overviewstart herea map of the twelve skills — what each one takes in, and what it writes. write-manuala skill to take a folder containing a project, and write a user manual for it. write-paper-guidea skill to take one mathematical paper, and write a reading guide to it for a particular reader. write-critical-guidea skill to take one mathematical paper, and catalog the potential issues in it, indexed and analyzed. write-paper-repairsa skill to take the potential issues a critical guide found, and write the suggested changes into a copy of the paper's own source. write-review-and-repaira skill to take one mathematical paper, find potential issues, and mark up the repairs. write-correspondence-guidedrafta skill to take one mathematical paper, and write a correspondence guide placing it in the literature around it. write-topic-guidea skill to take several papers or books on one topic, and write a single guide explaining it. write-study-guidea skill to take a target result in the Stacks project or Kerodon, and write a reading route to it. write-body-of-work-summarya skill to take one mathematician's papers, and write an overview of their research program. write-workshop-state-guidea skill to take a live workshop's working record, and write up where the work stands. write-pure-math-papera skill to take theorem statements, proofs and notes, and write them into a finished mathematics paper. write-technical-reporta skill to take an experiment's logs, outputs and artifacts, and write them into a technical report.

getting it

a Claude Code plugin. each skill writes a document in the torsor house format — LaTeX source, with PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Markdown output — in the torsor design and prose style.

install

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/torsor/claude-plugins
claude plugin install torsor-writing@torsor-plugins
claude plugin list

all twelve /write-… skills are then available on that machine.

the skills used to read the prose library, reference templates, a style preamble, and tex2torsor by absolute path on one machine. here those are vendored into the plugin and referenced through ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, so nothing is tied to a particular box.

build prerequisites

the skills author and reference everything themselves, but building a document needs these on the box that runs make:

tex2torsor is bundled with the plugin, so it is not a separate prerequisite.
