riff
benjaroy/riffPlugin
Riff is a plugin made up of nine opinionated skills for writing personal essays with Claude. The idea behind it is to treat writing with AI as a process to be supported instead of a product to be created, and to keep the writer in charge at every step of the way. Together, the skills form a pipeline so a user can start working with raw notes and get to a finished piece, but each skill also encourages time for pausing and reflection when appropriate. A persistent style profile built from a user's own writing keeps drafts in their voice across sessions, and the plugin is designed to handle personal material with care. The goal throughout is to make writing with Claude more fun and effective.
