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 wordflowlab/novel-writer-skills at 5bc9b373ff.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps structure scenes within a novel or story. It provides frameworks for plot progression, pacing, and dramatic tension. The skill can suggest scene goals, turning points, and resolutions based on established narrative structures.

When to use it

  • You're stuck outlining your novel and need help breaking down the story into manageable scenes.
  • A scene feels flat or lacks direction; you want suggestions for improving its impact.
  • You’re looking to experiment with different narrative structures (e.g., three-act structure, hero's journey).
  • You want to ensure consistent pacing and build suspense throughout your story.

Key capabilities

  • Scene goal suggestion
  • Turning point identification
  • Resolution generation
  • Narrative structure application (implied)

Example prompts

  • "Suggest a scene goal for chapter 3 of my fantasy novel."
  • "My character is facing a moral dilemma. What turning point could I use to escalate the tension?"
  • "I need help structuring this action sequence; can you suggest some ways to build suspense?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness relies on providing sufficient context about your story, characters, and desired outcome. It’s best used as a brainstorming tool rather than a rigid scene generator.
