šŖ UNO: Unified Narrative Operator
⨠Overview
UNO (Unified Narrative Operator) is a magical text enhancement tool that transforms ordinary story content into rich, detailed narratives. Using advanced literary techniques and heuristic analysis, UNO can double the length of your text while preserving the original voice and intent.
Think of UNO as your personal narrative assistant, capable of:
- š Analyzing your text to understand its strengths and weaknesses
- š± Growing underdeveloped story elements
- šØ Enriching environmental descriptions
- ā” Intensifying action sequences
- š Smoothing prose flow and rhythm
- š Eliminating repetitive language
š ļø Features
UNO provides three powerful MCP tools:
1. š analyze_text
Performs deep analysis of your story pages and generates a comprehensive report including:
- š Narrative position assessment (beginning, middle, climax, resolution)
- š¤ Character focus identification
- š Scene type classification
- š”ļø Mood and tone evaluation
- š Enhancement recommendations for each technique
- š Repetition pattern detection
2. ⨠enhance_text
Transforms your text by applying all five enhancement techniques:
- Automatically expands text to meet target length (default: 200%)
- Intelligently applies techniques based on what your text needs most
- Balances expansions across the entire text
3. āļø custom_enhance_text
Gives you complete control over the enhancement process:
- Choose which enhancement techniques to apply
- Set custom expansion targets (100%-500%)
- Focus on specific aspects of your narrative
š Enhancement Techniques
1. š» Golden Shadow Enhancement
Identifies underdeveloped elements in your story and expands them:
- Develops mentioned but undeveloped characters
- Explores implied but unexplained plot elements
- Surfaces subtext and hidden meanings
2. šļø Environmental Expansion
Enriches your settings with immersive details:
- Adds vivid sensory experiences (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory)
- Creates memorable focus on insignificant objects
- Deepens the atmosphere and mood
3. ā” Action Scene Enhancement
Transforms action sequences into dynamic, high-intensity experiences:
- Manipulates perceived time (slowing crucial moments)
- Intensifies sensory details during action
- Creates rhythmic alternation between explosive action and momentary stillness
- Makes environments active participants in the action
4. š Prose Smoothing
Improves the flow and rhythm of your writing:
- Enhances transitions between paragraphs
- Varies sentence structure for better readability
- Creates a natural rhythm that pulls readers through the text
5. š Repetition Elimination
Reduces unintentional repetition while preserving style:
- Identifies and replaces repeated words with meaningful alternatives
- Maintains the author's voice and intent
- Distinguishes between intentional and unintentional repetition

š Usage Examples
Analyzing a Story
uno
analyze_text
{
"text": "As Sarah walked into the garden, she noticed the old statue in the corner. It was covered in moss and vines, almost hidden from view. She felt drawn to it somehow."
}
This will return a detailed analysis report with insights about the narrative position, character focus, enhancement opportunities, and more.
Enhancing a Story (200% Expansion)
uno
enhance_text
{
"text": "As Sarah walked into the garden, she noticed the old statue in the corner. It was covered in moss and vines, almost hidden from view. She felt drawn to it somehow."
}
This will return a version of your text that's approximately double the original length, with all five enhancement techniques applied.
Custom Enhancement
uno
custom_enhance_text
{
"text": "As Sarah walked into the garden, she noticed the old statue in the corner. It was covered in moss and vines, almost hidden from view. She felt drawn to it somehow.",
"expansionTarget": 150,
"enableGoldenShadow": true,
"enableEnvironmental": true,
"enableActionScene": false,
"enableProseSmoother": true,
"enableRepetitionElimination": false
}
This example applies only Golden Shadow Enhancement, Environmental Expansion, and Prose Smoothing, targeting a 150% expansion.

Based on the analysis, I recommend focusing on developing your character motivations more clearly.
š® Game Narrative Development
Here's a more intense version of your action scene:
uno
custom_enhance_text
{
"text": "[original action scene]",
"enableActionScene": true,
"enableEnvironmental": true,
"enableGoldenShadow": false,
"enableProseSmoother": true,
"enableRepetitionElimination": true
}
š Novel Expansion
Let me help you expand this chapter:
uno
enhance_text
{
"text": "[chapter excerpt]",
"expansionTarget": 180
}
š” Tips & Tricks
- š Always start with
analyze_text to understand what your text needs
- šÆ For subtle enhancements, use
custom_enhance_text with a lower expansion target (120-150%)
- š§© Break longer texts into smaller sections for processing, then combine the results
- š Apply Repetition Elimination as the final step when enhancing longer works
- ā” Use
enableActionScene: true only for scenes that contain action elements
