What it does
nai5-prompting is a set of Agent Skills for composing NovelAI Diffusion V5 prompts. The main form is 11 separate skills with `SKILL.md` files and references: ideas and story seeds (`nai5-ideas`), scene and setting (`nai5-scene-design`), style, light and color (`nai5-art-direction`), original character design (`oc-character-design`), illustration composition, comic storyboards, costume design, shared writing syntax, turning a comic or a costume into a prompt, and a reverse prompt from a finished picture (`nai5-reverse-prompt`). The agent takes only the skill it needs and reads its references as the task requires. If you ask for a single main string, it returns a `Base Prompt:` block without character lines, and when editing words it changes only the fragments you named and lists side effects separately. The skills produce prompt text and run nothing: you get an image by pasting the prompt into NovelAI by hand. Besides the split version the repository holds archives: a merged one (two volumes), a single file, a short `nai5-mini` skill for ordinary illustrations and variants for Gemini's web interface, where several skills cannot be installed.
Who it is for. Anime illustrators and comic authors working in NovelAI who want an agent to come up with the idea and write the V5 prompt itself.
Good fit when
- You only have a theme and a couple of images and the agent must work out the scene and composition
- An original character needs looks, clothing and behavior with steady details across a series of frames
- A multi-panel comic storyboard turns into main and character lines of a prompt
- You need a prompt from a finished picture that you can edit, or just a part of it
- One word is corrected in a finished prompt without touching the rest of the text
Not a fit when
- You need automatic image generation: the skills write text, and calling NovelAI takes separate tools
- A model of another generation or another service: the rules are written for Diffusion V5
- You want a catalog of other people's prompts: this is a method, not a collection
- You want a short memo for one picture: the author keeps a separate `nai5-mini` skill for that
Example request
Come up with a rainy street scene with two heroines and write a NovelAI V5 prompt, with the main string and the character lines kept separateLimitations
All material is in Chinese, references included, so a non-Chinese reader needs an agent that translates tasks and answers. The GPL-3.0 license sets its own terms for copying and distribution. Gemini on the web needs the strict version, and the strict-safe variant, which the author tested only for import and not for image generation, covers safety blocks. The skills do not create images and do not fill in the NovelAI interface, so that is done by hand.
How to disable. Delete the nai5-* and oc-* folders from the agent's skills directory (`~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.agents/skills/` or `.cursor/skills/`) and restart the client.
FAQ
How do I install nai5-prompting in Claude Code?
Copy the 11 folders from the repository's `skills/` into `~/.claude/skills/` or a project's `.claude/skills/` and restart the client. Easier still, send the agent the repository link and ask it to follow INSTALL.md, and it lays out the files itself.
Which version of the set should I pick?
The split version of 11 skills: it is the main one and installs by default. Take the merged or single-file version only if your client accepts one skill, and the short `nai5-mini` for ordinary single illustrations.
What do I do in Gemini's web interface?
Import the strict package: all 11 skills are merged into one with `SKILL.md` at the archive root. If Gemini blocks it on safety grounds, take strict-safe, named `nai5-art-studio-safe`.
Does the set create images?
No, it produces only prompt text and ideas. You get the picture by pasting the prompt into NovelAI. Autofilling the interface and calling the service take other tools.
Does the set work for Cursor and Codex?
Yes. INSTALL.md gives `~/.cursor/skills/` for Cursor and `~/.agents/skills/` for Codex, plus project paths. The structure of a skill folder with SKILL.md inside has to stay intact.

README in short
The README explains that the project gives an agent a method for writing NovelAI V5 prompts and runs nothing. Three ways to install the skills are described: hand the agent the link, download an archive and give it to the agent, or copy the folders by hand. Tables of versions follow (split, merged, single, short, strict) together with the list of 11 skills with their references and archives.
