How to use Prose Writing in your AI agent

What you'll get

This skill teaches AI how to write immersive fiction and creative non-fiction at the sentence and paragraph level. It covers techniques like psychic distance, free indirect discourse, rhythm, and sensory grounding — the craft patterns that pull readers into a story. Writers working on novels, short stories, memoirs, or narrative essays use this to ensure their prose feels vivid and emotionally resonant, not flat or generic.

Step 3 — Try these prompts

Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:

• Drafting or revising fiction and the prose feels flat or generic
• You need emotional scenes to feel intimate and high-stakes scenes to feel tense
• Writing creative non-fiction or memoir and want vivid, immersive storytelling
• You want AI to write in a character's voice, not just report what happened

What this skill does

• Controls psychic distance to create intimacy or context depending on the scene
• Uses free indirect discourse so third-person narration carries the character's voice
• Varies sentence rhythm to match emotional intensity and pacing
• Grounds scenes in specific sensory details filtered through the POV character
• Shows character states through action and behavior instead of labeling emotions
