SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long-form fiction projects lose stylistic consistency when writing rules live only in chat prompts. This Skill turns proven prose techniques into persistent, editable writing assets stored in output/novel/meta/writing_assets.json, so style rules survive across chapters, arcs, and sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Asset lifecycle management: List, seed defaults, enable, disable, and recompile writing features via the novel-studio CLI. - Presets and scoped binding: Combine features into reusable presets and bind them to a book, volume, arc, chapter, or trial scope. - Trial writing tasks: Generate editable trial task sheets in output/novel/meta/writing_trials/ to test rules like object callbacks, subjective misjudgment, and chapter goal/resistance/cost structure before applying them. - Use Case: After validating that "every chapter answers goal/resistance/cost/new information" improves readability, distill it into a feature, add it to a preset, and bind that preset to the current arc so all future chapters inherit the rule. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to list the current writing feature pool and enable or trial a specific writing rule for your novel project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage reusable writing style rules for AI novel generation?

Use the novel-studio --writing-assets commands to list, enable, disable, and compile writing features stored in writing_assets.json. Features can be combined into presets and bound to a book, arc, chapter, or trial scope.

How do I test a writing rule before applying it to my novel?

Run novel-studio --writing-assets trial with a description of the scene to generate an editable trial task sheet in output/novel/meta/writing_trials/. This lets you validate rules like object callbacks or chapter goal structure before binding them.

Does seed-defaults overwrite my existing writing features?

No. The seed-defaults command only adds missing default features, presets, and book bindings. It does not overwrite user-created features or re-enable features the user has already disabled.

Can disabled writing features still affect chapter generation?

No. Features with enabled=false are excluded from reference_pack.writing_engine.active_rules, and features bound to other scopes do not leak into the current chapter's render packet.

What are the limitations of writing asset features?

Features must be written as executable, reusable rules rather than vague goals or copied sample sentences. Original sample text may only inform rhythm and framing; generated prose must not reuse sample sentences verbatim.
