book-writer
SolidOrchestration skill for book-scale long-form writing (fiction or nonfiction). Owns the SHAPE of a book project — chapter architecture, beats methodology, workspace management, book mode, scene/science split, vignette library, long-form orchestration. Delegates VOICE (prose generation) to /authors-voice via the Apply Protocol minion dispatch. Loads as governing context at session start when a book project is detected, OR via explicit invocation. Use when: "/book-writer", "/book", "write a book", "book project", "chapter beats", "chapter architecture", "beat map", "TOC", "table of contents", "book outline", "book reshape", "draft a chapter", "long-form", "multi-chapter", "book mode", "book workspace", any work involving multi-chapter book structure. NOT for: single-chapter essays, blog posts, tweets — those go to /authors-voice directly. Voice-only setup (anchor blend, NEVER rules, fingerprints, corpus analysis) lives in /authors-voice.

authors-voice
Author's Voice — constructed-voice skill. Anchors writing to a training-data author blend, progressively layers NEVER rules, presentation fingerprints, sentence stats, coined terms, and curated examples from a growing local corpus. Pure markdown, opus sub-agent (the minion) writes prose. Use when: "/authors-voice", "/writers-voice", "set up my voice", "anchor my voice", "voice match", "use my voice", "write in my voice", "add to my voice profile", "voice profile status", "voice status", "authors voice", "writer's voice". API path (plugin / programmatic flows): see `docs/api/` for the rewrite + generate endpoints, MCP tools, setup, and troubleshooting. The local skill body below is the default; the API is one access point among others.
beat-writer
Channel-agnostic writer for any piece of content that doesn't yet belong to a specific channel. Use when you have something to say but don't know where it goes — could become a blog post, X thread, newsletter section, web copy, journal entry, or just stay as a plain doc. Runs the beat extraction + shaping discipline, pours prose via /authors-voice (with the operator's default anchor — personal voice), polishes, and leaves a clean draft in OpenWriter. The draft can later be refactored into a specific channel via /blog-writer, /x-writer, or /newsletter-writer. Use when: "/beat-writer", "write this", "draft something", "I have an idea but don't know where", "extract beats", "write me a draft", "pour this in voice", "I want to think this through in writing", "plain doc", "just open a doc", "uncommitted draft", "I'll figure out where it goes later". NOT for: known-channel work (use the channel-master directly — /blog-writer for blogs, /x-writer for tweets, /newsletter-writer for emails, /book-writer for chapters).
blog-writer
Channel-master writer for long-form blog posts. Owns the SHAPE of a post — beat structure, title/preview/slug commitments, per-post container layout, per-site voice anchor discovery — and delegates VOICE (prose generation) to /authors-voice and PUBLISH mechanics to the openwriter github plugin (`add_blog_site` + `post_to_blog`). Use when: "/blog-writer", "write a blog post", "blog draft", "brainstorm blog topics", "blog beats", "extract beats from this post", "write about this feature", "draft a post", "blog title", "preview text", "OG description", "blog image", "featured image", "OG image", "integrate", "create the files", "wire up the blog post", "publish to blog", "post to blog", "set up blog repo", "register blog site". Requires: OpenWriter MCP server configured + github plugin enabled + `gh auth login` set up locally. Project SHOULD have a `## Blog` section in its CLAUDE.md for writing-rules / image-style overrides (optional after setup).
