What it does

Episode and season structure for TV series (剧集单集与季的结构), teasers and cold opens, broadcast four/five/six-act grids with page anchors, three tests for finding the invisible acts in streaming scripts, act-out and cliffhanger taxonomies, Oberg's four information tools, A/B/C/runner weaving and scene-count ratios, the Calvisi pilot beat sheet, five-part scene structure, and season shape (tentpoles, bottle and container episodes, two-parters, finales). Merged from Calvisi, Douglas, Oberg, Landau, Goldberg & Rabkin, Miller, Rabkin and Blum, plus act lengths measured from published West Wing, Succession, Sopranos, Downton and Fleabag scripts. Use when breaking an episode into acts, deciding how many acts a script needs, placing act outs and cliffhangers, designing a teaser, weaving A/B/C stories and runners, beating out a one-hour pilot, auditing an episode that has no shape, reverse-engineering a show's structure, or planning a season's episode order (分幕、出幕、悬念结局、季弧、瓶子集).

剧集结构(Series Structure:单集与季)

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。

分工:Calvisi 给 pilot 的逐节拍页码区间,Douglas 给四幕格子与场数,Oberg 给"格式 vs 结构"的地基与信息管理四工具,Landau 给幕数抽样与 cliffhanger 类型学,Goldberg & Rabkin 给经典广播四幕的功能表,Miller 给 landmark 与场结构五件套,Rabkin 给流媒体时代的提速规则,Blum 给各节目类型的幕数页数表,五部剧本集(West Wing / Succession / Sopranos / Downton / Fleabag)给可验证的实测数字。

表格、完整节拍表与逐集数据见同目录 reference.md。

本 pack 用的英文术语、严敏中译本的官方译名与一句话定义的四列对照表见 reference.md 第十二节(含 log line="计程绳"、staff writer="试用编剧"两处怪译,以及"晚进早出"与 enter late, leave early 同名反义的警告)。

不在本 skill 里:series engine / franchise / bible / pilot 类型与卖法 → sw-series-engine-bible;半小时喜剧的笑点与格式 → sw-sitcom-comedy;编剧室流程与文档链 → sw-writers-room;国产剧集数体量与分集体系 → sw-chinese-series-practice;逐集结构表全文 → sw-series-case-studies / succession-series-writing。媒介无关的工艺不重写:场景价值转折见 sw-scene-craft,对白见 sw-dialogue,三幕范式与情节点见 sw-story-structure。

按任务读哪几节(不要通读)

本节 38 KB,逐节读完通常是浪费。按手上的任务只读对应几节:

任务读跳过
破一集的结构 / 排幕二(容器与幕)、三(出幕与信息管理)、四(A/B/C 编织)五、七、八
写或改 pilot五(pilot 节拍表)、二七(季形)、六
诊断一份已有的大纲或剧本九(诊断清单),再按失败项回查对应章节其余全部
排一整季七(季形)、四五、六
写半小时喜剧仅三、六的媒介无关部分 → 转 sw-sitcom-comedy二、五的页码(一小时专用)
写国产 45 分钟剧三、四、六 → 时段与场面数转 sw-chinese-series-practice二、五的页码

reference.md 是查表用的,只在 SKILL.md 明确指向某一节时打开。
