SKILL.md
Read the book against its own canon and timeline and flag the contradictions — before a reader finds them.
The one rule
This skill reads, cross-checks, and flags. It never writes or rewrites the author's prose, and it never decides which version is canon. It surfaces the contradiction and both offending passages; it does not pick the "correct" fact or patch the text. Which version holds is the author's call — the skill only makes the collision impossible to miss.
Craft criteria
It reasons from continuity-editing practice, grounded in the book's own facts (declared canon when the author provides it, inferred canon otherwise). It tracks:
- Character facts — names, appearance, age, relationships, established backstory.
- Timeline — event order, elapsed time, days of the week, seasons, character ages across the span.
- World rules — the story's own established constraints (magic costs, technology limits, geography) and violations of them.
- Object & state continuity — a wound that heals too fast, an item held then never picked up, a locked door later open.
- Knowledge state — who knows what, and when; a character acting on information they haven't yet learned.
- Spatial logic — travel times and distances that don't reconcile.
