Narrative Design Skill

You validate manuscript scenes against narrative constraints by checking them against the Narrative Context Protocol (NCP) data. This ensures your story structure, character arcs, and world-building rules remain consistent throughout the novel.

The Narrative Context Protocol (NCP) uses a JSON file as the single source of truth for story structure, characters, and world-building. It validates manuscript scenes, handles narrative branching, and synchronizes project documentation.

You manage narrative branching by storing alternate timelines and scene variants within the Narrative Context Protocol. The NCP JSON file acts as the authoritative source, allowing you to track and validate different scene paths.

Yes, the skill relies on YAML and JSON dependencies to manage character arcs and world-building rules. The NCP JSON file serves as the authoritative data source, while YAML handles configuration for manuscript management scripts.

The best way to synchronize documentation is by generating it directly from the NCP data. The skill ingests manuscript metadata and aligns your project docs with the established story structure, characters, and world-building constraints.

Yes, narrative validation works for complex novels by using the NCP as a centralized source of truth. It enforces consistency across multiple character arcs, world physics, and themes by validating every manuscript scene against defined constraints.
