What problem does it solve? Starting a new web novel requires setting up consistent directory structures, configuration files, character cards, outlines, and tracking tables. Doing this manually is error-prone and leads to missing skeleton elements that cause quality problems later in the writing process. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Information Collection: Walks the author through one question at a time to capture book title, synopsis, protagonist age and setup, genre, planned length, and creative red lines. - Automated Scaffolding: Creates the standard book directory tree under ~/novels/books/ and auto-generates nine initial files including the main outline, chapter plan, book configuration, worldview, protagonist card, foreshadowing tracker, and storyline status. - Skeleton Gate Check: Blocks chapter writing until the protagonist card, at least three supporting character cards, three-act outline, first-volume detailed outline, and system golden-finger design are complete. - Multi-Book Management: Lists all books, switches the active book via current_book.txt, and deletes books with confirmation. - Use Case: An author says "start writing a new book called X" and receives a fully scaffolded project with templates pre-filled from the interview answers, ready for outline refinement. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant you want to create a new book and answer its guided questions about title, genre, protagonist, and creative red lines to generate the full project structure.
