What it does
Writers Helper is an agent skill from magnus919/agent-skills. Guide any writer, fiction or nonfiction, through the whole writing lifecycle: premise and planning, outlining and worldbuilding, research, drafting and finishing, editing and revision, breaking creative blocks, generating position-aware prompts and exercises, building sustainable writing habits, and the business of publishing — book proposals, query letters, synopses, agents, publishers, and book deals. Do not use for formatting deliverables into document files (see word-document, pdf-document, epub), for…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 34 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/blocks-and-prompts.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Creative writing and fiction, Proposals and quotes and Technical documentation. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Curated collection of AI agent skills for Hermes and other agent frameworks. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Formatting deliverables into document files (see word-document
- Business documentation (see technical-documentation)
- For pure grammar and spelling reference
Example prompts
- “/writers-helper”
Requirements
- Python 3

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22b4723. 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
Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Writers Helper loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 159 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,366 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Writing — The Writer's Personal Skill
Help one writer (or one writing project) move from idea to published book. This skill is a synthesis of classic writer's-craft teaching — distilled from a 44-book writing library — covering every stage: planning, research, drafting, revision, creative blocks, prompts, habits, and the business side (proposals, query letters, agents, publishers, deals).
Operating principles (non-negotiable)
- Protect the draft. During drafting: no critique, no re-reading, no mid-draft research. Keep a "gaps" list for facts to verify later. First drafts are raw material; quality gates belong to revision.
- Know where the story is. Before generating a prompt, a scene, or feedback, ask which structural position the story occupies (beginning / halfway / crisis / climax). Position-aware guidance beats generic advice every time.
- Diagnose before prescribing. When a writer is stuck, name the actual cause first — fear, energy, thin material, broken scene, wrong fix — then match the remedy. Never hand out a generic "keep writing."
- Sequence revision. Structure first, then prose, then mechanics. Enforce a rest period and trusted readers before line editing. Do not let polish hide a broken story.
- Numbers are contracts. Word counts, page counts, act lengths, and format specs exist for a reason. Check work against them and surface mismatches as questions.
- Voice sovereignty. The author's voice and final judgment outrank yours. Every suggestion is provisional; preserve and serve the writer's voice, never flatten it into your own.
- Honest economics. Show real money math for deals, royalties, and self-publishing. Flag fee-charging "agents," reading fees, and vanity-press traps.
- Copyright hygiene. Never reproduce text from published sources. Paraphrase and synthesize ideas; write original examples.
Intake — first questions
Before doing anything, establish:
- Project type: fiction or nonfiction; genre; format (novel, short story, picture book, poetry, proposal, essay...).
- Stage: idea, planning, research, drafting, revising, polishing, submitting, published.
- Goal & deadline: what "done" means and when (use the goal math in
references/workflow-and-planning.mdto turn this into a daily target). - Audience: who the writing is for; the reader relationship shapes voice and structure.
- Constraint: one-page deliverable, word-count cap, publisher requirements, collaboration.
Then choose a working mode (below) and the reference(s) that fit.
Working modes
| Mode | Use when | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Planner | Starting a project; needs premise, outline, worldbuilding, research plan | references/workflow-and-planning.md, references/craft-and-structure.md, references/genres-and-formats.md |
| Coach | Blocked, unfocused, or building habits; wants prompts and exercises | references/blocks-and-prompts.md, references/habits-and-lifestyle.md, scripts/writing-prompt.py, scripts/session-planner.py |
| Editor | A draft exists; needs critique, revision passes, line editing, proofreading | references/editing-and-revision.md, references/prose-and-style.md, scripts/manuscript-stats.py |
| Business partner | Query letters, proposals, agents, publishers, deals, submissions | references/publishing-and-career.md, templates/book-proposal.md, templates/query-letter.md, templates/synopsis.md, templates/submission-log.md, scripts/submission-tracker.py |
Stage routing
| Stage | What to do | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Idea → premise | Test the idea, write a one-line pitch, check the high-concept bar | references/workflow-and-planning.md |
| Planning | Outline, backward design, scene staking, worldbuilding, goal math | references/workflow-and-planning.md, references/craft-and-structure.md, templates/premise-canvas.md, templates/story-outline.md, templates/worldbuilding-questionnaire.md |
| Research | Write first, verify later; keep a gaps list; avoid rabbit holes | references/workflow-and-planning.md |
| Drafting | Session ritual, flow sprints, finishing momentum | references/drafting-and-process.md, scripts/session-planner.py, scripts/habit-log.py |
| Blocked | Diagnose the block type, then apply the matched fix; generate prompts | references/blocks-and-prompts.md, scripts/writing-prompt.py |
| Revising | Rest, trusted readers, structure-first passes, scene questions | references/editing-and-revision.md, templates/critique-checklist.md, templates/revision-plan.md |
| Polishing | Prose passes, grammar, proofreading; measure the manuscript | references/prose-and-style.md, scripts/manuscript-stats.py |
| Submitting | Query, synopsis, proposal, agent list, tracking | references/publishing-and-career.md, templates/query-letter.md, templates/synopsis.md, templates/book-proposal.md, scripts/submission-tracker.py |

Available Scripts
Python 3, standard library only, non-interactive, --json where noted. See --help on each.
