Run deterministic maintenance for Story Skills projects. Use the CLI for structure validation, registry rebuilds, word counts, link checks, continuity checks, project reports, next-action reports, schema migration, entity helpers, manuscript import, and manuscript export. The creative skills still own story decisions; this skill handles mechanical consistency.
Revises story projects with continuity-aware editing: chapter revisions, continuity audits, developmental edits, line edits, and timeline consistency checks while updating metadata and cross-references.
Generates structured confirmation notes for storytelling projects by reading config, arc, outline, and recent episode files. Supports new-story and continue-story modes.
Deploys web novel writing tool infrastructure (hooks, rules, agents, CLAUDE.md) to a user project directory. Merges configs without overwriting. Activated via /story-setup or writing project setup requests.

Prefer the first available command:
story <command> - when the package bin is installedbun run story -- <command> - when working from this repositorynode scripts/story.js <command> - bundled fallback, resolving scripts/story.js relative to this skill folderIf none of these are available, perform the requested maintenance manually using the conventions in story-init.
Run the installed or bundled CLI in place. Do not copy scripts/story.js into the user's story project, and do not create project-local build scripts, generator scripts, or bulk writer scripts to generate story content. Story projects should remain markdown-first, plus explicitly requested exports such as manuscript.md.
Run commands from the story project root, or pass the story path explicitly.
