Claude AI skills
for writing

Ten skills covering every writing format — fiction, scripts, emails, speeches, blog posts, and more. Each runs live research before writing so the output is calibrated to what works now.

What are Claude AI writing skills?

NovaKit writing skills are .skill files you download once and upload into Claude. Each one carries a specialist framework for a single writing job — a short story, a screenplay, a eulogy, a cover letter, an exam paper — so Claude stops behaving like a general assistant and starts behaving like someone who has written that thing a hundred times. Every skill runs live research on the format before it writes, asks three narrowing questions about your genre, audience and constraints, then runs a quality gate that rewrites weak passages before you ever see them.

This collection is for people whose output is words: novelists and self-publishers, screenwriters, teachers and tutors, academics, podcasters, job seekers, and anyone facing a speech they have to give on a fixed date. The outcome is a finished, specific draft on the first run — not a generic starting point you spend twenty minutes rescuing. Skills start at $5, work on a free Claude account, and cover 26 formats. If you write across several of them, the Creative Bundle collects six writing skills at a 41% saving.

Every writing format, one place.

SEO Blog Post Brief
$9
You get a complete content brief from one keyword: H1 plus the full H2/H3 structure mapped to search intent, the SERP angle that beats what currently ranks, 5–8 PAA-targeted FAQ questions, a character-count-optimised title tag and meta description, internal link suggestions in and out of the cluster, and a target word count split section by section. It also flags where to add firsthand E-E-A-T detail. Use it when you're handing work to a writer — or to yourself — and don't want to spend an hour on SERP research first.
Short Story Prompt
$5
Output is a fully-developed story package rather than a finished draft: core premise (character, want, obstacle, decision, hook line), protagonist and antagonist seeds, a 7-beat structure map calibrated to your target word count, a setting seed with sensory anchors, and three prompt variations that shift genre, POV, or structure. Writing-coach notes call out the specific failure modes for your premise type. Use it when you have an itch for a story but no shape for it yet, or when you're writing to Wattpad, KU, lit mag, or contest pacing.
Screenplay / Script
$6
This one writes the whole thing: logline, three-act story spine, character profiles for protagonist, antagonist and allies, and the full screenplay in industry-standard spec format — plus a scene-by-scene production breakdown, notes on format compliance, locations and cast, and a revision guide with its own priority fixes. Use it for a short, a pilot, or a feature treatment you need to get in front of a reader in proper format rather than as prose.
Podcast Episode Script
$9
You get a full episode run sheet: a scripted 30-second intro hook, a timestamped outline with every talking point, a guest question sequence for interview formats, transition cues between segments, sponsor slot placement with a native host-read template, a mid-roll CTA at the 70% mark and an outro CTA, a shareable takeaway summary, and a repurposing asset map for clips, quotes and social posts. Use it the day before you record, when you know the topic but not the running order.
Email Newsletter Engine
$9
Produces a publish-ready issue: complete structure (hook, body, quick win, CTA), three subject line variants with the reasoning behind each, matching preheader copy for all three, and a CTA calibrated to how you actually monetise — paid tier, sponsor, or product. Writer notes cover send time and engagement benchmarks for your list size, and the output drops straight into Substack or Beehiiv. Use it for a weekly send you'd otherwise stare at for two hours.
Event Speech Writer
$5
Writes the complete speech — hook, personal stories, emotional arc, and close — with sections labelled so you can find your place while standing up. It ships with a delivery guide covering timing, pause points and eye-contact cues, occasion timing benchmarks for weddings, retirements and eulogies, and a revision checklist for personalisation and tone. Use it when you have the memories and the occasion but no idea how to order them.
Poetry & Verse Prompt
$5
You get a finished poem, ready to read, print or perform, plus a structural note explaining the form chosen and the craft decisions behind it, a personalisation note naming which details to swap in, and performance notes for spoken word or event MC use. It covers 12+ forms — sonnet, haiku, ghazal, villanelle, free verse, ode, elegy, tanka, rubaiyat and more — across eight languages, with bilingual or transliterated versions on request. Use it for an occasion piece that has to sound like a person, not a greeting card.
Wedding Vows Writer
$5
Delivers complete vows for one or both partners, matched as a set — same length, complementary theme — in traditional, modern, romantic, humorous or faith-based styles, at lengths from a 60-second brief to a three-minute extended version. You also get alternate opening lines, key promises and closings to swap, delivery notes, and a condensed fallback in case nerves shorten the moment. Both partners can run the skill independently and still end up with vows that pair.
Cover Letter Writer
$9
Returns a ready-to-send 250–400 word letter built on actual research into the company, plus two alternative hook paragraphs with a rationale for each so you can pick the opening that fits. Coach notes explain the hook choice, the research used, and ATS guidance; placeholders are flagged wherever you need to supply a real metric, and a complement check catches anything that just repeats your resume. An anti-slop gate blocks the AI-tell phrasing hiring managers skim past.
Resume & CV Builder
$9
Writes ATS-optimised bullets in XYZ or APR format and a value-proposition-first professional summary, calibrated to your seniority — individual contributor, manager, or executive. It runs a keyword density check against the specific role you're targeting, calls out missing keywords with guidance on where to place them, and applies an anti-cliché check that strips "results-driven" and "team player" style filler. Use it when you're tailoring one resume to a specific posting rather than rebuilding from scratch.
Children's Book Prompt
$6
Produces a complete picture book package: a spread-by-spread manuscript across 14–17 spreads, a paired AI illustration prompt and layout note for every spread, a character style sheet locked for visual consistency, an arc-mapped colour palette guide, front and back matter including title page, dedication and activity page, back-cover Amazon listing copy, and a KDP production checklist for a 32-page 8.5"×8.5" book. Use it when you're self-publishing and need both the words and the art direction.
Conference Abstract
$7
Returns four blocks: a submission-ready abstract, a reviewer lens analysis with a scoring estimate, three title variants with a recommendation, and a pre-submission compliance checklist. Format is matched to your target conference, the word count is displayed and enforced, and double-blind compliance is checked where the venue requires it. Use it in the week before a CFP deadline when the research is done and the abstract is the last thing standing.
Course Curriculum Builder
