What it does
Plan Novel is an agent skill from forsonny/Claude-Code-Novel-Writer. Create or substantially revise a novel premise, structure, chapter plan, character arcs, and required world foundations. Use for a new novel or major structural replan.
Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: Use Claude Code CLI to write full novels.
When your agent uses it
- Major structural replan
- Tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction
Example prompts
- “/plan-novel”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve the repository root and inspect planning/, characters/, worldbuilding/, and manuscript/chapters/.
- Treat substantial manuscript prose as canon unless the user explicitly requests a retcon.
- Read .agents/roles/plot-architect.md.
- If the harness exposes a named plot-architect specialist, delegate a bounded planning task to it. Otherwise perform that role directly.
- Use character-developer and worldbuilder only for foundations that materially affect the plan.
- Create causally connected chapter purposes, turning points, setups, payoffs, and character decisions.
- Write or update planning/novel-outline.json.
- Record unresolved creative choices as explicit questions or provisional decisions, not hidden assumptions.
- Run ./sync-state.sh when tracking needs initialization or reconciliation.
- Summarize the premise, structural shape, major arcs, chapter count, open decisions, and next recommended drafting action.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 017cd8b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Plan Novel loads about 316 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 133 words (~316 tokens).
