Sleep Story — Calming Narrative

What it does

Sleep Story provides a structured authoring skill to generate calming narratives specifically engineered to help listeners fall asleep. It defines principles, templates, and language techniques: momentum without urgency, description over action, repetitive comfort patterns, present-tense immersion, and the Fade Protocol that reduces interest over time. The skill includes writing templates (Wandering Observer, Gentle Routine, Infinite Journey), sensory layering guidance (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory), pacing guidelines, and output persistence recommendations for saving drafts.

When to use it

Use this skill when producing bedtime podcast episodes, meditation narration, ASMR storytelling, or any audio-first content where the objective is to lower cognitive arousal and ease listeners into sleep. It's also useful for writers learning how to craft sleep-focused prose and for automated pipelines that generate long-form calming content.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false).
• References: no separate references dir, but the SKILL.md includes templates, exercises, and verification checks.
• Instructions: detailed step-by-step guidance on pacing, sentence structure, sensory layering, and example openings plus writing exercises and verification heuristics.

Compatible agents

Well-suited to agent platforms that produce long-form text and support voice delivery (Claude Code, Cursor, agent-zero style assistants); works with TTS pipelines and content-production agents.
