How the author describes it

A complete fiction-writing studio, run as a team of named specialist agents, that guides an author from a bare idea to a polished prose manuscript. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write, plan, or revise fiction — a novel, novella, short story, or series. Trigger on requests like "help me write a novel", "I have an idea for a story", "develop my characters", "build a world for my fantasy", "outline my plot", "fix this scene", "my dialogue feels flat", "give me beta-reader feedback", or any time the user is doing creative storytelling and would benefit from structured, craft-aware guidance. Also trigger when the user names a studio member (Homer, Aristotle, Fyodor, Tolkien, Scheherazade, Oscar, Max, Virginia, Borges, Bloom) or asks to switch creative roles / bring in a specialist.

From the description field of SKILL.md. Agents read this line to decide when to load the skill.
