Write your novel with AI.
No subscriptions. No token costs.

An Obsidian vault and Claude setup that replaces your entire writing tool stack. $19, one time.

You're already paying for Claude Pro. You just don't know what it can do with your writing.

Most AI writing tools charge you a monthly subscription, then charge you again for tokens on top. You end up paying for the tool, paying for the AI, and paying for the gap between them. Three bills for one workflow.

This is different. One folder on your hard drive. Your manuscript, your characters, your plot, your craft rules, and an AI that can actually see all of it. No cloud. No lock-in. No meter running.

What's in the download

Pre-built vault Codex, plot, manuscript, and development folders. Ready to write in.
19 shortcut commands Workshop scenes, draft chapters, edit prose, stress-test your writing, check continuity.
Craft skill files Prose, plot, character, structure, editing. The AI learns how fiction actually works.
Voice fingerprinting So the AI writes in your voice, not generic AI voice.
Prose guardrails Your rules for what the AI can and can't do with your writing.
Step-by-step guides Written for people who've never touched Obsidian or Claude before.

Typical writer's tool stack could cost $50-100/month. This setup: $19 once + $20/month for Claude Pro (required).

The honest bit

The AI doesn't write your book. It can help you plan, it can remember details, it can check continuity and character voice. It can draft fast when your brain won't cooperate. But most of what it drafts isn't right. Not broken, just not yours.

So you rewrite. And run it through again. And rewrite again. The AI gets you to the editing stage faster. The editing is still yours. That's why the book is yours.

What you need

  • An AI subscription. Commands and craft skills are designed for Claude Pro ($20/month, flat rate). Your files are plain markdown, so any AI that can read local folders works too.
  • Obsidian (free).
  • Nothing else. The guides walk you through everything step by step.

The $19 Novel

One download. Your files, your AI, your hard drive. No subscriptions.
