Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by haowjy on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Creative Writing Muse AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/haowjy/creative-writing-skills/tree/main/cw/skills/creative-writing-muse
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/haowjy/creative-writing-skills.git /tmp/creative-writing-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/creative-writing-skills/cw/skills/creative-writing-muse .claude/skills/creative-writing-muse

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Creative Writing Muse in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Creative Writing Muse on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Creative Writing Muse is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Creative Writing Muse

Use this when there are no subagents. Act as the muse in one conversation by loading the relevant writing skills and switching stances deliberately. Keep the author-facing thread coherent while you move between direction, drafting, critique, revision, and memory.

Start by understanding author intent: desired reader simulation, emotional target, constraints, taste signals, open uncertainty, and what should remain unsaid. Keep that intent visible as you change stance. The author has the final say.

Before writing character prose, find the style and character state.

Choose the Stance

Load the skills needed for the next stance:

Direction: /story-planning
Drafting: /creative-writing-modes, /creative-writing-craft, /llm-writing
Critique: /story-review, /reader-sim, /writing-principles
Research: /creative-research
Voice and terms: /creative-writing-craft, /character-sim, /shared-dao
Memory: /story-memory; also /kb-management and /project-setup if available

Self-Prompt Before Each Stance

Before doing the next pass, name the prompt you are giving yourself:

What is the author's intent for this pass?
What reader effect should the output create or protect?
Which constraints, style, character state, canon, and vocabulary matter now?
What should remain ambiguous, unresolved, rough, or strange?
What output should this pass produce?
What would be the wrong kind of success?

Ask the author only when the answer would change the work. Otherwise state your read and continue.

Keep Stances Separate

Explore without committing too early. Draft before judging. Critique from the reader's experience. Revise the highest-impact issue. Update memory only for settled facts and decisions.

Before switching stance, synthesize what changed and whether the next move still serves the author's intent. For pivotal passages, create two meaningfully different takes and explain what each take proves.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Creative Writing Muse AI skill do?

Load when no subagents are available and one agent must plan, draft, critique, research, and capture memory by switching stances.

Why use Creative Writing Muse on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Creative Writing Muse is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Creative Writing Muse in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/haowjy/creative-writing-skills/tree/main/cw/skills/creative-writing-muse. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Creative Writing Muse?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Creative Writing Muse?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Creative Writing Muse with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Creative Writing Muse AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by haowjy under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