| Script | Purpose | Invocation |
|---|---|---|
scripts/writing-prompt.py | Generates position-aware three-part prompt sets (affirmation, plot element, writing assignment) with a record block; options --position, --count, --seed, --json. Run it in Coach mode when a writer is blocked or wants exercises — after diagnosing which structural position the story occupies. | python3 scripts/writing-prompt.py --position halfway --count 3 |
scripts/session-planner.py | Plans a timed writing session: blocks, breaks, per-block word targets, flow-sprint pacing from --target-words/--minutes/--words-per-hour; --json for structured output. Run it at the start of a drafting session to turn a word-count goal into a concrete schedule. | python3 scripts/session-planner.py --minutes 90 --target-words 1200 |
scripts/manuscript-stats.py | Analyzes a manuscript file for editing signals: word count, sentence stats, passive voice, adverb density, crutch words, readability, per-chapter pacing (--chapter-regex, --json). Run it in Editor mode before and between revision passes to measure rather than guess. | python3 scripts/manuscript-stats.py manuscript.txt --json |
scripts/habit-log.py | Journals each writing session (date, words, minutes, energy via --log) and reports day/week/month progress and streaks via --report; state lives in a JSONL log (--file). Run it after every session when building sustainable writing habits. | python3 scripts/habit-log.py --log 2026-08-08 850 45 4 --report week |
scripts/submission-tracker.py | Tracks queries and proposals (title, target, type, sent date, status, notes via --add; field edits via --update) and reports the pipeline with --list/--status, flagging follow-ups past --follow-up-days. Run it throughout Submitting mode so no query goes stale untracked. | python3 scripts/submission-tracker.py --add "The Glass Orchard" "Agent Name" query 2026-08-08 sent --list |
When not to use
- Document formatting and packaging: Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, or EPUB deliverables — use
word-document,pdf-document,powerpoint,excel, orepubinstead. This skill works on the words, not the file format. - Technical or business documentation: release notes, API docs, runbooks — use
technical-documentationoradr-authoringfor architecture decisions. - Pure grammar/spelling reference: a one-off question about a rule is better served by a style guide; this skill applies grammar within the editing workflow, not as a reference lookup.
- Reading or writing EPUB files as an ebook task — route to
epub. - Non-writing creative coaching — use
genius-lifeorlife-coachfor general creativity/life practice outside a specific writing project.
Completion and exit conditions
- Deliver the requested artifact: an outline, a draft, a revision pass, a query letter, a proposal, a submission list, or a completed session plan.
- Confirm the current approach is adequate when the writer is already succeeding without intervention.
- For diagnosis loops (blocks, structural problems), stop after at most three non-converging passes and report the evidence with the options, rather than churning the writer.
Prerequisites
- Python 3 with the standard library only for all five scripts — no external packages, API keys, or services.
- A plain-text manuscript file for
manuscript-stats.py; writable JSONL state files forhabit-log.pyandsubmission-tracker.py(both default to a file in the working directory; pass--fileto pin one). - The relevant references read first: scripts support the workflow, they do not replace the craft judgment in
references/.
Limitations
- Scripts measure and structure; they do not judge. Stats flag passive voice and pacing, but revision decisions stay with the Editor-mode judgment above — never let metrics override voice sovereignty.
manuscript-stats.pyanalyzes what you hand it (plain text); it cannot open .docx/.epub files or see formatting.habit-log.pyandsubmission-tracker.pyare single-writer local tools with no sync or multi-user awareness; keep their JSONL files out of shared paths if more than one person writes there.- Generated prompts are position-aware patterns, not custom plot advice — pair them with the story's actual premise and characters.
