What does this agent skill do?
Creative Writing Modes
Load /llm-writing if it is not already loaded. This skill adds the
creative-writing layer for putting prose on the page: story pressure, voice,
rhythm, omission, ambiguity, genre promise, and reader simulation.
Use the smallest mode that fits the task. Read only the matching section in
resources/prose-modes.md unless the prompt explicitly asks for a hybrid pass.
Prose Modes
- Fresh draft — new prose from a brief, outline, style files, and canon.
- Revision — change an existing draft from author direction or critique.
- Bridge / connective tissue — connect scenes, compress time, or shift register.
- Alternate take — test a meaningfully different execution of the same beat.
- Line polish — improve rhythm, precision, and texture after structure settles.
Genre Resources
Genre is craft guidance, not a prose mode. When genre expectations shape the pass, load /creative-writing-craft and the relevant resource under resources/genre/ there.
Boundary
This is not a planning or review skill. Use /story-planning before there is a page to write.
Use /story-review, /reader-sim, and continuity checking when the page needs judgment. Return here when the next step is to write the prose.
