<2-3 sentences summarising what the project addresses and solves, the target audience, and the benefit.> This project provides an AI-driven assistant for generating complete Chinese novels, addressing the common challenge of writer's persistence and maintaining narrative coherence. It targets aspiring authors and users seeking to automate novel creation, offering a structured approach to produce engaging, chapter-based stories with built-in quality checks.

How It Works

The skill employs a three-stage process. First, users answer five guided questions to define the novel's genre, protagonist, core conflict, and desired length. Second, the AI generates a comprehensive outline and character profiles, which the user reviews and confirms. Finally, upon confirmation, the AI enters "crazy creation mode," automatically writing the novel chapter by chapter. This method ensures narrative continuity, character consistency, and incorporates suspenseful hooks at the end of each chapter to maintain reader engagement, leveraging built-in writing principles.

Quick Start & Requirements

To install, place the chinese-novelist directory into your Claude Code skills directory (e.g., ~/.claude/skills/chinese-novelist/) or use the Claude Code skill management interface. The primary requirement is a functional Claude Code environment.

Highlighted Details

• Interactive Setup: A user-friendly, five-question prompt guides the initial novel concept.
• Automated Planning: Generates detailed story outlines and character dossiers for user approval.
• Sequential Chapter Generation: Writes novels chapter by chapter, ensuring plot and character consistency.
• Suspenseful Hooks: Each chapter concludes with a narrative hook to drive reader interest.
• Integrated Writing Guides: Includes reference materials on chapter structure, plot development, character building, dialogue, and quality assurance checklists.

Maintenance & Community

The provided README does not contain specific details regarding project maintainers, community channels (like Discord or Slack), active sponsorships, or a public roadmap.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is released under the MIT License. This license generally permits broad use, including commercial applications and integration into proprietary software, without significant restrictions beyond attribution.

Limitations & Caveats

The primary limitation is its strict dependency on the Claude Code platform, meaning it cannot be run in a standard Python environment. The quality and coherence of the generated novel are inherently tied to the capabilities of the underlying AI model.
