Write Book

Workflow

1. Read core contract, style rules, book plan, canon, and the immediately relevant prior chapter state.
2. Draft one CH-### at a time under 01_story/chapters/CH-###.md.
3. After the chapter, update 01_story/chapter_state.json with a compact navigation summary, then run story-state for durable changes to location, injuries, possessions, character knowledge, relationships, questions, promises/payoffs, prop state, life state, and chronology.
4. Before the next chapter, re-read its plan entry plus the saved state. Do not reread the entire manuscript unless a revision or continuity problem requires it.
5. Use summaries only for navigation. Treat the actual chapter text and canon as authority when wording or facts matter.
6. Run the style checker on every completed chapter.

Done

Every planned chapter exists through the ending, chapter state and story_state.json match the manuscript, and no chapter depends on unsaved conversational memory.
