inkos-multi-agent-novel-writing — Claude Code skill: setup
Coordinates a multi-agent CLI pipeline to draft, validate, and audit novel chapters. Useful for managing long-form fiction projects with strict continuity.
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill inkos-multi-agent-novel-writing -a claude-codeWhat inkos-multi-agent-novel-writing does
The workflow separates novel production across dedicated agents: story outlining, chapter writing, deterministic rule checks, narrative audits, and targeted revisions. The underlying system manages emotional arcs, character relation matrices, subplots, and style profiles imported from reference texts.
Operation depends on Node.js 20.0.0 or higher and a global install of @actalk/inkos. Missing an LLM API key inside ~/.inkos/config.json will halt the pipeline whenever an agent invokes generation.
Validation happens in two stages. First, a deterministic validator checks eleven surface rules without model calls. Next, an auditor inspects 33 narrative dimensions, including canon consistency and pacing, triggering automatic fixes or rewrites when issues emerge.
What it helps with
- draft subsequent chapters while tracking character arcs and subplots
- audit story consistency across 33 narrative evaluation dimensions
- apply targeted fixes or scene rewrites based on audit feedback
- match prose tone by importing style fingerprints from reference files
Example prompts for the agent
- Initialize a new xuanhuan novel project using inkos
- Write the next chapter and run deterministic validation checks
- Audit chapter 3 and apply spot-fix revisions to narrative defects
