SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of scattered project truth by creating a single, binding canon store for books, research, or nonfiction work so ideas, facts, and sources stay consistent across agents and sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canon Store Creation: Generates LORE.md for book or writing projects and SOURCES.md for research or nonfiction projects.
  • Mode-Aware Ingestion: Supports interview-driven setup, scanning existing material, or seeding from a brainstorm artifact.
  • Workflow Enforcement: Preserves the repo's existing-store check, domain and template mapping, recommendation-first interview, review gate, and closing handoff.
  • Use Case: A writer can use this Skill to turn a new manuscript repository into a structured source of truth before drafting begins.

Quick Start

Use the ferrox-canon-init skill to inspect this repository and create the appropriate canon store from the existing project context.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a single source of truth for my manuscript notes and research sources?▼

A canon store consolidates scattered project truth into a single binding file. It generates LORE.md for writing projects or SOURCES.md for research, ensuring facts and sources stay consistent across agents and sessions.

What is the best way to consolidate scattered lore and brainstorming artifacts into a canonical format?▼

Mode-aware ingestion consolidates scattered lore and brainstorming artifacts by scanning existing material or seeding from a brainstorm artifact. This maps domain templates and drafts canonical facts into a binding store.

How do I set up a canon store for a new book repository before drafting begins?▼

Setting up a canon store for a new book repository requires structured intake and an existing-state check. Workflow-gated drafting then preserves canonical facts into LORE.md before you begin writing.

Does this canon store creation tool work with existing research notes and bibliographies?▼

Yes, canon store creation works with existing research notes and bibliographies. It performs an existing-state check to scan current material and consolidates those sources into a binding SOURCES.md file.

Can I use an interview-driven setup to establish project truth for nonfiction writing?▼

Yes, you can use an interview-driven setup to establish project truth for nonfiction writing. This mode-aware ingestion uses a recommendation-first interview to map domains and generate your canonical SOURCES.md file.

When should I not use a binding canon store for my writing workflow?▼

You should avoid a binding canon store if your project lacks structured intake or existing material to consolidate. Without workflow-gated drafting and a review gate, preserving canonical facts across sessions fails.
