 ## Usage notes
 
 - Ask one question at a time. The runtime's clarify tool with multiple-choice options works best.
-- Not all 13 questions are needed every session. If the user's initial request already answers some axes, skip those.
-- The questions can be asked in any order, but platform → narrative style → planning mode → effect density → editor tool is a natural priority flow.
+- Not all 14 questions are needed every session. If the user's initial request already answers some axes, skip those.
+- The questions can be asked in any order, but platform → narrative style → editing strategy → planning mode → effect density → editor tool is a natural priority flow.
 - If the user wants a full edit plan, ask the planning-mode question early so you know whether to produce one recommended timeline or multiple alternative strategies.
 - If a `grill-me` skill is available, it can be loaded to add follow-up depth questions beyond this template.
