Story Initialization
Overview
Initialize a new story project with a structured markdown folder layout. Creates the story bible, character registry, worldbuilding index, plot structure, and chapter tracker - all as cross-referenced markdown files with YAML frontmatter.
When to Use
- Starting a new story, book, or fiction project
- Setting up the folder structure for an existing story idea
- NOT for adding to an existing story project (use the domain-specific skills instead)
Workflow
- Ask for basic story information:
- Title
- Genre and sub-genre
- Brief synopsis (2-3 sentences)
- Setting era/time period
