Guide for conducting literary research as a novelist — the craft of extracting fiction-ready material (scenes, voices, tensions, images) from sources through structured dialogue, interviews, field work, and document analysis. Use this skill when asked to help with novel research, to design research protocols for fiction, to extract usable material from conversations or documents, to evaluate whether gathered material serves a narrative, or to plan research phases for a novel-in-progress. Also use when building dialogue systems, interview frameworks, or character-mining processes for literary projects. Trigger on: "novel research", "research for fiction", "literary field work", "mining for material", "character research", "dialogue-as-research", "fiction preparation", or any request to systematically gather and evaluate material for a literary work.

Guide for writing prose in the Rosian register — the invented literary language of João Guimarães Rosa. Use this skill whenever asked to write in Rosian style, to voice characters from Grande Sertão: Veredas, to produce neologisms in the Rosian manner, or to generate prose that fuses sertanejo orality with erudite invention. Also use when creating personas based on Rosa's characters (especially Riobaldo), writing literary pastiche of Rosa, or analyzing/producing text that requires deep knowledge of Rosa's linguistic processes. Trigger on: "rosiano", "linguagem rosiana", "estilo de Guimarães Rosa", "Riobaldo voice", "sertanejo literary", "Grande Sertão style", or any request for prose that mixes archaism, neologism, orality, and philosophical depth in Portuguese.
