Or install globally:

npm install -g everyday-writer
everyday-writer install

Manual install: Clone the repo and copy the folder to ~/.claude/plugins/ew/.

Design Decisions

• Plugin name is ew not everyday-writer — shorter invocation path (/ew vs /everyday-writer)
• world-builder/ lives inside fiction/ — world building serves the writing, not the reverse
• core/anti-ai-rules.md is a dependency, not a skill — every sub-skill draws from it; it is never invoked directly
• references/ is a user-facing drop zone — the user dumps their existing instruction files here; Claude reads them when populating skills
• Onboarding splits by environment — claude-code-mode.md (active, user pastes samples) vs claude-ai-cowork-mode.md (passive, memory inference)
