Oh Story

Oh Story is an MIT-licensed skill pack that turns coding agents into a complete web-fiction writing workflow.

Oh Story is an MIT-licensed skill pack that turns coding agents like Claude Code and Codex into a web-fiction writing workflow. Its thirteen skills cover chart research, deconstruction, long-form serials, short stories, revision, and covers. It combines writing instructions with chapter blueprints, deterministic checks, and file-based project state. Users configure the host with a setup command, while specialist agents run directly where the host supports it. It also offers a separate browser workbench for novel writing called ZenStory Workbench.
