Creative Writing Modes

Load /llm-writing if it is not already loaded. This skill adds the creative-writing layer for putting prose on the page: story pressure, voice, rhythm, omission, ambiguity, genre promise, and reader simulation.

Use the smallest mode that fits the task. Read only the matching section in resources/prose-modes.md unless the prompt explicitly asks for a hybrid pass.

Prose Modes

  • Fresh draft — new prose from a brief, outline, style files, and canon.
  • Revision — change an existing draft from author direction or critique.
  • Bridge / connective tissue — connect scenes, compress time, or shift register.
  • Alternate take — test a meaningfully different execution of the same beat.
  • Line polish — improve rhythm, precision, and texture after structure settles.

Genre Resources

Genre is craft guidance, not a prose mode. When genre expectations shape the pass, load /creative-writing-craft and the relevant resource under resources/genre/ there.

Boundary

This is not a planning or review skill. Use /story-planning before there is a page to write. Use /story-review, /reader-sim, and continuity checking when the page needs judgment. Return here when the next step is to write the prose.
