Nightly Bedtime Story

A calm, age appropriate story to read aloud. Set it up once and a new story is ready every evening.

Nothing to install. No GitHub, no code. Works in the Claude app on your phone, computer or browser.

What it does

Every evening, a new story. You tell Claude the listener’s age, how long the story should be and what they love, and it writes a short story designed to be read aloud: simple sentences, a gentle arc, and a calm ending.

Stories change from night to night, and you can keep a recurring hero so they feel like they come from the same storyteller.

In progress. Real screenshots and the final Skill are coming soon. The illustration above shows the idea.

How to use it

No experience needed. Three steps.

  1. Add the Skill to Claude. Download it with the button on this page. In Claude, open Customize, then Skills, click +, choose Upload a skill, pick the .zip, and switch it on.

  2. Make your first story. In a new chat, type: Write a bedtime story. Claude asks a few quick questions (age, length, favourite things, time) and writes tonight's story.

  3. Make it nightly. When Claude offers to schedule it, say yes and press Schedule. From then on, a new story appears under Scheduled in Claude's sidebar every evening.
