Overview

This skill helps writers plan and manage narrative projects by organizing characters, chapters, plot outlines, timelines, and consistency checks. It adapts to common folder layouts and provides concrete workflows for character development, story structure, chapter drafting, and automated analysis. Use it to speed up planning, keep continuity clean, and produce well-structured chapters.

How this skill works

The skill scans the project root to detect character, chapter, planning, and summary folders, then selects the appropriate workflow based on the user's request. It offers guided templates for character profiles, story outlines, and chapter headers, and can run timeline and consistency scripts to produce human-readable reports. Results include suggested edits, timeline views, and flagged inconsistencies with actionable next steps.

When to use it

Develop or expand a character profile
Outline or revise story structure and act beats
Write or continue a chapter with consistent voice and timeline markers
Run timeline tracking to verify event order
Run consistency checks before major revisions or publication
Organize an unstructured project into standard folders

Best practices

Scan project structure first and load only the files relevant to the task
Match tone and voice to the summary and existing chapters
Keep timeline markers in chapter headers (e.g., Timeline: Day 5, Evening)
Treat character profiles as authoritative when resolving contradictions
Document any new plot clues or revelations after writing each chapter
Re-run timeline and consistency checks after major edits

Example use cases

"Help me develop this character" — build a full profile with arc, wound, and relationships
"Write the next chapter" — draft a chapter using POV, scene goals, and timeline markers
"Check consistency across my story" — run the checker and get a prioritized list of fixes
"Track the timeline of events" — generate a chronological event list and identify gaps
Organize scattered project files into folders: characters/, chapters/, story-planning/, summary.md

FAQ

It inspects the user request for keywords (character, outline, write, check, timeline) and the project structure, then follows a decision tree to select character development, story planning, chapter writing, or analysis workflows.

What formats do the analysis tools produce?

Timeline and consistency scripts output markdown for human review or JSON for programmatic use. Use markdown for readable reports and JSON for integrations or tooling.
