Medieval Historical Romance Skill

He owes his loyalty to his lord, his king, his clan, his code. He did not plan to owe it to her. He does now.

This Claude skill file is pre-built for medieval historical romance — epic, honor-bound stories where love defies duty, or reshapes it into something worth having. Upload it once and Claude writes with the period's specific weight: the feudal obligations that create conflict, the honor code that makes the hero who he is and also what stands between them, and the heroine's intelligence working every avenue the world makes available to her.

What's already built in: brand promise and the medieval romance reader contract, heat level calibration by subgenre (Highland at 3–4, knight/crusades at 2–3, Viking at 3–4, arranged marriage across the full range), period accuracy notes covering feudal mechanics, title usage, language guidance, and the most common research errors, hero and heroine archetypes, signature tropes (arranged marriage, the warrior's gentle side, captive romance, forbidden alliance, the knight's honor tested), and a scene checklist with a period-integration test.

Heat level ranges 2–4/5 depending on your subgenre lane. Add your specific century and region, your clan or kingdom, and your heat calibration, and this skill becomes entirely yours.

Includes the genre skill file, the Period Accuracy Quick Reference — a formatted research companion covering titles and forms of address for English/Norman, Highland, and Norse settings; feudal social mechanics; language guidance with a period-appropriate phrase guide; everyday life detail for food, castle life, clothing, and warfare; and the most common anachronism traps by subgenre flagged in red so you don't accidentally give your Viking a horned helmet or let your Highland heroine wear a clan tartan two centuries too early — plus the Quick-Start Prompt Sheet so you're writing with it in minutes.
