Agent skill

prose

Chronicle writing, research transmission, and prose lens application. Use when: writing chronicle chapters, surveying git history for chapters, transmitting research arcs, applying narrator or wanderer lenses, diagnosing scribe system, rewinding chapters, configuring visual style. Consolidates qino-scribe, qino-lens, and qino-relay.

Prose Skill

Chronicle writing, research transmission, and prose transformation. Natural language activation — users describe intent, Claude routes to the appropriate workflow.

Routing

Match user intent to workflow. Read the workflow file and follow its instructions.

User Intent Workflow
Write chronicle chapter, "next chapter" workflows/chapter.md
Survey git history, "plan chapters" workflows/survey.md
Diagnose scribe system, "check scribe" workflows/diagnose.md
Rewind last chapter, "undo chapter" workflows/rewind.md
Create visual style, "configure images" workflows/visual-style.md
Transmit research, "create transmission" workflows/transmit.md
Apply narrator lens workflows/narrator.md
Apply wanderer lens workflows/wanderer.md

Three Domains

Chronicle (from qino-scribe)

Transform git history into narrative. Multi-agent architecture with prep, prose, and editorial stages.

Workflows: chapter, survey, diagnose, rewind, visual-style

Agents:

  • agents/scribe-prep.md — Lens-first prep with checkpoints
  • agents/scribe-prose.md — Fantasy author writing from constraint
  • agents/scribe-editorial.md — Voice review and revision

References:

  • references/chronicle/voice.md — Craft devices and patterns
  • references/chronicle/craft.md — Chapter format, world structure
  • references/chronicle/layers.md — Layer architecture
  • references/chronicle/story-lenses.md — Twelve lenses
  • references/chronicle/disturbance.md — Git diff interpretation
  • references/chronicle/principles.md — Relational substrate
  • references/chronicle/foundation.md — World-seed configuration

Transmission (from qino-relay)

Voice research arcs through the Student as reader companion.

Workflows: transmit

Agents:

  • agents/relay-prose.md — Student voice
  • agents/relay-editorial.md — Voice integrity review

References:

  • references/transmission/voice.md — Student voice patterns
  • references/transmission/student-guide.md — How the Student works
  • references/transmission/transmission-format.md — Format specification
  • references/transmission/reader-journey-guide.md — Reader journey prep

Lenses (from qino-lens)

Transform prose through specific qualities of attention.

Workflows: narrator, wanderer

References:

  • references/lenses/narrator.md — World as participant, body first
  • references/lenses/wanderer.md — Embodied presence, contextual density
  • references/lenses/companion.md — Companionship lens
  • references/lenses/newcomer.md — Newcomer lens
  • references/lenses/student.md — Student lens

Context Detection

Before routing, check for chronicle or journal context:

  1. Chronicle context: Look for chronicle/manifest.json
  2. Journal context: Look for journal/manifest.json or via .claude/qino-config.json

This determines which workflows are available and where they operate.

Error States

No chronicle for chapter/survey/rewind:

"No chronicle found. Create one with: write a chronicle chapter"

No journal for transmit:

"No journal found. Set up research workspace first."

Unknown intent:

Route to workflows/chapter.md if chronicle exists, otherwise explain available workflows.

Agent Reference

Agents are organized by domain:

Chronicle agents:

  • agents/scribe-prep.md
  • agents/scribe-prose.md
  • agents/scribe-editorial.md

Transmission agents:

  • agents/relay-prose.md
  • agents/relay-editorial.md

Lens workflows are direct transformations — no agents needed.

NOT implicit: arc capture requires explicit invocation ("/qino arc" or "capture an arc").
