What it does
From an idea to a sellable series design; series engine / franchise, story pattern, character webs that keep generating conflict, pilot types, and the documents that sell them (剧集引擎/franchise/故事模式/人物网/试播集类型/剧集圣经/跳板/提案). Merged from Rabkin's four-element franchise and story landmines, Landau's tacit contract and pitch recipe, Oberg's series types and bible specs, Douglas's franchise-plus-springboard and bible tiers, Goldberg & Rabkin's 100-episode test, Blum's concept/presentation/bible ladder, Miller's ten-component treatment, Calvisi's Compelling Crisis, Smith's series format, plus engines read off Sopranos, Fleabag and Succession. Use when turning an idea into a series, testing whether a premise has legs, choosing premise vs typical-episode pilot, designing a sustainable character web, writing a logline, pitch document, bible or treatment, picking a series type, adapting IP into a series, or diagnosing a project that feels "more like a movie than a series".
剧集引擎与剧集圣经（Series Engine & Bible）
输出语言＝提问语言；术语一律锚回原词，见 sw-workflow/terms.md，不自创译名。
管四层：引擎（凭什么每周都有故事）、人物网（冲突从哪里自动产生）、pilot 类型与策略、文档（logline → 提案 → treatment → bible）。
不管：单集与季的幕结构、页码、act out 与 cliffhanger 类型学（→ sw-series-structure）；编剧室流程与 pitch 会议礼仪（→ sw-writers-room）；半小时喜剧的笑点力学与人物配置（→ sw-sitcom-comedy）；国产剧策划书、分集大纲、集数体量与审查（→ sw-chinese-series-practice）。前提/主控思想/三维人物/对白等媒介无关内容不在此重写（→ sw-premise-theme、sw-character-conflict）。
参考资料分三个文件：引擎拆解、剧集类型与人物网见 reference.md；文档模板的完整字段表（Rabkin 十节 pitch document、Smith series format 十一节、Oberg bible 十二组件）见 reference-documents.md；填好的样例（两份 writers’ guidelines、Miller 六份 treatment 矩阵、Succession 七个 want 表）见 reference-samples.md。
按任务读哪几节（不要通读）
本节 44 KB，规则编到 56 条，逐条读完通常是浪费。
| 任务 | 读 | 跳过 |
|---|---|---|
| 判断一个点子能不能做成剧 | 一（引擎定义）、二（写成句子，尤其第 8 与第 10 条的二选一） | 三, 七 |
| 设计人物网 | 三 | 五、六 |
| 选 pilot 类型 | 四 | 三、七 |
| 写 bible / pitch / series format | 六，字段表转 reference-documents.md | 一, 四 |
| 诊断一份已有的方案或大纲 | 九（诊断清单）；改单集时整组跳过 ㉑, ㉚ | 六 |
| 改编 IP | 七 | 四、五 |
reference.md／reference-documents.md／reference-samples.md 都是查表用的，只在正文指向时打开。
来源与各书关系
Rabkin 给引擎原理，Landau 给字段，Oberg 给类型与规格，Douglas 给行业语汇，Goldberg/Rabkin 给工业底线，Blum 给文档层级，Miller/Calvisi/Smith 给表单，四部语料给证据。
