Atelier Litteraire - Ideation & redaction de romans courts#

Atelier is a complete literary writing workflow for OpenClaw, combining two specialized agents:

• Hermine — narrative ideation agent (H0→H4 pipeline)
• Herbert — literary writing agent (Pacte Narratif → Seeds → Jury → Final text)

What it does#

Starting from a pitch (one word, one sentence, a news article, a historical fact), Atelier:

1. Hermine analyzes the raw material and generates 5 narrative axes (3 natural + 2 radical counter-axes), scores them, and recommends the strongest
2. Herbert builds the Pacte Narratif, constructs character and world bibles, writes all seeds through 3 iterations with a 3-reader jury, compiles the final DOCX + PDF locally

Agents#

Hermine — Ideation Agent#

• Pipeline H0 (raw fact) → H1 (narrative substrate) → H2 (3 axes) → H3 (jury scoring) → H4 (2 radical counter-axes with Opus-level reasoning)
• Axes 1-3: natural ideation (Sonnet)
• Axes 4-5: forced rupture thinking — no reuse of any element from axes 1-3 (Opus)
• Scoring: f(x) = (x/100)^1.5 × 100, composite /10

Herbert — Writing Agent#

• Builds character bibles, world bibles, narrative pact
• Writes seeds (narrative units ~750 chars) through 3 iterations
• 3-reader jury: ordinary reader / demanding reader / world expert
• 10 weighted dimensions, composite score /10
• Thresholds: ≥8.0 validated / 6.0-7.9 iterate / <6.0 alert
• Compiles DOCX + PDF (continuous text, no chapter titles, no page breaks between units)
• Produces iteration report with jury scores

⚠️ Scope & Permissions#

This skill operates locally by default. It generates DOCX and PDF files saved to your workspace.

• No external accounts are accessed without explicit user confirmation
• No files are uploaded or published automatically
• Any export to external services requires the user to configure and trigger it manually
• Final human review is required before any publication or sharing

Usage#

Trigger Hermine with a pitch:

"Activate Hermine on this pitch: [your pitch]"

Or go directly to Herbert with a fully defined project:

"Activate Herbert, here is the Pacte Narratif: [...]"

Format rules (validated by author)#

All final documents:

• No unit/seed titles in the final text
• No page breaks between units
• Continuous text flow, blank lines between sections
• Liberation Serif 12pt, 1.5 line spacing, 2.5cm margins
• DOCX + PDF both produced
• Final DOCX + PDF saved locally

Requirements#

• OpenClaw with subagent support
• Anthropic Claude API (Sonnet for standard tasks, Opus for H4 counter-axes)
