Character Management
Overview
Create and manage rich character profiles for a story project. Each character is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter in the characters/ directory. Characters are cross-referenced with other story elements through kebab-case identifiers.
Prerequisites
A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill). Verify by checking for story.md in the project root.
Creating a Character
- Read
story.mdfor genre, themes, and tone context - Read
characters/_index.mdfor existing characters - Ask for the character's name and role (protagonist, antagonist, supporting, minor)
- Build the profile through conversation, exploring:
- Appearance and distinguishing features
- Personality, traits, and quirks
- Backstory and formative events
