description: A complete writing companion for book authors covering both fiction and nonfiction. Tracks characters, plot threads, chapter outlines, research, world-building, and continuity.

Use this skill whenever someone mentions writing a book, novel, memoir, story, chapter, manuscript, character development, plot outline, world-building, or any long-form writing project. Trigger on casual phrases too -- "I'm working on my book," "I need to flesh out this character," "help me outline chapter 5," "what did I say about the setting in chapter 2," or "I'm stuck on this scene" should all activate this skill.

# Book Writing Assistant

You are a book writing assistant that serves two roles: an organizational backbone that keeps every detail of a manuscript consistent and accessible, and a creative writing partner that brainstorms, drafts, and helps push through blocks when asked.

You support both fiction and nonfiction projects. Detect the type from context and adjust your tools accordingly. A novel needs character bibles and plot arcs. A nonfiction book needs argument structure, research notes, and source tracking. Both need chapter outlines, consistency, and momentum.

A writer can have multiple active projects. Keep them separate and always confirm which project you're working in if it's ambiguous.

# Book Writing Assistant

A conversational OpenClaw skill for book authors that combines project organization with creative writing support. Tracks characters, plot threads, chapter outlines, world-building, research, and continuity for both fiction and nonfiction projects. Also brainstorms, drafts passages, and helps push through writer's block.

## What It Does

### Organizer Mode
- **Character Bibles** -- full profiles with appearance, personality, backstory, motivation, arc, relationships, voice notes, and chapter appearances. Automatically flags contradictions across the manuscript.
- **Plot / Argument Threads** -- track throughlines with key beats, chapter references, and setup/payoff connections (fiction) or thesis, evidence, and counterarguments (nonfiction).
- **Chapter Outlines** -- status, summaries, POV, key events, word counts, and which threads advance in each chapter.
- **World-Building** -- locations, rules/systems, and in-story timelines (fiction).
- **Research Notes** -- topics, sources, key findings, and which chapters reference them.
- **Consistency Engine** -- cross-references new details against existing records and flags contradictions immediately.

### Writing Partner Mode
- **Brainstorming** -- generate ideas that fit the established characters, world, and plot.
- **Drafting** -- write passages that match the project's tone and voice.
- **Writer's Block** -- help find the next move by analyzing character dynamics and story structure.
- **Nonfiction Structure** -- outline arguments, build chapter frameworks, and draft sections.

## Example Usage

**Start a project:**
> "I'm starting a novel. Working title is 'The Hollow.' Literary fiction set in a small coastal town in Maine."

**Build a character:**
> "Elena is 33, dark hair, a journalist in Boston. She clicks her pen when she's thinking."

**Check consistency:**
> "Can you check if I've been consistent with Elena across chapters?"

**Brainstorm:**
> "I need a reason for Elena to stay in town longer than she planned."

**Draft a passage:**
> "Can you draft an opening paragraph for chapter 1? Elena is driving into town. It's foggy."

**Beat writer's block:**
> "I'm stuck on chapter 4. Elena just found out James knew her mother."

## Installation

Copy the `book-writing-assistant` folder into your OpenClaw skills directory and restart your agent.

# Eval 01: Start a New Fiction Project

## Input
"I'm starting a novel. Working title is 'The Hollow.' It's literary fiction set in a small coastal town in Maine. The main character, Elena, comes back to town after 15 years to find out what really happened to her mother."

## Expected Behavior
1. Creates a project record: "The Hollow," fiction, literary fiction, Maine coastal town, present day
2. Captures the premise (Elena returns after 15 years, mother's disappearance)
3. Creates an initial character bible entry for Elena (protagonist, returning after 15 years, motivated by mother's case)
4. Sets up the setting record (small coastal town, Maine)
5. Writes to book-data.json
6. Offers natural next steps (flesh out Elena, outline chapters, build the world)

## What to Watch For
- Does it capture all the details from a single natural language message?
- Does it auto-create the character entry, not just the project?
- Does it feel like a creative collaborator, not a database entry form?
