Read-only story-bible auditor for fiction series with a documented canon. Cross-references character / artifact / location mentions in chapters against the bible and flags drift. Produces a drift report — never edits files. Use before opening or committing a chapter, or when reintroducing an established entity.
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
<objective> Read-only story-bible auditor for any book series that maintains a written canon. Before any insertion, rewrite, or commit — cross-references mentions of characters / artifacts / locations in the current text against the project's recorded canon. Flags drift. Does not edit the chapter or the bible. **Why this skill exists.** The same canon-break patterns recur across long-form fiction projects: a character's documented physical invariant gets accidentally inverted in a later chapter; an artifact moves room without explanation; a recurring character appears under a generic descriptor when an established proper name already exists; a count or age stated in the bible doesn't match what the text actually shows. Each break is cheap to catch at lint time and expensive to catch in print. Use cases: - before opening a new chapter — confirm the names / artifacts / locations you're about to establish don't duplicate something already established; - before `git commit` — staged diff vs canon; - when mentioning a known character in a new scene — gather all their prior appearances + their bible entry; …

How to install
mdr add mikefluff/skills/canon-check@sha256:c91130328697d60fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
