Available Plugins

novel-studio

A comprehensive plugin for solo novelists. Integrates with Obsidian vaults for deep ideation, research, world-building, multi-agent chapter drafting, a 3-stage pre-writing validation pipeline, and a 5-stage critique pipeline with critics, judges, and implementers.

Setup:

1. Install the plugin (see above)
2. Set your Obsidian vault path:

   export OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH="/path/to/your/vault"
   

3. Run /novel-init to create the vault structure

Requirements:

• An Obsidian vault (or a directory where one will be created)
• Node.js (for the Obsidian MCP server via npx)

Commands:

Command	Description
/novel-init	Initialize vault with folder structure, templates, and dashboard
/novel-ideate	Deep concept exploration — variations, conflict web, stakes map, thematic framework
/novel-outline	Generate story structure — premise, act structure, chapter beats, plot threads
/novel-character	Create or edit character notes with voice profiles and relationship maps
/novel-world	Create or edit world-building — locations, magic, factions, history
/novel-research	Generate structured research briefs for accuracy and genre conventions
/novel-validate	Run the 3-stage pre-writing QA pipeline before drafting
/novel-write	Draft chapters with multi-agent collaboration, grounded in vault context
/novel-critique	Run the 5-stage critique pipeline on a chapter
/novel-status	View progress dashboard — chapters, word counts, plot threads, critique status

The 5-Stage Critique Pipeline:

Stage	Focus	Scope
1	Plot & Structure	Can restructure scenes
2	Character Development	Scene-level; structure locked
3	Prose Quality	Paragraph-level; characters locked
4	Dialogue	Line-level; prose locked
5	Continuity	Read-only audit

Each stage runs: 3 Critics (parallel) → 3 Judges (parallel vote) → 3 Implementers (parallel, except Stage 5).

The 3-Stage Pre-Writing Validation Pipeline:

Stage	Focus	Validators
A	Narrative Architecture	Plot Hole Detector, Stakes & Tension Auditor, Pacing Forecaster
B	Character Readiness	Arc Completeness, Voice Profile Auditor, Relationship Web
C	World Consistency	Rule System Auditor, Timeline Feasibility, Setting Coverage
