What it does

This is the entry point for a suite of Chinese web-fiction writing helpers. When you ask for something like planning a long novel, analysing a published book, or checking a draft for consistency, it works out which specialised helper fits and hands the request off. It can also start a local dashboard in your browser so you can browse and edit your project's Markdown and text files, and it can report whether a newer release of the toolkit exists.

Great for

  • Chinese web-novel authors who want one entry point for planning, drafting, reviewing and cover work
  • Writers who keep a project folder of chapters, outlines and settings and want a local viewer for them
  • People evaluating the oh-story toolkit before installing its full set of skills

Skip it if

  • Users writing in other languages or genres, since the routing rules and keywords are written for Chinese web fiction
  • Anyone expecting it to publish or post to platforms automatically; the files describe no such step
  • Sensitive manuscripts on shared machines, because the dashboard serves local project files to any browser on the machine via a loopback address

Try asking

  • “/story 我想写小说 (then it asks whether it is long or short form)”
  • “/story dashboard to open the project workbench in my browser”
  • “检查更新 to see whether a newer toolkit version is available”
  • “记住我的写作习惯 to route to the author-preference manager”

    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

  • Run /story-setup first in a new project, then start a new session so the writing helpers take effect.
  • The dashboard binds to 127.0.0.1 by default; avoid adding --allow-network unless you understand the exposure.
  • Ask for the update check explicitly; the skill reports versions and waits for your decision before installing anything.
