What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by haowjy/creative-writing-skills in skills/creative-writing-craft/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

How fiction works on the page: prose technique, scene mechanics, and style analysis. This is the how-to-write layer. /writing-principles carries the reader-reward model and failure-mode diagnostics; /creative-writing-modes carries the production modes for putting prose on the page.

Load only the resource needed for the task:

  • resources/prose-writing.md — psychic distance, free indirect discourse, rhythm, sensory grounding, interiority, POV.
  • resources/scene-construction.md — scene entry, dialogue, pacing, transitions.
  • resources/style-analysis.md — analyzing prose samples and producing style reference files.
  • resources/genre/ — genre-specific craft guidance when genre promise shapes the page.
