≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Storybuilder is a suite of skills designed to help someone use AI to write a fiction novel without generating a single word for you. AI-assisted, but NEVER AI generated. It consists of the following skills:
/storybuilder-brainstorm - takes a [braindump] of details from the writer and helps you produce a high level series outline for the given [genre] including [genre_tropes].
/storybuilder-bible - create a [story_bible] that uses the [braindump], [genre] and [genre_tropes] to create a high level story bible which includes a [character_list], [worldbuilding] and [outline].
/storybuilder-bible-audit - looks for plot holes, inconsistencies, or flaws in a [story_bible] and including suggestions on how to fix them.
/storybuilder-scene - creates a [scene-brief] for a specific chapter in the [outline] from a [story_bible].
/storybuilder-improvement-plan - takes a first draft of a [chapter] and [previous_chapter] if relevant and provides an [improvement_plan] to correct issues in the [chapter].
/storybuilder-charactersheet - creates an advanced [character_sheet] for a specific [character] using a slider rubric and your [story_bible].
Storybuilder Flow This is a high level look at how to use the storybuilder to help the user create a first draft of their story using the storybuilder skills.
- Brainstorm
- Story bible a. characters b. worldbuilding c. high level outline d. Audit the story bible and implement the changes e. Repeat the audit on the updated story bible until no more flaws/inconstancies exist
- Create a charactersheet for each major character in the story bible
- Select a chapter to work on from the outline a. generate a scene brief for the chapter b. generate a performance improvement plan for the chapter
- Repeat step 4 for the next chapter, continue until all chapters have been addressed from the outline.
Your Task Prompt the user for the title and genre of their story and ask if this is a new story and if they want you to take them through the full storybuilder flow. Ask them to dump a brainstorm of their story idea. Relentlessly grill the user until they have a completed a story bible, character sheets, world building and outline of all chapters in their story. Otherwise ask the user which part of their story they're working on and prompt them to use the appropriate skill for their needs or the outcome they are trying to achieve. Use the skills above for each step in the process.
