What is it?
Oh Story is a skill pack that brings a full Chinese web-fiction workflow into coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and Google Antigravity. It covers market scanning for popular genres, analysis of published bestsellers, outlining and drafting of long and short novels, removal of AI-style sentence patterns, and cover image generation. The writing model is the agent's own model, so no GPU or separate model deployment is needed.
The project keeps novel state in files rather than in chat history. Settings, outlines, manuscript text and tracking data are stored in separate folders, and a structured tracking file is the source of truth for foreshadowing, character knowledge and timelines. This lets a session resume progress after context is compressed or the conversation is restarted. Deterministic scripts check outlines before drafting and check chapters afterward for truncation, engineering wording and common AI phrasing.
The pack also includes a local dashboard bound to 127.0.0.1 for browsing and editing project files, and a reverse-import flow that turns an existing manuscript into a continuable project structure.
