✨ 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:

  • 📊 Analyzing your text to understand its strengths and weaknesses
  • 🌱 Growing underdeveloped story elements
  • 🎨 Enriching environmental descriptions
  • ⚡ Intensifying action sequences
  • 🌊 Smoothing prose flow and rhythm
  • 🔄 Eliminating repetitive language

🛠️ Features

UNO provides three powerful MCP tools:

1. 🔍 analyze_text

Performs deep analysis of your story pages and generates a comprehensive report including:

  • 📝 Narrative position assessment (beginning, middle, climax, resolution)
  • 👤 Character focus identification
  • 🎭 Scene type classification
  • 🌡️ Mood and tone evaluation
  • 📈 Enhancement recommendations for each technique
  • 🔄 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. ⚙️ 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

🌟 Enhancement Techniques

1. 👻 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. 🏞️ 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. ⚡ 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. 🌊 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. 🔄 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

🚀 Usage Examples

Analyzing a Story

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>uno</server_name>
<tool_name>analyze_text</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "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."
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

This will return a detailed analysis report with insights about the narrative position, character focus, enhancement opportunities, and more.

Enhancing a Story (200% Expansion)

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>uno</server_name>
<tool_name>enhance_text</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "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."
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

This will return a version of your text that's approximately double the original length, with all five enhancement techniques applied.

Custom Enhancement

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>uno</server_name>
<tool_name>custom_enhance_text</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "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
}
</arguments>

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • 🔍 Always start with analyze_text to understand what your text needs
  • 🎯 For subtle enhancements, use custom_enhance_text with a lower expansion target (120-150%)
  • 🧩 Break longer texts into smaller sections for processing, then combine the results
  • 🔄 Apply Repetition Elimination as the final step when enhancing longer works
  • ⚡ Use enableActionScene: true only for scenes that contain action elements
