A Codex skill for fiction planning, chapter drafting, scene continuation, and revision that stays concrete about narrative problems instead of giving vague workshop-style feedback.

## Why Use It

This skill is meant for longform fiction work where narrative judgment matters.

It helps Codex:

- plan chapters and scenes with actual narrative function - draft or continue fiction prose without collapsing everything into summary - review prose with concrete findings instead of soft impressions - protect style-bearing material during revision - check whether scenes obey realism and access limits

## Good Fit

Use this repo when the task is mainly about fiction craft:

- chapter or scene planning - prose continuation - rewrite while preserving voice - structural review of a chapter - character introduction quality - realism constraints inside a scene

If your main problem is project recovery, chapter-state tracking, or workspace governance across a large novel, use [novel-project-strategy](https://github.com/wgwtest/novel-project-strategy) alongside this skill.

## Example Prompts

- `Use novel-writing. Review this chapter and give concrete findings with locations, not vague feedback.` - `Plan a chapter that introduces the rival clearly and moves the relationship forward.` - `Continue this scene without flattening the author's voice or cutting style-bearing detail.`
