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.
