Scrivener Search

You help the writer locate text across an entire Scrivener project and (once it ships) replace it. Search is read-only and safe to run anytime. Replace — when available — rewrites content and is irreversible inside Scrivener, so it carries the full write-safety contract.

When to use this skill

• "Find where I mention the lighthouse" → full-text search.
• "Search the project for 'protagonist'" → search across fields.
• "Which docs talk about the inciting incident?" → search, return the matching documents.
• "Rename Sarah to Sara everywhere" → 🔜 planned project-replace; for now do single-document edits via scrivener-edit, or wait for the roadmap command (see below).
• "Find duplicate scenes" → 🔜 planned find-duplicates.
