What problem does it solve? Long-form fiction projects lose coherence over dozens of chapters: facts drift, foreshadowing is forgotten, and context windows overflow. This Skill turns a vague idea into a managed novel-production workflow with durable continuity state, chapter contracts, and recoverable next steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Staged production chain: Move from idea to novel brief, story bible, volume plans, chapter contracts, complete drafts, humanization passes, and review, with only accepted chapters entering long-term memory. - Continuity and cross-book assets: Store facts, foreshadowing, resources, and relationships in authoritative YAML with rebuildable SQLite indexes, plus a cross-book asset graph for shared-IP canon with fork/sync governance. - Research and analysis routes: Analyze public chart metadata for genre trends and deconstruct authorized reference novels into evidence-backed notes and reusable mechanism cards. - Use Case: A writer with only a rough premise invokes the Skill, receives five opening seeds, picks a direction, and then produces and stabilizes one chapter at a time while the workspace tracks every fact and the next safe step. ## Quick Start Use $produce-long-form-novel to plan a long novel from my idea and show me the next production step.
