What it does
Novel Core is an agent skill from manhai934/novel-harness. 当用户使用 /novel-core，或请求写长篇网文、开书、规划剧情、写章节、审稿、去AI味、人性化润色、分析题材参考时使用。该 skill 是 novel-harness 工程的启动入口，会加载 .harness/agents/总编Agent.md，并按 .harness/agents/ 路由到规划、写作、审稿、上下文 Agent。
Its SKILL.md is about 700 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: 一个旨在用 AI 辅助引导老书虫落地网文/小说故事，自带小说管理网页Dashboard，使用了 Harness 架构思想，多个专项 Agent + Skills，同时维护了小说知识包市场.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction
Example prompts
- “/novel-core”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 定位 novel-harness 工程根目录。
- 读取 .harness/agents/总编Agent.md，作为 L1 总编 Agent。
- 读取 .harness/rules/maps/coaching-mode-map.md，判断本轮输出模式。
- 读取 .harness/current-project.md，确认当前小说项目。
- 如果当前项目仍是模板占位，先询问
- 根据任务类型按需读取对应 Agent
- 需要语感、人性化、去 AI 味时，按需读取
- 如果缺少对应题材、平台风格或专项审稿知识包，提示用户可通过 MCP/知识包同步工具安装扩展知识包，并重建 RAG 索引后继续。
- 明确写正文或续写时，按 .harness/rules/maps/draft-output-map.md 处理项目骨架、正文文件和恢复流程。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ba36da. 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
Novel Core loads about 699 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 147 words (~699 tokens).
