Summary

This project addresses the common issue of AI-generated fiction feeling generic, like outlines, or like cliché compilations. It offers a method to generate complete, engaging Chinese short fiction by first defining plot strategies, narrative hooks, character desires, and conflict escalation, before drafting. This benefits users who want original, high-quality AI-assisted fiction without the typical AI "flavor," providing more control over the narrative outcome.

How It Works

The project tackles the common issue of AI-generated fiction feeling generic by reversing the typical writing process. Instead of direct prose generation, it first transforms a story idea into a selectable plot strategy. This involves defining reader promises, pressure relationships, conflict arenas, and narrative hooks. Users can then choose options or request a plot strategy before drafting. The system reconstructs classic tropes by deconstructing them into functional components, avoiding direct replication. It also incorporates an 'anti-AI flavor' check to eliminate common AI writing pitfalls like formulaic comparisons and summary tones.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: npx skills add joeseesun/qiaomu-novel-generator
• Prerequisites: Node.js, npm/npx, an Agent environment supporting "agent skills" (e.g., Codex, Claude Code), and network access for research-based remixing.
• Links: Author's personal website (https://qiaomu.ai), blog (https://blog.qiaomu.ai), X (https://x.com/vista8), GitHub (https://github.com/joeseesun/).

Highlighted Details

Limitations & Caveats

Strictly avoids copyright infringement by not copying protected text, famous scenes, character names, or specific plot chains. It does not imitate the unique personal style of living authors. Output quality depends on input specificity; vague prompts may lead to generic results. Opening hooks are checked for clarity to avoid misleading readers about the genre or core situation.
