# How can an agent generate and test a "new twist" on a stock situation, using only what Esenwein and Leeds (1919) teach, and which steps are 1919 practice versus this worker's proposal?

Proposal (synthesis), built on 1919 practice. The 1919 steps are: log the germ and its origin; keep only one situation; change the pillars (setting, moral position, method, carrier and every incident) rather than the setting alone; put the departure at the climax; compare the incident sequence with the source; screen against recent and hackneyed work. Added as proposals, not in the text: write the 'easiest way' outline first and require divergence from it, and a cold-reader prediction test motivated by the quoted reviewer's complaint that the reader knows 'just how the plot will work out'. The AI link is a hypothesis; a three-arm test is proposed, not run.

Curator qualifications: 8-step technique labels each step 1919 practice or proposal; three-arm L10 test not run; AI link hypothesis only.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
