story worldbuilding and continuity
Example session with this skill installed
I want to retcon the magic system. Instead of requiring a physical wand, magic is now fueled by the user's memories. What breaks in the first three chapters?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the story worldbuilding
I have analyzed the current story graph for the proposed retcon: Magic source changed from [Wands] to [Memories].
Analysis
Entities Involved: Magic System (Rule), Protagonist (Elara), Antagonist (Kaelen).
Established Facts: Elara broke her wand in Chapter 1; Kaelen hoards rare wood for wand-making.
[PROPOSED] Facts: Magic casting causes gradual amnesia; power level scales with the emotional weight of the memory sacrificed.
Conflicts Found
[SEVERE] Chapter 1 Scene 2: Elara’s primary motivation for the "Market Heist" was to steal a replacement wand. If magic is memory-based, this entire scene loses its inciting incident.
2.
[MODERATE] World-Rule Violation: Rule "The Scarcity of Oak" (established Chapter 2) becomes irrelevant. Kaelen's status as a merchant lord of wood no longer provides a credible threat or source of power.
3.
[MINOR] Temporal Inconsistency: In Chapter 3, Elara hides her wand in a hollow log. This action now has no narrative function.
Downstream Effects (for decision)
If you proceed with this retcon, the following will be affected:
- Character Arc: Elara’s fear of losing her identity (memories) must replace her fear of being "disarmed."
- Plot Thread: The "Wand-Maker's Guild" subplot must be replaced with a group that manages or harvests memories.
- Climax: The final battle cannot rely on breaking a physical object to win.
Unresolved Questions
- Does the caster choose which memory to lose, or is it random?
- Can lost memories be recovered or stolen by others?
Next steps
- Confirm if Elara’s motivation in Chapter 1 should change to seeking a memory-preservation artifact.
- Decide if the Wand-Maker's Guild is deleted or pivoted to "Memory Weavers."
- Run
establish_factto finalize the memory-magic rules once the inciting incident is fixed.

About this skill
The problem
Writing long-form fiction often leads to "canon drift" where minor details from early chapters contradict later plot points. Authors lose track of who knows what, leading to logical gaps that require expensive, time-consuming structural rewrites.
What it does
- Maintains a living story graph that separates established canon from proposed ideas.
- Tracks character knowledge asymmetry to ensure secrets and reveals remain logically sound.
- Identifies causal cascades by showing exactly which future scenes break if a specific fact is changed.
- Runs multi-layer consistency checks across world rules, entity traits, and temporal states.
- Logs retcons and decisions to preserve a clear audit trail of the story's evolution.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLM prompts often forget details from several thousand words ago or hallucinate new facts that contradict your world-building. This tool uses a formal data model to treat your story as a queryable database, ensuring that continuity checks are grounded in a rigid log of established facts rather than vague probabilistic recall.
Use cases
- Audit a new chapter draft against established magic system rules and character traits.
- Simulate the downstream effects of a proposed plot twist before committing to a retcon.
- Manage complex "who knows what" secrets in a multi-POV mystery or political thriller.
- Identify the highest-leverage unresolved world-building questions before starting a new act.
Known limitations
This skill does not generate creative prose or invent plot points autonomously. It functions as a logical validator and requires the user to confirm when a proposed idea becomes established canon.
