Can I use this skill if I already have a book outline?

Yes. You can use the /specify command to import your existing outline, which the skill will then format into a structured 'story specification' for tracking and consistency.

How does this skill handle narrative consistency?

It uses an integrated Consistency Checker that runs in the background during the writing phase and offers a dedicated /analyze command to verify plot and character integrity.

What is the 7-step methodology used in this skill?

The methodology consists of: Constitution (principles), Specify (details), Clarify (ambiguities), Plan (structure), Tasks (execution), Write (drafting), and Analyze (quality check).

Does it support different genres like Fantasy or Romance?

Yes, the workflow is genre-agnostic but automatically triggers domain-specific skills (like Romance or Fantasy) when relevant keywords are detected in your story specification.
