A complete AI skill set for Chinese novel writing, built on the oh-my-openagent framework. 14 specialized skills covering every stage of fiction creation, from story ideation to manuscript completion, with core innovations in preventing worldbuilding info-dumps, reader-perspective testing, and AI-flavor elimination.
What It Does
Dreampowers provides a disciplined, skill-driven workflow for writing Chinese fiction with AI. Instead of dumping all worldbuilding details into chapter one, it enforces gradual reveal through quantified rules and multi-stage review.
- 14 specialized skills covering the full fiction writing lifecycle
- Three-stage review for every chapter (plot, reveal check, prose)
- External review loop: reader + consistency review after three-stage pass, up to 3 iterations with TBD fallback for human review
- Six Iron Rules preventing info-dumps with zero-tolerance enforcement
- Foreshadowing tracking of setup/payoff across the entire manuscript
- Scene-type directing with sub-modes for action, emotional, and dialogue scenes
- Four continuous writing modes: per-chapter confirmation, batch N chapters, pause-at-volume-break, full-auto
- Narrative timeline techniques: sequential/reverse/interpolated/supplementary with POV selection rules
- Description methodology: camera-language system integrated into scene directing
- External content import: bring in existing world set, character cards, outlines, and handwritten chapters
- Mid-story outline revision: 7-step freeze-and-revise workflow for course corrections
- Reader-perspective testing: cold-read simulation scoring page-turning desire, cognitive load, empathy, and pacing feel
- AI-flavor detection: quantified pattern matching to eliminate formulaic AI writing habits
- Writing style definition: 7-dimension questionnaire (narrative distance, sentence rhythm, sensory density, vocabulary register, metaphor strategy, emotional expression, dialogue ratio) with 54+ reference authors across 9 genres
- Opt-in mature content: adult scene writing with sensory completeness and narrative integrity framework, two-tier system (softcore/hardcore), user-defined
adult.mdpreferences, installed separately via--allflag - Three-layer isolation from coding skills (entry switching +
dp-prefix + directory isolation) - Git-based version management for manuscripts

Key Innovations
Lore Reveal Pacing (dp-set-outline)
Six Iron Rules enforced with zero tolerance:
- Mystery first, answers later
- Sensory experience before rules explanation
- Deepen existing concepts before introducing new ones
- Ch.1 max 3 new concepts (can be 0), subsequent max 2/chapter (can be 0)
- All world info through character action/dialogue only
- Reveal only what serves the current conflict
Foreshadowing Tracking
Individual Markdown files in docs/dreampowers/tracking/ (prefixed with thread-) tracking all foreshadowing threads with:
- Thread recovery pacing determined by outline planning, verified by consistency review
- Claremont Coefficient (CC = planted - resolved), warning at CC > 2
- Overdue thread detection
Concept Isolation (dp-set-concept)
Physical file-level isolation preventing AI from seeing future worldbuilding concepts or character states:
- One concept per file in
docs/dreampowers/set/concept/ - One character per file or directory in
docs/dreampowers/set/character/ - Chapter folders (
docs/dreampowers/chapters/chapter-NNN/) as fully self-contained writing units - Chapter folders contain: symlinks to concepts/characters/foreshadowing threads +
spec.md(7-section chapter spec: outline-stage framework §1-5 + Pre-Draft Gate evaluation §6 + self-contained writing blueprint §7) - Iron rules symlinked from
docs/dreampowers/tracking/iron-rules.mdinto each chapter folder - Previous chapter summaries symlinked (1-3 prior chapters as needed) for continuity
- Pre-Draft Gate reads all chapter folder materials, distills them into
spec.md§6-7, user confirms, then writing reads onlyspec.md - Serial chapter writing: chapters must be written one at a time, in order
Three-Stage Chapter Review
Every chapter passes through three sequential review stages:
- Plot Review: Conflict progression, character consistency, outline adherence
- Reveal Check: Zero-tolerance info-dump detection against the 6 Iron Rules
- Prose Review: Style consistency, dialogue voice, sensory detail, rhythm
External Review Loop
After passing the three-stage review, every chapter enters an external review loop:
- Reader review (dp-review-reader): cold-reader experience testing across four dimensions
- Consistency review (dp-review-consistency): nine-dimension consistency check + revision suggestions with AI-flavor detection + writing style verification against style.md
- Fix and repeat: issues from both reports are merged and fixed, then the loop repeats (max 3 iterations)
- TBD fallback: if issues persist after 3 iterations, the release file is saved as
chapter-NNN-TBD.mdfor human review
Narrative Techniques
Integrated across skills for consistent technique application:
- Timeline Methods (dp-set-outline, dp-chapter-draft): sequential, reverse, interpolated, supplementary with decision tree for selection and chapter-level execution guidance
- POV Rules (dp-set-outline): First/third-limited/third-omniscient comparison, 5 hard rules for POV switching (scene-boundary only, emotional anchor, no info-smuggling, consistent within scene, signal transitions)
- Description Methodology (dp-chapter-direct): Camera-language system integrated with the three scene sub-modes
Continuous Writing and Outline Revision
- Four writing modes: per-chapter confirmation (default), batch N chapters, pause-at-volume-break, full-auto (with quality gate)
- Mid-story outline revision: 7-step freeze-and-revise workflow
Reader-Perspective Testing (dp-review-reader)
Simulates a "cold reader" who has no access to outlines, world set, or character cards, only the accumulated text of published chapters. Four test dimensions:
- Page-Turning Desire: Does the reader want to keep reading? (1-5 scale, flag at 2 or below)
- Cognitive Load: Is the reader confused or overwhelmed? (inverted scale, more than 3 unfamiliar elements in 500 words = overload)
- Empathy Verification: "Why should I care?" test for character motivation clarity
- Subjective Pacing Feel: "Want to skip this?" (dragging) vs "Wait, what happened?" (rushing)
AI-Flavor Detection (dp-review-consistency)
Quantified pattern matching across 6 layers to eliminate AI writing habits:
- Lexical: Simile-word flooding, emotion labeling, degree-adverb stacking
- Syntactic: Triple-parallelism reflex, uniform sentence length, subject repetition
- Structural: Fixed three-paragraph pattern per scene, formulaic transitions, every ending is an epiphany
- Rhetorical: Synesthesia overuse, metaphor density, universal personification, false antiquity (nostalgia filter on period settings), era-anachronism detection (objects that don't belong to the story's time period)
- **Format
