Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned rhavekost/author-toolkit at b78287003e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The fiction-workshop skill, part of the author-toolkit, provides a structured environment for AI agents to collaborate on creative writing projects. It facilitates iterative development by allowing users to define characters, settings, and plot points while receiving constructive feedback and alternative story directions.

When to use it

  • Brainstorming initial concepts for short stories or novels with an AI partner.
  • Developing specific character arcs and dialogue scenarios through guided exercises.
  • Overcoming writer's block by generating plot twists or resolving narrative conflicts.
  • Refining existing drafts by simulating a peer review process focused on pacing and tone.

Key capabilities

  • Interactive workshops for co-creating fiction narratives step-by-step.
  • Character development tools to flesh out motivations, backstories, and voices.
  • Plot structuring assistance to organize scenes and maintain narrative flow.
  • Feedback mechanisms offering critiques and suggestions for improvement.

Example prompts

  • "Let's run a workshop on a mystery story set in 1920s London; help me outline the first three chapters."
  • "I have a protagonist who is too passive; let's workshop a scene where they must make a difficult moral choice."
  • "Act as my editor and critique this opening paragraph, then suggest three different ways to hook the reader immediately."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is designed for collaborative creation rather than generating finished manuscripts in one pass. For best results, provide clear context about your genre and specific goals before starting a session to ensure the AI's suggestions align with your vision.
