Story Arc Board

Use this skill when the user wants a polished macOS menu-bar utility for catching recurring phrases, symbols, or post ideas across notes, drafts, and community chatter before that context gets scattered again.

Presentation

• Make the surface feel like a premium Apple utility.
• Lead with one calm summary line and one clear action.
• Keep the visual language restrained, dark, and readable at a glance.

Build shape

• Prefer a menu-bar popover or compact status-item panel.
• Show the intake lane first, then the pinned beats that deserve follow-up.
• Reduce tab-hopping between Notes, browser tabs, and social drafts.
• Keep the UI focused on capturing, pinning, and promoting the next strong hook.

Guardrails

• Do not invent unsupported metrics or background services.
• Keep the app simple enough to feel native on macOS.
• Use one primary action and a small set of supporting actions.

Prototype

• SwiftUI starter files live in prototype/.
• Keep the prototype menu-bar first and easy to transplant into a real macOS target.
• Favor pinned snippets, short labels, and one obvious next-step action over dashboard sprawl.

When extending

• Add more depth only when it improves the single workflow the skill is meant to solve.
• If the skill grows, keep the menu-bar path short and the detail panel readable.
