This skill should be used when the user asks to "revise a chapter", "continuity check", "find inconsistencies", "audit character state", "check timeline consistency", "developmental edit", "structural revision", "reverse outline", "cut a subplot", "revision passes", "what pass next", "pacing check" as a revision pass, "clue check", "cut to a word count", or "length pass", or to prepare existing story material for the next revision pass. NOT for planning book structure (use plot-structure)…

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

# Revision Continuity

## Overview

Revise existing Story Skills projects without losing continuity. Use this skill for targeted chapter edits, continuity audits, developmental revision, line edits, and pre-flight checks before drafting the next chapter.

## Prerequisites

A story project must already exist. Verify by checking for `story.md` in the project root, then run or inspect `story report .` when CLI access is available. Read `story.md` `language` (a missing field means `en`) and write every revision in that language; when a `story prose` or `story voices` check is reported as skipped for the language, do that check by reading.

## Named Revision Passes

Track a full revision as a ladder of named passes in `story.md`
`revision-passes`, so the work happens in order (big structural changes
before polishing sentences that may be cut) and survives between sessions:

```shell
story passes . --init            # writes the default ladder, keeping existing entries
story passes .                   # checklist with the checks each pass runs
story passes . --start pacing    # mark a pass in-progress
story passes . --done pacing     # mark it done
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/revision-continuity@sha256:56bd0cf5f65b393a

The 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.
