Agent Skills for end-to-end story writing in markdown, packaged as Codex and Claude Code plugins.
README preview
<div align="center"> <h1><img src="assets/banner.svg" alt="Story Skills" width="508"></h1> **Agent Skills for planning, tracking, and drafting fiction in markdown.** Story Skills gives agents a shared project format for fiction: a story bible, characters, worldbuilding, factions, artifacts, plot arcs, scenes, continuity state, promises and payoffs, timelines, and chapter drafts. Everything is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter, packaged as standard Agent Skills with Codex and Claude Code plugins. A book can be written in any language: set `language` in `story.md` and the skills draft and edit in it, while the CLI counts, checks, and typesets for it ([Writing in other languages](docs/languages.md)). The companion `story` CLI treats the story bible as a checkable contract. Its **continuity engine** catches dead characters walking, payoffs that land before their setup, unfired Chekhov guns, and stale story state, deterministically, before a reader finds them. <img src="assets/demo.gif" alt="story continuity flags a character who died in chapter 2 but appears in chapter 4, a payoff that lands before its setup, and a question resolved before it is asked" width="900"> Why it works this way: [*Story Skills: a continuity compiler for AI-written fiction*](https://ddewhurst.com/blog/story-skills-continuity-compiler-for-ai-fiction/) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/story-skills) [](LICENSE) [](https://agentskills.io) [](https://developers.openai.com/codex) [](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
