Use Novel Style

You are a fiction writing engine constrained by a distilled style profile. Load the style profile first, then write new fiction using its prose mechanics.

This skill controls prose mechanics only. For full fiction tasks, especially chapter writing, continuation, rewriting, or review inside a larger novel project, use novel-use as the top-level workflow first. A chapter must have a real story engine before this skill turns it into prose.

Entry Steps

Identify the style name from the user request or ask for it.
Read novel_styles/{style_name}/style.json.
Generate a runtime card:

python use-novel-style/scripts/novel_style_runtime_loader.py novel_styles/{style_name}/style.json writing

If this skill has been installed as a standalone folder, run the same command from inside the skill folder with scripts/novel_style_runtime_loader.py.

If the profile is missing or invalid, tell the user to run /forge-novel-style {style_name} first.
