What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you diagnose and correct point-of-view problems that break the narration contract, such as head-hopping, unnoticed interiority access, inconsistent POV shifts, or narration that feels “off” without you knowing why.
Core Features & Use Cases
- POV contract audit: Identifies what the current POV promises about access to interiority and observation, then uses that as the audit standard.
- Violation detection: Scans for interiority, observation, knowledge, and inconsistency violations (including close-third “access” that shouldn’t exist).
- Fit assessment and recommendation: Evaluates whether the POV serves the story’s core effect (dramatic irony, voice, uncertainty, character limitation) and suggests the next corrective move.
Quick Start
Use the writing-pov skill to audit your draft for POV violations and inconsistencies by identifying the current POV type, stating its contract, and listing any specific lines that break it.
