SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask an AI to help write a novel, the request is often vague—"help me write a book" could mean outlining a long serial, drafting a short story, removing AI-sounding prose, or analyzing an existing work. This Skill acts as the entry point for a web novel toolbox, detecting your intent and dispatching it to the correct specialized skill so nothing gets misrouted. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Intent-Based Routing: Matches keywords like "write long-form", "short story", "de-AI", or "analyze this story" to the right downstream skill such as novel-write, story-short-analyze, or story-deslop. - novel-studio Pipeline Integration: When the novel-studio engine is present in the repository, all native writing requests are routed to its deterministic pipeline instead of free-form generation. - Project State Awareness: Checks for existing book projects, deployment markers, and supports switching between multiple active books via an .active-book file. - Use Case: You type "I want to write a novel" without specifics; the Skill asks whether you mean long-form or short-form, checks whether your project environment is initialized, and then routes you to the correct writing pipeline. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant "I want to write a web novel" and let the story router ask about your goals and dispatch you to the right writing skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about story

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I start writing a web novel with AI assistance?

State your intent such as "I want to write a novel" and the router will ask whether you want long-form or short-form, check your project state, and dispatch you to the appropriate writing skill. If no project exists, it directs you to run the setup skill first.

What happens when my writing request is ambiguous?

The router extracts intent keywords and matches them against a routing table covering long-form, short-form, analysis, de-AI, and setup tasks. If no match is found, it asks you to clarify your goal before dispatching.

Can I switch between multiple novel projects?

Yes. The router scans for book directories containing tracking or settings subdirectories, lists them with the current active book marked, and writes your selection to an .active-book file at the project root.

Does the story router generate novel text directly?

No. When the novel-studio engine is present, all writing, continuation, and rewriting requests must route to the novel-studio pipeline. Direct free-form chapter generation is explicitly forbidden by the routing rules.

What happens if the story-explorer agent is unavailable?

The router performs a lightweight availability check before spawning agents. If the agent is unavailable, it falls back to direct file lookup using read and grep operations in the main thread, marking the response with a fallback notice.
