Guides pre-writing story planning: creative direction, brainstorming, outlining and story architecture.
- What it does
- This skill supports decisions made before prose is written. It helps synthesize author-facing creative direction, capture exploratory brainstorming with source tagging, and turn a chosen direction into outline structure covering arcs, chapters, scenes and beats. It routes the agent to the specific resource file needed for each planning task.
- When to use it
- Use it when deciding what should happen in a story or how a story should be structured. It fits outlining, arc design, chapter and scene planning, worldbuilding, character development and continuity timelines. It is not intended for drafting production prose or for critique.
- Requirements
- No scripts or tools are required; it is an instructions-only skill. It relies on the bundled resource markdown files under resources/, which the agent loads selectively.
