What it does

This skill gives the AI agent a short set of writing rules for story-style content. When installed, the agent starts from a character with a goal, relationship, or conflict instead of an abstract lesson, organizes the outline as a sequence of scenes where each one changes the characters, conflict, or main point, and writes with concrete actions, dialogue, and setting details. It also avoids inventing unsupported details and ends by echoing the opening rather than shouting a slogan.

Great for

  • Writers drafting short stories, case-study narratives, or story-style articles who want the agent to follow a consistent structure
  • Teams using the OpenCreator writing templates who want generated stories to follow the same house style

Skip it if

  • Factual reports, technical documentation, or legal writing where invented narrative detail would be harmful, since the rules favour dramatic scenes over strict sourcing
  • Users expecting the skill to add research or verify facts; it only shapes writing style and contains no sourcing tools

Try asking

  • “Write a short story about two coworkers who disagree over a failed product launch, organised in three scenes.”
  • “Turn this interview transcript into a narrative feature that opens with a specific person and ends by returning to the opening image.”
  • “Draft a story outline for a mystery where each scene changes what the detective knows.”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide concrete source material (facts, names, setting notes) so the agent has details to use instead of needing to invent them.
  • Ask for an outline first, then the full text, to check that each scene moves the story forward.
  • Tell the agent the intended length and audience, since the rules focus on structure and tone rather than specifics.
