## Description

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](../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](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](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。
