Short & Steamy Instalove

They just met. It's already too late. And the reader is completely on board.

This Claude skill file is pre-built for short and steamy instalove — fast-burn novellas and short novels where the attraction is immediate, the heat arrives early, and the HEA lands within a compressed timeline without feeling rushed. Upload it once and Claude writes with the structural discipline this format demands: no filler, no slow-burn stalling, every scene earning its percentage of the word count by moving the relationship forward.

What's already built in: the instalove contract explained (what makes it work and what kills it), a three-act compression structure scaled to 15,000–40,000 words, heat guidance specific to short format including when and how many scenes, signature tropes (one night/one weekend, forced proximity fast feelings, the known stranger), hard limits including the no-insta-lust-mistaken-for-instalove rule, and a scene checklist with a test for whether the scene is moving at instalove speed or slow-burn speed.

Heat level calibrated for 4–5/5 — explicit, emotionally grounded, and purposeful. Add your target word count, your signature setting, and your heat calibration, and this skill becomes entirely yours.

Includes the genre skill file and the Quick-Start Prompt Sheet so you're writing with it in minutes.
