# Creative Writing
Extends the `forge:writing-style` skill for manuscript content:
chapters, scenes, essays, poems, worldbuilding. Load that skill
first. Its three mechanical rules never yield. Its habit rules yield
only where the project's existing prose establishes the pattern.
Development artifacts, such as reports, commit messages, and PR text,
stay in the work context even here.
## Flags
Commands whose main content goes beyond development artifacts accept
these. Strip them from arguments before interpreting the task.
- `--work`: force the work context. Wins over every other flag.
- `--creative`: force the creative context.
- `--type-{name}`: refine the form. `--type-prose` is the default.
`--type-poetry` switches to the verse rules below. `--type-article`
routes to the `technical-writing` skill and forces the work
context. Every other type flag implies the creative context on its
own. Any unknown type name is a question, never a guess.
## Voice
The repo owns the voice. Read the existing content first and match
its narrative distance, vocabulary register, rhythm, and spelling,
including British or other regional spelling. Never impose a house
style on a project that already has one. A project with no content
yet means asking for tone and audience before writing.
## Continuity
Check every new passage against what exists. Names, dates, places,
and established facts stay consistent. Track what each character
knows and when they learned it. Nobody reacts to wh
