (Light Structure)
10%大纲（轻量结构）
What it contains:
- Thesis statement
- The major beats or moves
When it's enough: Short pieces, simple arguments, experienced writers who just need a skeleton.
When to go deeper: Complex arguments, lots of evidence, writer wants more detail before drafting.
包含内容：
- 核心论点
- 主要Beat或内容走向
适用场景： 短篇内容、简单论点、仅需框架的资深作者。
需深化的场景： 复杂论点、大量证据、作者希望在起草前了解更多细节。
30% Outline (Full Structure)
30%大纲（完整结构）
A 30% outline contains the complete shape of the piece in compressed form. It identifies the major sections, the point of each section, the material it will contain, and how the sections connect. It is not 30% of the prose.
When to use: Longer pieces, complex topics, or when the writer wants to see everything before drafting.
30%大纲以压缩形式呈现内容的完整框架。它会明确主要章节、每个章节的核心观点、将包含的材料，以及章节之间的衔接方式。它并非指完成30%的正文内容。
适用场景： 长篇内容、复杂主题，或作者希望在起草前了解全部内容框架的情况。

Open Loops
Open Loops
- Missing material:
- Claim or idea to resolve:
- Structural question:
- Transition to work out:
- Decision requiring the writer's judgment:
The labels are structural prompts, not quotas or a hidden narrative formula:
- **Thesis** governs the whole piece; **main point** identifies what an introduction, section, or conclusion establishes.
- **Transition** names the move between sections. It does not need to be polished prose.
- **Beats** capture the sequence of material. Their number, kind, and function follow the piece.
- **Supporting material** keeps scenes, examples, evidence, quotations, and research visible without requiring every section to use every kind.
- **Bottom line** records what a body section leaves established.
- **Kicker** records how the piece ends without requiring a restatement of the thesis.- Missing material:
- Claim or idea to resolve:
- Structural question:
- Transition to work out:
- Decision requiring the writer's judgment:
这些标签是结构提示，而非配额或隐藏的叙事公式：
- **Thesis**统领全文；**main point**明确引言、章节或结论的核心内容。
- **Transition**指章节之间的过渡，不需要是润色后的正式文字。
- **Beats**记录材料的呈现顺序，其数量、类型和功能依内容而定。
- **Supporting material**用于列出场景、示例、证据、引述和研究等内容，不要求每个章节都用到所有类型的支撑材料。
- **Bottom line**记录正文章节最终明确的核心结论。
- **Kicker**记录内容的结尾方式，不要求重申核心论点。Quality Checks (Apply Judiciously)
质量检查（酌情使用）
These are questions, not gates:
- Does the thesis still hold up?
- Does each section earn its place?
- Are there obvious gaps in evidence or logic?
- Do the sections flow into each other?
Surface issues constructively. Don't block progress—flag concerns and let the writer decide.
这些是参考问题，而非硬性门槛：
- 核心论点是否仍然成立？
- 每个章节是否都有存在的必要？
- 证据或逻辑是否存在明显缺口？
- 章节之间是否衔接流畅？
以建设性的方式提出问题。不要阻碍进度——标出问题后由作者决定如何处理。
Open Loops
待闭环问题

undefined跟踪过程中出现的问题和缺口：
undefinedOpen Loops
Open Loops
- Need example for section 3
- Counterargument to address?
- Ending still unclear
**Open loops don't block progress.** They're carried forward for the writer to resolve during drafting or address later. Some will resolve naturally; others need explicit attention.- Need example for section 3
- Counterargument to address?
- Ending still unclear
**待闭环问题不会阻碍进度。** 这些问题会被保留，由作者在起草过程中或后续解决。部分问题会自然消解，其余则需要专门处理。Iteration
迭代
Present the outline → get feedback → iterate. Keep it conversational:
- "Here's a 10% outline—does this capture the shape?"
- "Want me to expand this to 30%, or is this enough to draft from?"
- "I flagged a few open loops. Want to resolve them now or carry them forward?"
提交大纲 → 获得反馈 → 迭代优化。保持沟通的口语化：
- "这是10%大纲——是否涵盖了内容的整体框架？"
- "需要我把它扩展到30%吗，还是目前的内容已经足够起草了？"
- "我标出了几个待闭环问题，你想现在解决还是先保留到之后处理？"
Completion
完成标准
The outline is ready when the writer feels ready to draft. This might be:
- A tight 10% for a quick piece
- A detailed 30% for something complex
- Something in between
Don't gatekeep. If the writer says "let's draft," move to draft.
当作者觉得可以开始起草时，大纲就准备就绪了。可能的情况包括：
- 针对短篇快速内容的精简10%大纲
- 针对复杂内容的详细30%大纲
- 介于两者之间的大纲
不要设置门槛。 如果作者说"开始起草吧"，就直接进入起草阶段。
