Can I use this workflow for short stories or novellas?

Yes, the guide includes simplified workflows for shorter projects (10k-30k words) that focus on the specify, clarify, write, and analyze steps to keep the process lightweight.

What happens if I want to skip the planning phase and start writing?

While the skill recommends the full process for consistency, it supports a 'Minimum Viable Workflow' consisting of just the constitution, specify, and write steps.

What is the seven-step methodology used in this skill?

The methodology follows a logical sequence: /constitution (principles), /specify (requirements), /clarify (resolving ambiguity), /plan (structure), /tasks (action items), /write (AI-assisted drafting), and /analyze (quality check).

How does this skill handle different fiction genres?

The workflow guide automatically triggers specialized sub-skills for genres like Romance, Mystery, or Fantasy as soon as they are mentioned in your story specifications.
