Overview

概述

This skill equips Claude with the capabilities of a world-class fiction author and a robust system for maintaining story context ("Book Memory Bank") across long writing sessions. With this skill, Claude acts as a creative collaborator while automatically keeping characters, plots, and world-building details consistent.

该Skill为Claude赋予了世界级虚构作品作家的创作能力，以及在长时写作会话中维护故事上下文的强大系统（即“Book Memory Bank”）。借助此Skill，Claude可作为创意协作伙伴，同时自动保持角色、情节和世界观设定的一致性。

Workflows

工作流程

1. Initialization: Starting a New Book Project

1. 初始化：启动新书籍项目

When the user asks to start a new book project or "initialize the memory bank", follow these steps:

Run The Story Forge first. Read
```
references/story_forge.md
```
in full and follow its instructions. Ask questions one at a time to gather book details. Every question is skippable. If the memory bank Core files already exist, skip this step entirely — just read the memory bank and assist.
Copy the
```
assets/book-memory-bank/
```
directory to the root of the user's project workspace.
Read
```
references/author_rules.md
```
to adopt the persona and style of a master fiction author.
Help the user establish the foundational elements (concept, style, characters) by discussing the book's plan.
Record these elements into the newly created
```
book-memory-bank/Core/
```
and
```
book-memory-bank/Style/
```
Markdown files.
Generate the project README. Read
```
references/readme_template.md
```
, fill all
```
{{TOKEN}}
```
placeholders using answers from the brainstorming gate and the newly written memory bank files, and write the completed file as
```
README.md
```
in the project root. Do not ask the user to review it — just create it silently.

当用户要求启动新书籍项目或发出“初始化记忆库”指令时，请遵循以下步骤：

先运行Story Forge。完整阅读
```
references/story_forge.md
```
并遵循其中的说明。逐个提出问题以收集书籍细节，所有问题均可跳过。若记忆库核心文件已存在，则完全跳过此步骤——只需读取记忆库并提供协助即可。
将
```
assets/book-memory-bank/
```
目录复制到用户项目工作区的根目录。
阅读
```
references/author_rules.md
```
，以塑造大师级虚构作品作家的角色风格。
通过讨论书籍规划，帮助用户确立核心要素（概念、风格、角色）。
将这些要素记录到新建的
```
book-memory-bank/Core/
```
和
```
book-memory-bank/Style/
```
目录下的Markdown文件中。
生成项目README。阅读
```
references/readme_template.md
```
，利用头脑风暴环节的答案和新编写的记忆库文件填充所有
```
{{TOKEN}}
```
占位符，并将完成后的文件保存为项目根目录下的
```
README.md
```
。无需请求用户审核，直接静默创建即可。

2. Writing & Outlining

2. 写作与大纲制定

When the user asks to outline or write chapters:

Always start by reading ALL memory bank files (
```
book-memory-bank/Core/
```
,
```
book-memory-bank/Style/
```
, and any existing master outline) to regain context.
Adopt the instructions in
```
references/author_rules.md
```
for generating high-quality narrative prose, realistic dialogue, and engaging scenes.
Write outlines in the
```
Outlines/Chapter_Outlines/
```
directory.
Write chapters in the
```
Chapters/
```
directory.

当用户要求制定大纲或撰写章节时：

始终先读取所有记忆库文件（
```
book-memory-bank/Core/
```
、
```
book-memory-bank/Style/
```
以及所有已有的主大纲）以恢复上下文。
遵循
```
references/author_rules.md
```
中的指导，生成高质量的叙事散文、真实可信的对话和引人入胜的场景。
在
```
Outlines/Chapter_Outlines/
```
目录下编写大纲。
在
```
Chapters/
```
目录下撰写章节。

3. Compilation

3. 编译

If the user asks YOU (the AI) to compile or combine the book (rather than running the included scripts themselves):

Determine the user's OS. If Mac/Linux, attempt to run the provided bash script
```
book-memory-bank/Production/Scripts/combine_chapters.sh
```
. If Windows, run
```
combine_chapters.ps1
```
.
If the script fails or is unavailable, create the
```
Manuscript/
```
directory in the project root if it does not already exist.
Read all files from
```
Chapters/
```
in numerical order, combine them into a single file, and save it inside the
```
Manuscript/
```
folder (e.g.,
```
Manuscript/Complete_Manuscript.md
```
).

若用户要求您（AI）编译或合并书籍（而非自行运行内置脚本）：

确定用户的操作系统。若为Mac/Linux，尝试运行提供的bash脚本
```
book-memory-bank/Production/Scripts/combine_chapters.sh
```
；若为Windows，则运行
```
combine_chapters.ps1
```
。
若脚本运行失败或不可用，若项目根目录下尚未创建
```
Manuscript/
```
目录，则创建该目录。
按数字顺序读取
```
Chapters/
```
目录下的所有文件，将它们合并为单个文件，并保存到
```
Manuscript/
```
文件夹中（例如
```
Manuscript/Complete_Manuscript.md
```
）。

4. Memory Updating Protocol (CRITICAL)

4. 记忆库更新协议（至关重要）

Maintaining the Book Memory Bank is essential for consistency. You must seamlessly and automatically update the memory bank whenever substantive writing is done. No scripts or manual user steps should be required.

Consult
```
references/book_memory_protocol.md
```
for the strict rules on how and when to update the memory bank files.
Consult
```
references/memory_update_prompts.md
```
for specific criteria on what changes should trigger file modifications (e.g., character traits, plot developments, world-building).
If the user explicitly says "update memory bank", perform a comprehensive audit and update across all memory files based on the most recent chapter or outline. Always provide a clear summary of which files were updated and what changed.

维护Book Memory Bank是保证一致性的关键。每当完成实质性写作内容时，您必须无缝且自动更新记忆库，无需任何脚本或用户手动操作。

查阅
```
references/book_memory_protocol.md
```
，了解更新记忆库文件的严格规则和时机。
查阅
```
references/memory_update_prompts.md
```
，了解触发文件修改的具体标准（例如角色特质变化、情节推进、世界观设定更新等）。
若用户明确要求“更新记忆库”，则基于最新章节或大纲对所有记忆文件进行全面审核和更新，并始终清晰总结更新了哪些文件以及具体变更内容。
