What it does

Once installed, the agent can take a novel you already wrote (a draft or a completed book) and reorganize it into a structured writing project with settings, chapter outlines, manuscript folders and tracking files, so you can keep writing with the other oh-story writing skills. It first analyzes the text, then migrates the results into the project layout, and reports back to you for confirmation before activating the book.

Great for

  • Authors who have a partial or completed Chinese web novel and want to continue it with AI assistance
  • Writers who want an organized settings, outline and tracking structure built from existing text

Skip it if

  • Users who only want a one-off analysis of a book; the skill's own docs point to the separate analysis skills for that, since it creates project files
  • Anyone uploading unpublished or confidential manuscripts without checking where the content goes, because the skill can read and write files and may use network-connected sub-agents

Try asking

  • “/story-import 导入我的小说，原文在 ./my-novel.txt”
  • “把我的书导进来，我写到第80章了，还没完本”
  • “/story-import 反向解析这本书，短篇”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Confirm the book title, chapter range, and whether the last chapter is complete before analysis begins, since the skill asks you to decide on fragments.
  • Keep the source text in a copy you control; the skill writes analysis and project files into your project folder.
  • If you want to continue writing afterward, run the setup skill first, then start a new conversation and say 继续导入 to resume.
