Skills

Teach your agent
to write like a writer.

A skill is a SKILL.md your agent loads: the shape of a format, the method behind it, and the path from draft to publish. Add one and your agent knows how to write that thing well.

X-Writer

Posts that read like writing.

Medium-form paragraphs with a real argument, openings that land the idea in one line, and no engagement bait. Long Articles are scored on hook, argument and payoff before you post.

It also makes the visuals: Article covers, one image per thread tweet, and comics that keep characters consistent.

Book-Writer

A book, built from beats.

Each chapter is planned as beats, self-contained units of scene or argument sized to the chapter's density. The agent drafts them one at a time with the outline, voice notes and decisions log already loaded, so it never loses the shape of the book.

Works for fiction and nonfiction. When it's done, the manuscript compiles the chapters and exports EPUB for Kindle.

Blog-Writer

Long-form posts with a spine.

Beats first, then title, preview and slug, then prose. It finds the voice for each blog it writes for, so a post reads like the site it lands on, then hands off to the GitHub plugin to publish.

Newsletter-Writer

Issues written to be opened.

Subject line and preview text drafted as a pair, then the issue itself. Sending, your domain and your list are handled by the Publish plugin.
