AI Novel Project Starter: Build Your Story's Core Framework

AI Novel Project Starter: Build Your Story's Core Framework

The AI Novel Project Starter skill is designed to initialize the foundational structure of a new long-form novel project. It generates essential documentation, including an RTK.md file, a novel outline, chapter outlines, backstory review, foreshadowing checklist, memorable quotes, character profiles, and a directory for writing techniques. This skill serves as a crucial preparatory step for subsequent development stages such as writing, synchronization, and review.

What this skill does

• Establishes a standardized directory and foundational documentation for a novel project using the novel-init capability.
• Integrates with Claude Code or similar AI coding agents to fill templates located in the `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/` directory.
• Collects project metadata through user prompts, ensuring required fields such as book title, genre, target audience profile, key characters, and writing platform are completed.
• Renders project templates with collected metadata, including:
  • RTK.md: Project-level writing rules and workflow settings.
  • AGENTS.md: Entry file referencing RTK.md for automated loading.
  • 小说大纲.md and 章节大纲.md: Overarching and chapter-level outlines.
  • 人物档案.md: Individual files for each main character.
  • Additional files for foreshadowing, memorable quotes, and accumulated writing techniques.

Who it is for

• Authors and novelists starting a new long-term writing project.
• Developers using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex needing structured content frameworks.
• Writing teams collaborating on novel projects who require organized workflow and documentation.

Use cases

• Initiating a comprehensive storyline framework for a new novel before beginning the writing process.
• Setting up foundational project documentation required for collaborative writing efforts.
• Preparing structured and consistent project files that enhance long-term project development and review.

Technical details

• Integrates with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Utilizes templates stored in CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT for creating structured project documentation.
• Requires execution within the intended novel project directory.
