This skill should be used when the user asks to "validate", "reindex", "repair registries", "check links", "run the continuity, pacing, clue, voice, or name checks", "count words", "summarize a story project", "import an existing manuscript", "export a manuscript", "run a build", "generate a diagram", "record revision-pass status with `story passes`", "run the story CLI", or wants deterministic maintenance on a Story Skills markdown project.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Story Maintenance ## Overview 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, pacing, clue, voice, and name checks, revision-pass tracking, Mermaid diagrams, schema migration, entity helpers, manuscript import, and manuscript export and builds. The creative skills still own story decisions; this skill handles mechanical consistency. It runs a check and reports what it found, and fixes mechanical problems such as broken references and stale registries; deciding what a finding means for the story, and revising the story to fix it, belongs to revision-continuity, plot-structure, voice-style, or genre-craft. ## CLI Access Prefer the first available command: 1. `story <command>` - when the package bin is installed 2. `node scripts/story.js <command>` - bundled fallback, resolving `scripts/story.js` relative to this skill folder 3. `node <checkout>/bin/story.js <command>` - only when the user names a Story Skills repository checkout or you are working in one, where `<checkout>` is its path …

How to install
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/story-maintenance@sha256:f3d648b72185f86cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.6098078, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
