Preface¶

Using general-purpose large models to write web novels often results in a common issue of “throwing up the main text right away”: the title, worldview, and main plot haven’t been aligned yet, but the chapters have already gone off track; in long works, character status and foreshadowing often fail to match up later on. Building your own prompts can mitigate this, but it is difficult to string together track selection, setting confirmation, chapter outlines, continuity maintenance, and serialization pacing into a repeatable path.

Below is an introduction to the Hit Web Novel Creation skill (Skill ID novel-workflow-expert, role name “Novel Craftsman” within the workflow) on SkillHub. It breaks down web novel creation into negotiable stages, emphasizing alignment before writing. It also separates market conclusions from creative hypotheses within the materials, reducing the likelihood of unverified information being written into settings as “hit data.”

What This Is¶

Hit Web Novel Creation is a complete web novel workflow Skill designed for zero-basic users: it covers project initiation from scratch, discussion of popular genres and platform trends, consultative design for titles/worldviews/characters/plots, guidance on main text and revisions, and automatic serialization configuration where the environment supports it.

• Hosting & Distribution: Distributed via SkillHub; the official entry point in the task clues is https://api.skillhub.cn/user_83e875d1/novel-workflow-expert (this address returns 405 for GET requests and cannot be read directly as a documentation page).
• Platform Metadata (from task clues): Category content-creation, SkillHub rating 99620, 504 downloads.
• Currently Installable Package: When running skillhub search novel-workflow-expert locally, it resolves to @indiv-anyagent/novel-workflow-expert, version 2.0.0, with a description consistent with the “Novel Craftsman” full-process positioning. The page https://skillhub.cn/skills/user_83e875d1/novel-workflow-expert was verified as “Skill Not Found” on 2026-10-22; please prioritize CLI search results before installation.

Core Features¶

The following capabilities come from the task clue introduction and are consistent with or directly correspond to the downloaded novel-workflow-expert version 2.0.0 SKILL.md.

Consultative Collaboration¶

• New projects proceed through stages: Positioning, optional market judgment, title & summary, world rules, character relationships, story engine, volume arcs & foreshadowing, chapter outlines, main text, batch review & proofreading, project maintenance.
• Key stages provide proposals and solicit confirmation; suggestions are not written as finalized “creative constitutions” until confirmed.
• When a user gives a clear execution instruction (e.g., “Write Chapter 1 directly,” “Provide the outline first,” “Rewrite this paragraph”), the Skill prioritizes completing that task; if key information hindering execution is missing, it may declare reasonable assumptions or ask only one question, rather than forcing the completion of all stages.

Genre & Market (Including 2025–2026 Context)¶

• When users ask about time-sensitive questions like popular genres, platform trends, or contract rules, the workflow requires maximizing online verification, distinguishing between platform public data, ranking observations, and empirical judgment, and marking assumptions rather than faking rankings or proportions if the internet is unavailable.
• The task clues separately mention 2025–2026 Popular Genre Analysis, which corresponds to the aforementioned market research path, rather than a fixed output of a specific list.

Design Deliverables¶

• Name & Summary: Alternative titles, core hooks, summaries, and opening promises.
• Worldview: Rules, costs, sources of conflict, requiring the ability to continuously generate plot.
• Characters & Relationships: Goals, strategies, costs, contradictions, and arcs.
• Plot Structure: Volume arcs, foreshadowing ledgers, card-style outlines per chapter, and chapter main text (default long chapters are approximately 3000–4500 words, subject to user specification).

Long-form Continuity¶

• Suggests maintaining records such as constitution.md, specification.md, foreshadowing-ledger.md, continuity-ledger.md, progress.md (saved to disk if file tools are available, otherwise delivered as saved Markdown).
• After completing approximately 10 chapters, perform a continuity review according to a self-check list, grading issues by P0/P1/P2.

Auto-Serialization¶

• Enters only upon explicit user request: first checks if the environment has task/scheduling tools, confirms frequency, timezone, output volume, and whether to review before posting, then creates the task; if no automation tools are available, provides copyable configuration and explains that the task has not actually been created.

Installation & Activation¶

The Skill follows the standard SKILL.md format. Installation methods are subject to the official SkillHub documentation.

1. Install SkillHub CLI (if not installed)¶

command -v skillhub && skillhub --version

If not installed, run the full installation script (see SkillHub Installation Docs):

curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash

2. Install this Skill to the current Agent’s skills directory¶

When installing, you must use --dir to point to the skills directory recognized by the current client; otherwise, the default landing in ./skills/ may not be loaded by the Agent.

skillhub search novel-workflow-expert

skillhub install novel-workflow-expert --namespace indiv-anyagent --dir ~/.cursor/skills/

Common paths for various clients (excerpt from official installation docs):

You can also send the prompt below to an Agent that supports Skills, asking it to fetch according to the installation docs (namespace is subject to skillhub search results):

Please install @indiv-anyagent/novel-workflow-expert based on https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md.

After installation, refresh or restart the Agent as per the client’s instructions to enable the Skill.

Typical Usage¶

After enabling the Skill, simply state your intent in natural language; the Agent will perform task routing first, then enter the corresponding path.

Project Initiation from Scratch¶

I want to write a Chinese web novel from scratch, urban supernatural direction, targeting about 100 chapters. Don't write the main text yet; help me with positioning, differentiated selling points, and give me 3 title options to choose from.

After confirmation, you can continue to request the worldview, character cards, and volume outlines before moving to chapter text.

Popular Genres & Platform Trends¶

Help me sort out a few web novel genres suitable for newcomers in 2025–2026, explaining reader expectations and differentiation space; please mark unverifiable parts as assumptions.

Single Item Design or Revision¶

The title is set as "XXX". Please design the protagonist, antagonist, and a main plot obstacle, and provide chapter outline cards for the first 30 chapters.

Please polish the following chapter, preserve the character's voice, and reduce stereotyping and the "AI feel".

Continuation & Diagnosis¶

Based on the first three chapters and settings I pasted, continue writing Chapter 4; if a key setting is missing, just ask me the single most critical question.

Check the foreshadowing and character motivations in Chapters 1–10, and list problems and revision suggestions according to P0/P1/P2.

Auto-Serialization (Requires Environmental Support)¶

I want to update 2 chapters weekly. Please list the parameters I need to confirm (timezone, word count, whether to review before posting) first, then explain if a scheduled task can be created on this machine.

Scenarios & Notes¶

Who it is for

• Zero-basic or system-lacking web novel authors who want a negotiable path from topic selection, setting, outline, to main text.
• Scenarios requiring long-form continuity and foreshadowing management, rather than just a single generation of a few thousand words.
• Those willing to confirm settings in stages or able to give clear instructions like “Write directly” or “Outline first”.

Limitations & Notes

• Task clues emphasize “never start writing without explicit user confirmation”; however, the actual Skill 2.0.0 will prioritize executing main text or revision under clear writing instructions, while still serving the overall quality of new project creation via stage confirmation. These two aspects should be understood in combination.
• It does not promise “guaranteed hits” or “guaranteed contracts”; market and ranking information depends on available sources and internet capabilities.
• The official clue URL and user_83e875d1 skill page may be unavailable or migrated; please refer to the namespace resolved by skillhub search / skillhub install.
• Chapter saving and scheduled serialization depend on whether the Agent has the corresponding tools; the Skill requires not falsely reporting “prompt given” as “task created” or “written to disk”.

Conclusion¶

Hit Web Novel Creation (novel-workflow-expert / Novel Craftsman) condenses web novel creation into a “negotiable, phased workflow”: align positioning and settings first, then write the main text, supported by project memory and batch reviews for long-form works.
