What happens if I already have a book outline?

You can import your existing outline during the /specify phase. The skill will help you format it into a structured plan that enables advanced tracking and analysis features.

How does it handle story consistency?

By creating a machine-readable 'specification' in the early stages, the skill allows Claude to track character details, plot points, and world rules throughout the entire writing process.

Does this skill work with different genres?

Yes, it automatically activates specific sub-skills for genres like Romance, Mystery, or Fantasy based on your story specifications.

What is the 7-step novel writing methodology?

It is a structured process involving Constitution (principles), Specify (details), Clarify (ambiguities), Plan (structure), Tasks (execution), Write (AI-assisted drafting), and Analyze (quality check).

Can I use this for short stories instead of full novels?

Yes, the workflow is adaptable. For short stories, it recommends a simplified four-step version: specify, clarify, write, and analyze.