$15
Builds the whole curriculum: an audience-calibrated transformation statement, a full module map with a Bloom's level assigned per module, fully detailed lesson outlines for Module 1 and abbreviated outlines for the rest, activity briefs with active learning elements, a quiz bank of at least five questions per module, an assessment design brief with a summative rubric sketch, and platform delivery notes for Kajabi, an LMS, or a bootcamp format. Use it when you've sold or scoped a course and now have to actually build it.
Dialogue Character Film Prompt
$15
Writes a shot-by-shot Seedance 2.0 prompt sequence for dialogue scenes, with lip-sync cue architecture that labels emotion before each line, a character consistency lock repeated across every shot, micro-expression direction per character, camera grammar covering shot type, motion and optics, a native audio spec for ambience, score entry and dialogue register, and continuity notes between shots. Use it for AI short films where characters have to speak and still look like the same people three shots later.
Eulogy Writer
$5
Writes a complete eulogy structured for speaking rather than reading — a spoken opening that settles the room, two to four personal stories built from the memories you supply, a thematic thread tying them together, and a gentle, specific close. Speaker delivery notes mark pause points, timing and reading tips, and you get two or three alternative passages to swap in or add. Calibrated to the voice, faith and tone you ask for, and written for a day when you have no capacity to draft.
Exam Paper Generator
$9
Generates a complete, formatted exam paper with a full marking scheme in a separate teacher copy, plus paper instructions covering time, total marks, calculator policy and negative marking, a Bloom's Taxonomy distribution report, a difficulty distribution report, and a paper quality summary with the marks verified to add up. Covers CBSE, IGCSE, IB, A-Level, SAT, ACT and custom boards. Use it for mock papers, revision sets, or end-of-unit assessments you'd otherwise assemble by hand.
Festival & Holiday Greeting Prompt
$5
Delivers a six-block campaign system from a festival name and your brand identity: a cultural context and strategy brief, message strategy and tone direction, an AI image generation prompt in every aspect ratio, platform copy variants for Instagram, LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, a native language snippet guide covering Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Hebrew and Farsi, and a cultural sensitivity pre-publish checklist. Use it when you're posting for a festival your team doesn't celebrate and can't afford to get wrong.
Health & Wellness Plan
$8
Produces a client-ready plan: a 7-day meal plan with calories and a full macro breakdown, a workout split matched to the equipment and training days available, and a three-tier habit stack anchored to morning, midday and evening — with a derailment plan built into it. It closes with a plain-English one-page summary you can hand to a client, and a scope note that refers clinical conditions to a dietitian. Use it as a coach building programmes, or for structuring your own reset.
Lesson Plan Builder
$8
Returns a classroom-ready plan: header with topic, grade, duration and objective, a specific materials list with no vague placeholders, a curiosity-first hook that activates prior knowledge, a timed direct instruction outline, guided and independent practice activities, differentiation notes covering both support scaffolds and extension tasks, a formative exit ticket, and a post-lesson reflection prompt. Use it for tomorrow's lesson when planning time ran out today.
Podcast Show Notes & SEO
$8
Turns an episode topic and guest into the full publishing package: an outcome-first hook and concrete guest bio with the keyword in the first 40 words, specific "what you'll learn" bullets, every mentioned resource with a link placeholder, timestamped chapter markers written as search phrases rather than segment labels, a 140–155 character SEO meta description plus a 200–250 character Spotify/Apple description, and an 80–120 word newsletter teaser that ends on the unresolved question. Use it after every recording, in place of the 45 minutes it usually takes.
Research Paper Outline
$7
Produces an argument map covering thesis, supporting claims, anticipated objections and stated contribution; a hierarchical section outline calibrated to your discipline with word counts allocated; chapter summaries giving each section a purpose, opening move, closing move and transition; a methodology brief naming the approach and its rigour strategy; and a phased writing roadmap from outline to submission. Covers STEM, social sciences, humanities, law and health. Use it when the reading is done and the structure isn't.
University Application SOP
$15
Writes a full Statement of Purpose draft at the standard 500–1,000 word length, calibrated to your discipline, institution type and academic profile, with program-specific references to named faculty, courses or labs. An opening line audit runs a cliché gate before delivery, and you get a Quality Check Report on opening, specificity, word count and flags, plus a personalisation checklist of what to rewrite before you submit. Use it for each program in a multi-application round, not once for all of them.
Video Script
$15
Writes complete scripts for YouTube long-form, TikTok and Reels with the hook extracted last from the strongest line in the body. Every beat is timed to the second and carries spoken copy, specific B-roll direction, on-screen text, and a delivery note; pattern interrupts are placed at exact beats every 60–90 seconds, a mid-point retention hook is mandatory on anything over five minutes, and a single CTA is placed after the payoff. Use it when your editor needs a script they can shoot from without a separate brief.
Visa Application Cover Letter
$5
Writes the cover letter in the format the consulate expects, covering Schengen (all 27), UK, US B1/B2, F1 and J1, Canada and Australia. It includes a document map linking every claim in the letter to the supporting document that proves it, consultant review flags on weak spots before you submit, restructured handling if you've had a prior refusal, and a mandatory disclaimer on every output. Use it for your own application or as an immigration consultant working through a caseload.
Webinar & Online Event Script
$9
Returns a script blueprint with timed sections, word counts and slide counts; then the full spoken-word script from hook to close, written for the ear; slide cues marking what appears on screen and when to advance; an engagement library of five to seven timed polls, chat prompts and exercises; a Q&A library of eight pre-scripted objection handlers; and a post-webinar close sequence covering the replay email, DM follow-up and deadline reminder. Use it when the webinar is the pitch.
Wedding Invitation Prompt
$5
Outputs a design brief covering palette, motifs and typography direction, then five card prompts — main card, envelope liner, RSVP, save-the-date and detail card — each written in three AI tool versions for Midjourney, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion. You also get a hex-coded colour palette reference, paper stock and finish guidance per card, and a negative prompt list that keeps the output away from generic stock-invitation looks. Use it before you brief a designer, or instead of one.
Quick Answers

