Fiction Prose Critique
Analyzes narrative fiction using an adversarial methodology to identify structural, character, and stylistic weaknesses.
The prose-critique skill provides a rigorous review framework for creative writers using Claude Code. Unlike standard AI feedback that may offer vague praise, this skill adopts an adversarial mindset to actively challenge assumptions and identify what isn't working across five key dimensions: structure, character, voice, prose, and continuity. It includes specialized resources for each focus area and can perform mechanical analysis of sentence variety and dialogue ratios. By calibrating its feedback to the draft's current stage—from early structural foundations to late-stage line polishing—it ensures writers receive actionable, non-obvious findings that improve the final reading experience.
