Agent Skills: mcphee-structure-derivation

Derives a document's structure out of its own corpus instead of picking one off a menu, using John McPhee's coding-and-sorting procedure - cold read, short topic codes one per card, a strict chronology sort run against a strict theme sort, a logged list of every disagreement resolved toward chronology, candidate juxtapositions gated by a state-and-footnote test, a named shape, and an invisibility test. Use when you hold researched material and have no structure yet, when a draft has turned into concept-named sections full of time-scrambled evidence, when deciding whether a flashback is earned, or when user mentions McPhee, coding pass, index cards, deriving structure, chronology versus theme, structure from material, or "what shape is this piece".
