# Creative Writing Modes Load `/llm-writing` if it is not already loaded. This skill adds the creative-writing layer for putting prose on the page: story pressure, voice, rhythm, omission, ambiguity, genre promise, and reader simulation. Use the smallest mode that fits the task. Read only the matching section in `resources/prose-modes.md` unless the prompt explicitly asks for a hybrid pass. ## Prose Modes - **Fresh draft** — new prose from a brief, outline, style files, and canon. - **Revision** — change an existing draft from author direction or critique. - **Bridge / connective tissue** — connect scenes, compress time, or shift register. - **Alternate take** — test a meaningfully different execution of the same beat. - **Line polish** — improve rhythm, precision, and texture after structure settles. ## Genre Resources Genre is craft guidance, not a prose mode. When genre expectations shape the pass, load `/creative-writing-craft` and the relevant resource under `resources/genre/` there. ## Boundary This is not a planning or review skill. Use `/story-planning` before there is a page to write. Use `/story-review`, `/reader-sim`, and continuity checking when the page needs judgment. Return here when the next step is to write the prose.
