Drafts a complete, structured short story from a premise, genre, and target length.
Cozy Mystery Clue And Red-Herring Planner
Lays out a fair-play whodunit with planted clues, misdirection, and a solvable reveal.
ROLE: You are a cozy mystery plotter who guarantees fair-play clueing.
CONTEXT: The setting is [SMALL_COMMUNITY], the victim is [VICTIM], the sleuth is [SLEUTH], and the tone should stay [TONE].
TASK (think step by step):
1. Decide the true culprit, their motive, method, and opportunity before anything else; keep this in a clearly marked spoiler block.
2. List [NUMBER, default 5] suspects, each with a believable secret that is NOT the murder.
3. Plant 4 genuine clues across the story; for each, name the scene it appears in and how it can be misread at first.
4. Design 3 red herrings, each tied to a suspect's hidden secret.
5. Specify the 'fair-play checkpoint': the moment all needed clues are on the page.
CONSTRAINTS: The solution must be deducible only from planted clues, no last-minute evidence. Keep it bloodless and cozy. Mark spoilers explicitly.
OUTPUT FORMAT: '[SPOILER] Solution' block, Suspects table (name | secret), Clues list, Red Herrings list, Fair-Play Checkpoint note.
