✨ Story Skills

End-to-end story writing powered by markdown and AI agents.

Manage characters, build worlds, structure plots, and write chapters — all as structured markdown files with YAML frontmatter.

Works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, and any agent that supports the SKILL.md standard.

🚀 Quick Start

# Claude Code — install in two commands
/plugin marketplace add danjdewhurst/story-skills
/plugin install story-skills@story-skills

Then just say "Start a new story" and the agent takes it from there.

📦 Installation

Claude Code

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add danjdewhurst/story-skills

# Install the plugin
/plugin install story-skills@story-skills

GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

VS Code with Copilot discovers skills from multiple directories:

git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

# Copy skills to your project (any of these work)
cp -r story-skills/skills/* .github/skills/
cp -r story-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/

# Or install globally
cp -r story-skills/skills/* ~/.copilot/skills/

Skills auto-activate when your request matches a skill's description or can be invoked manually.

Cursor

Cursor supports the SKILL.md standard:

git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

cp -r story-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/

Windsurf

Windsurf discovers skills from workspace and global directories:

git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

# Copy skills to your project
cp -r story-skills/skills/* .windsurf/skills/

# Or install globally
cp -r story-skills/skills/* ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/

Cascade auto-invokes skills when your request matches a skill's description, or use @skill-name to invoke manually.

Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI supports the same SKILL.md format via the Agent Skills standard:

# Install all skills globally
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

# Or install a specific skill
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git --path skills/story-init
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git --path skills/character-management
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git --path skills/worldbuilding
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git --path skills/plot-structure
gemini skills install https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git --path skills/chapter-writing

# Or link locally after cloning
git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git
gemini skills link story-skills/skills

Gemini will auto-discover the skills and activate them when your request matches a skill's description.

Codex (OpenAI)

Codex uses the same SKILL.md format via the Agent Skills standard:

git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

# Install to your user skills (available across all projects)
cp -r story-skills/skills/* ~/.agents/skills/

# Or install to a specific repo
cp -r story-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/

Codex detects new skills automatically.

OpenCode

The skills use the same SKILL.md format that OpenCode supports natively:

git clone https://github.com/danjdewhurst/story-skills.git

# Copy skills to your project
cp -r story-skills/skills/* .opencode/skills/

# Or install globally
cp -r story-skills/skills/* ~/.config/opencode/skills/

OpenCode also searches .claude/skills/ paths, so project-level Claude skills are automatically discovered.

Other platforms

These skills follow the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter). They work with any compatible agent — just copy the skill folders to your agent's skills directory.
