SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Long-form fiction, screenplays, and multi-chapter productions accumulate character inconsistencies: out-of-character behavior, conflicting relationships, wardrobe or injury mismatches, broken motivations, and setting contradictions across chapters. This Skill systematically detects these issues with cited evidence instead of impressionistic judgment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Traceable Character Timelines: Builds first-fact records and time-ordered state logs per character, tracking what each character knows, wants, and can do at every story node.
  • Classified Conflict Detection: Separately audits identity facts, relationships, goals, knowledge boundaries, and physical state, distinguishing true contradictions from reasonable growth, deliberate deception, or unrevealed information.
  • Minimal-Impact Revisions: Proposes at least one minimal fix per confirmed conflict that preserves plot intent, and re-checks that fixes do not introduce new timeline or causality problems.
  • Use Case: Before production, feed a multi-chapter script or storyboard set to the auditor and receive a character state table, a severity-ranked conflict list with before/after evidence, and a stable-facts list to seed the character bible.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to audit the character continuity of the attached novel chapters or script and output a conflict list with evidence and minimal revision suggestions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check character continuity across novel chapters?

Provide the chapters or script text and ask for a continuity audit. The Skill builds a time-ordered state record per character, compares adjacent nodes and long-range callbacks, and returns a conflict list with cited evidence, severity, and minimal revision suggestions.

What types of character inconsistencies can be detected?

It audits five dimensions separately: identity facts, relationships, goals and motivations, knowledge boundaries, and physical state such as injuries, clothing, and props. Each finding is classified as a direct contradiction, missing transition, or suspected foreshadowing.

Can it tell the difference between OOC behavior and character growth?

Yes. The workflow explicitly separates reasonable growth and deliberate deception or misunderstanding from true setting conflicts. Findings without sufficient evidence are marked as pending confirmation rather than asserted as errors.

What inputs does a character continuity audit need?

It works on novels, scripts, storyboards, or character cards containing the narrative text. Every conclusion must point to at least two comparable pieces of textual evidence, so the source material itself is the only required input.

What are the limitations of automated continuity checking?

It does not invent missing settings to resolve conflicts and avoids large-scale rewrites for local issues. Ambiguous cases with insufficient evidence are flagged as pending confirmation for human judgment rather than auto-resolved.
