/hang-a-lanternFinds the places where the plot depends on luck or does not hold: holes, coincidences, and choices made for the writer's convenience rather than the character's. For each it offers three paths — fix it, hang a lantern on it so the script acknowledges it, or lean in and make it deliberate.
Run one focused pass

One screenplay. One specialist lens. A result you can review where you write.
Parameters you can set when you run /hang-a-lantern.
