Writers Toolkit
A Claude plugin with Agent Skills: reusable instruction packages for developing narrative fiction in comics, novels, screenplays, and short stories. Its progressive interview asks one question at a time, pushes past vague answers, and creates standalone Markdown reference documents.
A vague premise, then a story-bible.md reference
The premise is deliberately generic. What follows is the actual story-bible.md structure defined in the repository, not a generated story.

Planning works at four levels
The plan.md schema looks at the same story from four distances, ending in a structure-driven outline.

Choose one route, not every command. Compatible agents use the first command. In Claude Code, run the marketplace registration first and the plugin installation second. First use is a separate step after installation.
For a compatible agent: install with npx skills
npx skills add RubenOAlvarado/writers-toolkitClaude Code only, step 1: register the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add RubenOAlvarado/writers-toolkitClaude Code only, step 2: install the Writers Toolkit plugin
/plugin install writers-toolkit@writers-toolkitStandalone route: for a client that accepts one skill folder, place one skill folder under skills/. Choose this instead of the other installation routes.
First use comes after the route you chose: ask in natural language or invoke /writers-toolkit:new-story
