Find open-source methods, agent skills, harnesses and apps for getting LLMs to write stories, from the awesome-story-skills index of 800+ projects. Covers novels and web novels, short stories, scripts and short dramas, interactive fiction, tabletop RPG and roleplay, fan fiction and style imitation, and narrative nonfiction (news features, popular science, biography, voiceover scripts).

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
# Storytelling methods
Help the user pick methods and projects for LLM storytelling from the awesome-story-skills index. The index tags every project with a story type (group), the methods it uses, its form (skill / prompts / harness / app / research) and language. The method guide explains each method: the problem, common designs, pitfalls, where to start.
## 1. Get the index
Use a local copy if this repo is checked out (`catalog.json` at the repo root). Otherwise fetch the latest:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UnderleveledBuilder/awesome-story-skills/main/catalog.json -o "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/story-skills-catalog.json"
```
The file is large (700+ entries, one JSON object per line under `entries`). Do not read it whole into context. Filter it with `jq` or `python3`, for example:
```bash
jq -c '.entries[] | select(.group=="novel" and (.methods|index("memory"))) | {repo,format,lang,stars,pushed_at,featured,desc_en,note_en}' "$CATALOG" | head -40
```
Top-level keys `groups` and `methods` list the valid keys with Chinese and English labels:
- groups: `novel`, `short`, `script`, `interactive`, `imitation`, `nonfiction`, `general`

How to install
mdr add underleveledbuilder/awesome-story-skills/storytelling-methods@sha256:f37af0daa679aa34The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.e88be15, 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.
