What This Skill Does

The Chinese Novelist agent skill is a sophisticated writing assistant designed for OpenClaw to help users craft long-form, engaging novels. It guides users through a structured creative process, starting from a 5-question intake survey to define themes, character traits, and core conflicts. Once the foundation is set, the skill automatically generates comprehensive outlines and character dossiers, followed by an iterative, chapter-by-chapter drafting process. It maintains a strict commitment to high-quality prose, requiring each chapter to be 3,000-5,000 words, punctuated by suspenseful 'hooks' at the end of every segment. A key feature of this skill is its mandatory 'Deep Polish' phase, which utilizes specific techniques to remove artificial, machine-generated phrasing, ensuring the final output feels natural, human-like, and emotionally resonant.

Installation

Use Cases

• Aspiring Authors: Overcoming writer's block by using the AI to structure complex, multi-chapter plots.
• Content Creators: Generating consistent, high-quality narrative content for serialization on platforms like Webnovel or Qidian.
• Roleplay Enthusiasts: Building deep, immersive worlds and character backstories for interactive storytelling.
• Creative Writing Practice: Learning from the agent’s systematic approach to scene planning, dialogue, and pacing.

Example Prompts

1. "我想要写一部关于赛博朋克背景下的悬疑推理小说，请帮我开启创作流程。"
2. "帮我构思一个长篇古装言情故事，需要30章的篇幅，主题是关于江湖与朝堂的纠葛。"
3. "我已经写好了开头，现在请使用chinese-novelist技能，按照设定好的大纲继续创作第二章。"

Tips & Limitations

• Proactive Verification: Ensure the '5 Questions' phase is completed thoroughly, as this forms the bedrock of the AI's consistency.
• Monitoring Length: While the AI is instructed to hit 3,000+ words, for extremely complex scenes, verify the output using the integrated word count script to maintain quality.
• Human Oversight: Although the 'Deep Polish' phase significantly reduces AI-typical verbosity, creative writers should still perform a final manual read-through to ensure the tone perfectly aligns with their personal style.
• Contextual Awareness: The agent excels at long-term narrative consistency. Avoid drastically changing plot points midway through without updating the 00-大纲.md file.
