Load /llm-writing if it is not already loaded. This skill adds the
creative-writing layer for putting prose on the page: story pressure, voice,
rhythm, omission, ambiguity, genre promise, and reader simulation.
Use the smallest mode that fits the task. Read only the matching section in
resources/prose-modes.md unless the prompt explicitly asks for a hybrid pass.
Genre is craft guidance, not a prose mode. When genre expectations shape the pass, load /creative-writing-craft and the relevant resource under resources/genre/ there.
This is not a planning or review skill. Use /story-planning before there is a page to write.
Use /story-review, /reader-sim, and continuity checking when the page needs judgment. Return here when the next step is to write the prose.
tools

development
Load when building a static HTML artifact — single page or multi-page site — to make structured information explorable through layout and navigation.
testing
User-invoked pause before reporting to check intent vs literal completion, surface adjacent wins, and route knowledge capture.
development
Use when exploring or changing the codebase: read AGENTS.md first, use .context/CONTEXT.md for detail, keep intent docs succinct.
