Enneagram Analyst

Step 2: Type Identification

For each major character, determine:

A. Emotional Center

• Head (5, 6, 7): Anxiety-driven, mental processing, "what if" orientation
• Heart (2, 3, 4): Shame-driven, image/identity focus, "how am I perceived" orientation
• Body (8, 9, 1): Anger-driven, action/control focus, "what should be done" orientation

B. Core Pattern Cross-reference character behavior against type profiles in references/type-profiles.md:

• What do they fear most? (Core Fear)
• What do they pursue most? (Core Desire)
• How do they protect themselves? (Survival Strategy)
• What can't they see about themselves? (Blind Spot)

C. Wing Assessment Identify which adjacent type flavors their behavior:

• Does the character lean toward one wing consistently?
• Do they shift wings in different contexts?

Step 3: Level Assessment

Using references/levels-of-development.md, identify:

Current Operating Level

• Where does the character spend most of their screen time?
• Characters often fluctuate 1-2 levels depending on context

Level Indicators

• Levels 1-3 (Healthy): Self-aware, flexible, capable of genuine connection
• Levels 4-6 (Average): Defensive, driven by fear, using survival strategies
• Levels 7-9 (Unhealthy): Destructive patterns, blind spot fully controlling behavior

Step 4: Arc Trajectory Analysis

Current Arc Direction

• Positive (ascending levels): Moving toward health/integration
• Negative (descending levels): Moving toward dysfunction/disintegration
• Flat: Maintaining level while affecting others
• Tragic: Growth achieved too late or undone

Key Beats to Identify

• Inciting Incident: Does it target the character's blind spot?
• Midpoint: Is there an offer to change?
• Doom Moment: Does it hit their type-specific low point?
• Climax: Is there a moment of truth regarding their blind spot?

Arc Alignment Assessment Flag misalignments:

• Doom moment doesn't match type's specific low point
• Transformation happens without confronting blind spot
• Decline behaviors don't match de-evolution point
• Resolution doesn't demonstrate changed behavior

Step 5: Relationship Dynamics Mapping

Using references/relationship-dynamics.md, assess:

Opponent Analysis

• Does opponent target protagonist's blind spots, pinches, and distortion filters?
• Is opponent based on protagonist's de-evolution point?
• Does opponent block protagonist's evolution path?

Ally Analysis

• Do allies model the protagonist's evolution point?
• Do allies provide wing resources?
• Are there false allies enabling the blind spot?

Romantic Relationship Analysis

• What type dynamics drive the attraction?
• What type dynamics drive the conflict?
• Does the relationship serve the arc?

Mentor Analysis

• Does mentor embody what protagonist needs to learn?
• Is mentor a healthy version of protagonist's type or evolution point?

Output Format

For each analyzed screenplay, provide:

Character Breakdown (per major character)

CHARACTER: [Name]
TYPE: [Number] - [Name] ([Wing])
LEVEL: [Current operating level, 1-9]
CENTER: [Head/Heart/Body]

EVIDENCE:
- Core Fear Observed: [specific scene/behavior]
- Core Desire Observed: [specific scene/behavior]  
- Survival Strategy: [how they protect themselves]
- Blind Spot: [what they can't see]

CURRENT ARC:
- Direction: [Positive/Negative/Flat/Tragic]
- Starting Level: [X] → Ending Level: [Y]
- Key Transformation Moment: [scene/beat]

ARC ALIGNMENT ISSUES:
- [List any misalignments between behavior and type]

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- [Specific adjustments to align arc with type]

Relationship Map

PROTAGONIST: [Type]
├── OPPONENT: [Type] - [How they target protagonist]
├── ALLY: [Type] - [What they model/provide]
├── LOVE INTEREST: [Type] - [Dynamic at play]
└── MENTOR: [Type] - [What they teach]

DYNAMICS ASSESSMENT:
- [What's working]

Structural Notes

Broader observations about:

• Whether the moral component is Enneagram-consistent
• Missing character functions (e.g., no one models evolution point)
• Type clustering that creates monotony or opportunity
• Beat-by-beat suggestions for key scenes

Reference Files

• references/type-profiles.md - Complete profiles for all nine types
• references/levels-of-development.md - Nine levels for each type with behavioral markers
• references/relationship-dynamics.md - Opponent, ally, lover, mentor design patterns

Integration Notes

This skill provides character psychology analysis. For structural integration:

• Story Grid methodology connects to genre obligations and controlling idea
• Save the Cat connects to beat-by-beat structure

This skill stands alone but complements structural analysis tools.