How do I get a NovaKit writing skill and install it?

After checkout you land on a delivery page with a download link for a .skill file, and the same link is emailed to you. In Claude, open Customize → Skills → +, choose Upload a skill, and drag the file in. It appears in your skills list immediately and runs as a slash command — type / in any new chat and pick it. The whole install takes under 60 seconds, and it works on both claude.ai and the Claude desktop app.

Do I need a paid Claude subscription?

No. Every writing skill on this page runs on a free Claude.ai account, with no API key and no third-party tool. A Claude Pro plan is worth having for the longest outputs — a full screenplay, a 12-section course curriculum, a complete children's book manuscript — because it allows longer responses, but nothing here requires it.

How is a skill different from a prompt I could write myself?

A prompt is a fixed instruction that ages the moment you save it. A NovaKit skill does three things a prompt cannot: it runs live research before writing, so a genre or format is assessed as it stands now rather than as it stood in training data; it interviews you with three narrowing questions so the output matches your brief; and it runs an anti-slop quality gate that rewrites clichéd or AI-tell phrasing internally before delivery. The Cover Letter Writer and University SOP skills both ship an explicit cliché audit for exactly this reason.

Which writing skill should I buy for my job?

Match the skill to the artefact, not the topic. Writing fiction: Short Story Prompt for structure, Screenplay / Script for a spec script, Children's Book Prompt for KDP picture books. Job hunting: Resume & CV Builder plus Cover Letter Writer. Teaching: Lesson Plan Builder and Exam Paper Generator. Speaking at an occasion: Event Speech Writer, Wedding Vows Writer, or Eulogy Writer.

What does a writing skill cost, and can I get a refund?

Individual writing skills run from $5 to $15 — most sit at $5 to $9 — and it is a one-time purchase with unlimited runs, not a subscription. Bundles start at $15. The refund policy is 7 days, no questions asked: email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.

Can I try one before paying?

Yes. The LinkedIn Post Engine is free with no card required, and it uses the same architecture as every paid skill — live research, narrowing questions, and the anti-slop gate. Run it once and you will know exactly what the format of a NovaKit output looks like before you spend anything.
