What it does

Webnovel Writer guides the author of a long web novel from the idea to hundreds of chapters and keeps world rules, character arcs and planted hooks from getting lost in the text. The plugin installs through the Claude Code marketplace and provides eight commands: `/webnovel-init` builds the book project, `/webnovel-plan` lays out a volume and chapters, `/webnovel-write` writes a chapter, `/webnovel-review` reviews chapters, `/webnovel-query` answers about the state, `/webnovel-learn` records techniques in project memory, `/webnovel-dashboard` opens the dashboard and `/webnovel-doctor` checks files and dependencies. A chapter goes through a strict nine-step chain. First the project is checked, then a context agent prepares the chapter brief, the text is drafted from the brief, and a reviewer checks it against several criteria, with serious findings blocking progress. Next come polish and a final check for traces of machine writing, a data agent extracts the chapter's facts, and they are recorded as an accepted chapter commit. From it the state in `state.json`, the index, the summaries, long-term memory and the vector store are updated. At the end the chapter is backed up. Search over earlier chapters runs in `auto` mode: vector search through an external embedding model first, and BM25 when no key is set. The book has 37 genre templates that can be mixed.

Who it is for. For authors of long Chinese-language web novels who write with Claude Code and want the plot and world of the book to stay consistent over hundreds of chapters.

Example request

Run /webnovel-write 45: prepare the context for chapter forty-five, write it, check it with the reviewer and show a report with findings

Limitations

• The master branch with this version 6 is in maintenance mode: the author fixes only critical bugs. New development happens on the v8 branch built on DeepSeek Harness, where installation differs.
• Vector search needs external embedding and reranking services (ModelScope and Jina by default) with your keys in the book's `.env` file. Chapter text and queries go to those services, and without a key the search falls back to BM25 and works worse.
• The plugin installs Claude Code hooks: at session start it prints a short project status, and before file writes and Bash commands it blocks direct edits to internal state files. The write check can be turned off with the `WEBNOVEL_DISABLE_RUNTIME_GUARD_HOOK` variable.
• The front page carries ads for three third-party model access intermediary services. They are not needed for the plugin to work, and SkillFoxx has not evaluated them.
• The author states the project was built with Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Codex by vibe coding. The license is GPL-3.0.

How to disable. Disable or remove the plugin with the Claude Code plugin commands: `claude plugin uninstall webnovel-writer@webnovel-writer-marketplace`. Uninstalling leaves the book directories (`正文`, `大纲`, `设定集`, `.story-system`, `.webnovel`) alone, so you can keep them as manuscripts or delete them by hand.

README in short

The repository's front page, in Chinese, opens with branch information: master holds version 6 for Claude Code, while v8 carries a workspace on DeepSeek Harness. Then come sponsor blocks, an explanation of why the plugin exists, a table of eight commands, a data flow diagram and marketplace installation. After that are the setup for vector search, the chapter writing chain, a final report in three blocks, 37 genres, a list of CLI subcommands, document links, contribution rules, version history and the GPL v3 license. The repository has tests, issue templates and architecture documents.
