continuity-editorlisted

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. ## Scope Set at intake, because a continuity pass on a long book can't be held in memory all at once: - **Full audit** — build a canon model of the whole book and cross-check every thread.
