creative-writing-skills: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/README.md

README is a command for Claude Code from haowjy/creative-writing-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of slash commands for switching between creative-writing tasks such as brainstorming, prose writing, maintaining a knowledge base, and critique. A knowledge base is a collection of reference notes about a story, such as characters or timelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore ideas with /bs, write in a chosen style with /write, maintain story notes with /kb, and request critical feedback with /critique.
Why use it?
It makes common writing workflows easy to invoke with short commands and keeps story-reference work separate from drafting and feedback.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

README scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Creative Writing Slash Commands

These custom slash commands provide explicit mode switching for the creative writing skills.

Available Commands

Brainstorming

  • /bs - Brainstorm and explore story ideas

Usage:

/bs I'm thinking about a magic system where...
/bs What if the antagonist actually...

Writing Prose

  • /write [style] - Enter prose writing mode

Usage:

/write                          (uses project style files if found)
/write action-heavy             (writes in action-heavy style)
/write literary                 (writes in literary style)
/write the next scene where...  (context for what to write)

If a style name is provided and no matching style file exists in kb/styles/, Claude will use general conventions for that style.

Knowledge Base

  • /kb - Create or update kb reference pages

Usage:

/kb Create a character profile for my protagonist
/kb Update the magic system page with the new constraints
/kb Document the timeline for act 2

Critique

  • /critique - Get adversarial feedback on your writing

Usage:

/critique [file or paste text]
/critique Analyze the pacing in chapter 3

Why Use Slash Commands?

  1. Explicit invocation - Clear signal about which skill you want
  2. Context shifting - The command shifts Claude's focus to the skill
  3. Shorter syntax - Easier than "use the prose-critique skill"
  4. Arguments - Pass additional context directly

Natural Language Still Works

You can still use natural language to invoke skills:

  • "Help me brainstorm ideas for my antagonist"
  • "Write this scene in my style"
  • "Critique the pacing in chapter 3"

The slash commands just provide an explicit alternative when you want guaranteed skill activation.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
