Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/comedy.md`, `references/fantasy.md` and `references/historical.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for end-to-end story writing in markdown, packaged as Codex and Claude Code plugins. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a54e04. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Genre Craft loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,233 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Genre Craft
Overview
Genre-specific structural packs: the codified craft each genre expects, as checkable rules, ledgers, and audits. Packs cover mystery (fair play + clue ledger), romance (beats + HEA contract), thriller (ticking clock, power imbalance, set pieces), horror (dread/terror ordering, monster rules), MG/YA (category constraints), science fiction (load-bearing speculative elements), fantasy (quest structure, magic paid off by its rules and costs), historical fiction (period voice, anachronisms, real people), comedy (escalation, comic set-ups and payoffs, tone), and serial/episodic structure. Use at story-init (pick the pack, set the constraints) and in revision (run the pack's audit).
Prerequisites
A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill) with
its genre recorded in story.md. A plot structure (plot-structure) should
exist or be in progress.
When to Use
- Starting or re-categorizing a story in one of the covered genres
- Planning genre load-bearing elements (clues, clocks, season goals)
- Auditing a draft against its genre's contract
- NOT for line-level genre voice (that belongs to the
better-writingskill's genre work); these packs are structural - NOT for literary fiction as a pack — its conventions resist deterministic encoding by design
Workflow
- Pick the pack. Read
story.mdfor genre/sub-genre and load the matching reference:- Mystery / crime / detective →
references/mystery-fair-play.md - Romance →
references/romance-beats.md - Thriller / action / suspense →
references/thriller.md - Horror →
references/horror.md - Middle grade / young adult →
references/mg-ya.md - Science fiction →
references/scifi-pipeline.md - Fantasy (epic, quest, secondary-world) →
references/fantasy.md - Historical fiction →
references/historical.md - Comedy (romantic comedy, farce, satire, cosy comedy) →
references/comedy.md; a cosy mystery not played for laughs needs only the mystery pack - Serial / episodic / web serial →
references/serial-episodic.md - Multi-genre stories: load each applicable pack; where packs conflict
(e.g. horror's slow dread vs. thriller's cliffhangers), decide with
the user which genre's contract dominates per section and record the
decision in
story.mdnotes.
- Mystery / crime / detective →
- Set the constraints up front. Apply the pack's structural
requirements during planning:
- Mystery: create
continuity/clues/and ledger every clue and red herring viastory add clue '...' --planted chapter-NN --payoff chapter-NN, withsignificance-delayedfrontmatter where the reader sees the clue before understanding it andred-herring: trueon misleading clues (story add clue '...' --red-herring; theirpayoffis the chapter that debunks them). Runstory clues .for the fair-play matrix andstory diagram cluesfor the plant-to-reveal flow. - Thriller: log every promised deadline in
continuity/promises/and give every scene adateandtime, sostory timeline .shows the story clock. - Serial: record
season-goal:instory.mdandepisode-question:in each installment's frontmatter, and the release cadence asrelease-every:(days, or months such as1 month) andrelease-start:(YYYY-MM-DD) instory.md, orrelease-date:on a chapter.story next .shows the next episode due and warns when one due withinrelease-warn-days:(default 3) has no prose. - MG/YA: record
target-words:instory.mdand check the category constraints (protagonist age, minimized adult involvement). - Sci-fi: write the speculative element's rules, costs, and limits in
worldbuilding/systems/before the climax exploits them. - Fantasy: write the magic's rules, costs, and limits in
worldbuilding/systems/(theworldbuildingskill designs them) and log the quest goal and any prophecy incontinuity/promises/. - Historical: record
setting-erainstory.md, the chosen period register in the style sheet, and aresearch/note (theresearchskill) for every fact the plot leans on and every real person; run theeditorial-reviewreal-people pass for anyone living or recently dead. - Comedy: record the comic sub-genre in
story.md, the tone line (where comedy stops) in its## Tone & Stylesection, each comic lead's flaw in their character file, and each running gag or call-back the reader is owed a payoff on as one promise incontinuity/promises/. Sentence-level comic timing belongs to theline-editingskill.
- Mystery: create
- Draft against the pack. Use the pack's beat concepts and rules
alongside the
chapter-writingworkflow and thescene-craftscene-grain tools. Cross-link thriller pacing to the Fichtean curve note inreferences/thriller.md, and check thriller and serial chapter endings withstory pacing .(chapterhookvalues, and runs ofresolutionendings); cross-link serial book-level canon to theseries-continuityskill. - Run the pack audit in revision. Each reference ends with an audit
checklist. Run it as part of a developmental revision pass (see the
revision-continuityskill) and record findings in the revision plan. - Record genre decisions. Any deliberate deviation from the pack (a
romance without a black moment, a mystery that withholds) is a story
decision: note it in
story.mdwith the reason, so later audits don't "fix" it.

Conventions
- Pack-specific entities use the project conventions: kebab-case ids,
YAML frontmatter,
_index.mdregistries where a collection exists (continuity/clues/follows thecontinuity/promises/pattern). - Clue
plantedmust precedepayoff(story continuityflags payoff-before- plant as an error); deadline promises follow the same ordering logic as promise/question ordering. - Clues carry the links: each clue names its
plantedandpayoffchapters and, undercharacters, the suspects it implicates or clears, andstory linkschecks those ids. Character files have no clue field; to list a suspect's clues, runstory list clues --where characters={character-id}. - Genre audits live in the revision plan or
continuity/audit files — never only in chat.
CLI Maintenance
Use the Story CLI when it is available. If story is not installed, use the bundled fallback node ../story-maintenance/scripts/story.js with the same arguments. Use node <checkout>/bin/story.js instead only when the user names a Story Skills repository checkout or you are working in one. Write the script as an absolute path (resolve the fallback relative to this skill folder) and run it from the folder you would run story from, so . and other relative paths keep their meaning. Use Node, not Bun or a package script: Bun would load that folder's bunfig.toml (which can run code) and .env, and a package script runs from the checkout's root. If no CLI is available, perform the registry, backlink, and word-count checks manually.
After adding or changing genre entities (clues, deadlines, comic set-ups, season goals, episode questions):

Shared Conventions
Every story skill follows the shared conventions in ../story-maintenance/references/conventions.md, resolved relative to this skill folder. Read it before creating, renaming, or linking story files. If that file is missing because this skill was installed without story-maintenance, the essentials are: kebab-case ids and filenames, YAML frontmatter on every story-project file, _index.md registry tables that story reindex rebuilds (never edit them by hand), bidirectional links between entities, characters for who is on the page and mentions for who is only referred to, status: deceased plus died-in: chapter-{NN} for deaths, and no project-local generator or build scripts (run only the installed or bundled Story CLI).
