novel-init

What problem does it solve?

Automates the initialization of a new novel project, creating the entire directory structure, baseline memory graphs, worldbuilding scaffolds, and initial drafting contracts to standardize workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create memory, chapters, templates, and CLAUDE.md to establish a reusable project scaffold for long-form writing.
• Generate baseline memory graph (memory/_graph.json) and index (memory/_index.json) to support knowledge graph-driven worldbuilding.
• Prepare world-building progress tracking and future planning directories to enable phased storytelling.
• Provide a ready-to-use project contract and structure that guides subsequent skills like novel-discuss, novel-plan, and novel-write.

Quick Start

Tell me your novel title and type, and I will initialize the project skeleton with the default memory, chapters, templates, and CLAUDE.md.
