This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a sequel", "write a prequel", "start book two", "continue the series", "companion novel", "spin-off", "link books in a series", "carry characters into the next book", "series continuity", "series bible", "pitch my series", "series pitch", "multi-book pitch", or needs to plan, pitch, or keep canon consistent across multiple Story Skills projects. NOT for a standalone book (use story-init), continuity within one book…
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
# Series Continuity ## Overview Plan and maintain sequels, prequels, and companion books as linked Story Skills projects. Each book stays a standalone project with its own `story.md`, characters, world, chapters, and continuity files. Books point at each other through `story.md` frontmatter, and `story series` checks the canon they share. - `series` - kebab-case series id shared by every book, such as `the-ember-cycle` - `series-title` - optional retail series name, such as `The Ember Cycle`, that the metadata sheet prints in place of the id - `book-number` - publication order (1, 2, 3...); `0` for a prequel published later, a decimal such as `1.5` for a between-books novella - `follows` - paths to books set **earlier** in the story's chronology - `precedes` - paths to books set **later** in the story's chronology Chronology and publication order are separate. A prequel written after the first book has `book-number: 2` and lists `../book-one` under `precedes`. …

How to install
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/series-continuity@sha256:323812868590ec18The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.4b8019d, 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.
