SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents reader-breaking contradictions in multi-chapter manuscripts by detecting inconsistencies across characters, timelines, knowledge transmission, world rules, and plot thread continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-manuscript continuity audits that run in batch, full-manuscript, and post-revision modes to find character, timeline, information-flow, world-rule, and plot-thread errors.
  • Evidence-required issue reporting with CRITICAL/WARNING/MINOR findings and an output structure designed for editor triage.
  • V4.1 entity-state support that reads ENTITY_STATE.yaml when available to prioritize unresolved structured conflicts, then performs the standard continuity audits.

Quick Start

Run the continuity-guardian skill after your current 3-5 chapter batch to generate a continuity check report for the chapters written so far and all prior chapters.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for character consistency and timeline breaks in a multi-chapter manuscript?

To check character consistency and timeline breaks in a manuscript, run a continuity audit that reads foundation documents and relevant chapters to build tracking databases and produce evidence-backed findings. This detects reader-breaking contradictions across independently produced chapters.

How does manuscript continuity validation handle unresolved entity conflicts?

Manuscript continuity validation handles unresolved entity conflicts by reading an ENTITY_STATE.yaml file when present, prioritizing those structured conflicts, and then executing standard character, timeline, and plot thread audits to resolve them.

When do I need to run a plot thread tracking audit during book drafting?

You need to run a plot thread tracking audit after generating a batch of 3-5 chapters to check the newly written content against all prior chapters. This batch processing mode identifies plot thread continuity errors early in the drafting pipeline.

What is the best way to audit information flow and world rules across a long-form book?

The best way to audit information flow and world rules across a long-form book is performing an end-to-end continuity audit that verifies knowledge transmission and world-rule integrity, outputting an evaluation report with chapter-referenced quotes and severity classifications.

Can I use an adversarial review for post-revision manuscript continuity checks?

Yes, you can use an adversarial review for post-revision manuscript continuity checks. The audit operates in post-revision mode to find character, timeline, information-flow, world-rule, and plot-thread errors introduced during editing.
