Recut, compress, and renumber a drafted novel arc after exploratory writing. Use when a fiction chapter range has become structurally loose, chapter order or titles are wrong, information is too scattered, or the user wants a repeatable process to rebuild a clean chapter sequence in a new directory. Part of the novel skill suite; sits between structure extraction and prose drafting. Supports creating a recut output folder, preserving the old directory, rewriting chapter files in a tighter order, and validating chapter length and continuity with a bundled Python checker.
Draft novel prose from an existing outline, chapter-function plan, or extracted story structure. Use when the structure is already known and the task is to write actual chapter text while preserving pacing, event-driven revelation, character voice, and structural purpose.
Design the next compelling story arc for a serialized novel based on existing chapters, current character state, unresolved pressures, thematic progression, and recent aftermath. Use when the user wants to decide what new story should come next, generate multiple candidate arcs, avoid repetitive follow-ups, and choose the most promising next arc before outlining or drafting prose.
Extract story structure from an existing novel, chapter range, or source text. Use when reading original chapters to build notes about character lines, event progression, motifs, thematic tensions, chapter function, and arc-level turning points before rewriting, recutting, or drafting new prose.
Coordinate a fiction-writing workflow across specialized novel subskills. Use when working on long-form serialized fiction and deciding whether to (1) extract structure from source chapters, (2) design the next story arc from existing material, (3) recut a messy drafted arc into a cleaner chapter sequence, or (4) draft prose from an existing structure. This is the router/orchestrator skill for the novel skill suite.
