What problem does it solve?
Writers often struggle to keep character details, timelines, and plot beats consistent across many markdown files and scattered notes, which leads to contradictions, pacing issues, and lost story momentum. The storyboard-manager centralizes story planning, automates timeline extraction, and surfaces continuity problems so authors can iterate confidently.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Character Development: Create and enhance character profiles with backstories, arcs, relationships, and voice guidance using reference frameworks.
- Story Planning & Structure: Recommend and apply established frameworks (Three-Act, Hero's Journey, Save the Cat) and generate planning documents and beat sheets.
- Chapter & Scene Writing: Produce chapter and scene drafts that respect POV, timeline markers, and established character traits for smooth continuity.
- Timeline Tracking & Consistency Checking: Run automated scripts to extract chronological events, group events by character/chapter, and report contradictions with severity levels in Markdown or JSON.
- Use Case: Turn a disorganized folder of character files and chapters into a coherent timeline and fix age/description inconsistencies before final revisions.
Quick Start
Ask the storyboard-manager to write the next chapter from the chosen POV using existing character profiles and then run the consistency checker and timeline tracker.
