What it contains
Skills (24)
character-sim— Speak as a specified character from their current knowledge, voice, and emotional state. Use for skill-only workflows that need in-character conversation, voice discovery, or relationship pressure tests.creative-research— Load when a story needs factual grounding the writer doesn't have: historical detail, cultural texture, domain accuracy, or how other authors handled similar material. Pass the question and story context; returns a sourced report the writercreative-writing-craft— Craft references for writing fiction well: prose, scenes, style, voice, and genre/page-level technique. Load when a writer, critic, or muse needs how-to-write guidance rather than a production mode.creative-writing-modes— Creative-writing addendum to /llm-writing. Load when putting prose on the page: draft, revise, bridge, vary, or polish.creative-writing-muse— Load when no subagents are available and one agent must plan, draft, critique, research, and capture memory by switching stances.grill-with-docs— Use when challenging a plan — grills the author against documented decisions and sharpens terminology.information-hierarchy— Load for large human-facing outputs: reports, docs, multi-section explanations, artifacts. Choose the right form for each beat (prose, diagram, table, mockup) and put the answer first, depth behind it. If the medium allows, use progressiveintent-modeling— Use before acting on human instructions: separate what they said from what they meant.kb-management— Maintaining the story knowledge base: creating, updating, and organizing wiki-style reference pages in kb/. Use when capturing finalized story knowledge, updating character profiles, documenting world mechanics, or restructuring the kb.knowledge-layers— Use when deciding where knowledge goes or reading/writing durable docs: AGENTS.md, .context/, KB, docs/, and work directories.llm-writing— Load before writing or revising human-facing text. Choose words deliberately, ground the piece in the reader's context, and remove default LLM phrasing before the final draft.md-validation— Use when validating markdown links or Mermaid diagrams.project-setup— One-time project setup for creative writing. Interviews you about your project, collects writing samples, proposes kb structure, and creates AGENTS.md with project conventions.qi-layer— Use when writing or maintaining AGENTS.md, .context/CONTEXT.md, or a Claude-specific CLAUDE.md: keep intent docs minimal and load-bearing.reader-sim— Read as a specified first-time reader persona and report the felt experience. Use for skill-only workflows when a draft needs persona-bound reader-response signal instead of analytical critique.reflect— Use when the user invokes it before you report: checks you delivered what they needed, not only what they literally asked, and routes knowledge capture.shared-dao— Shared vocabulary for creative writing projects. Load when establishing canonical story terms, resolving ambiguous names, checking term consistency, or deciding where vocabulary belongs in kb/.story-memory— Creative-writing domain knowledge for durable story state. Load when preserving or retrieving project memory — fact extraction, context scoping, reference writing, artifact layout, and issue tracking. If you are a knowledge agent such as kbstory-planning— Planning work before prose: creative direction, story-planning, outlining, and story architecture. Load when deciding what should happen or how a story should be structured.story-review— Review work after prose exists: editorial review, craft critique, continuity/voice review, copyediting, proofreading, and synthesis of reader-sim signal. Load when diagnosing a draft rather than rewriting it.structured-artifact— Load when creating structured HTML artifacts to explain and present information.writing-principles— What fiction readers want (reader reward channels) and the specific ways LLM training damages them. Load when drafting prose, critiquing, or diagnosing why a passage feels flat.writing-staffing— Dispatch reference for composing writing teams. Teaches which skills to load for each subagent, which resources to reference, and when to fan out versus run parallel lanes. Load when staffing a workflow.zoom-out— Use when orienting in an unfamiliar area — fans out exploration across structure, knowledge, and history, then synthesizes one orientation map.
