This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a chapter", "next chapter", "chapter outline", "draft chapter", "continue the story", "write a scene", "outline a chapter", or wants to write prose for a story project.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Chapter Writing ## Overview Write story chapters using an outline-first workflow. Gathers context from all other story elements (characters, world, plot) to maintain consistency, builds a beat-by-beat outline for approval, then writes full prose. After writing, updates all cross-references (chapter index, timeline, foreshadowing). ## Prerequisites A story project must already exist with at least: - `story.md` (story bible) - At least one character in `characters/` - A plot structure in `plot/_index.md` (recommended but not required for first chapters) ## Outline-First Workflow ### 1. Gather Context Read these files to understand the current story state: - `story.md` - genre, themes, POV, tense - `chapters/_index.md` - what's been written, current word count - `plot/_index.md` - arc status, what needs to happen next - `plot/timeline.md` - chronological position If this isn't the first chapter, also read: - The previous chapter file - for continuity (ending state, cliffhangers, emotional tone) - Active arc files in `plot/arcs/` - for upcoming plot beats ### 2. Determine Chapter Scope Ask the user: - What should this chapter cover? (or suggest based on plot arcs) …

How to install
mdr add bs779517/story-skills/chapter-writing@sha256:c81a6ae418026b1fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260212.9c72eb5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
