Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What does Init do to initialize a new project?
Init bootstraps new short-story projects by guiding you through topic selection and generating six foundational documents: metadata, worldbuilding, characters, chapter plan, craft constraints, and manuscript placeholder. After generation, Init runs mechanical validation plus blind review to catch logical conflicts, character arcs, pacing, and foreshadowing before delivery.
Can Init automate project configuration and scaffolding?
Yes. Init automates project configuration and scaffolding by handling topic selection, document generation, and validation in a single workflow. You provide your story concept, and Init creates the complete foundational structure—metadata through manuscript placeholder—plus runs checks to ensure consistency across all generated materials.
How does Init help with project setup automation?
Init provides setup automation by eliminating manual scaffolding steps. Instead of creating metadata, worldbuilding notes, character sheets, and chapter plans separately, Init generates all six foundational documents at once, then validates them mechanically and through blind review to catch conflicts before you begin writing.
What validation does Init perform after bootstrap?
Init performs mechanical validation and blind review after bootstrapping your project. These checks catch logical conflicts, character arc issues, pacing problems, and foreshadowing gaps across your generated documents, ensuring the foundation is solid before you start the actual manuscript work.
Is Init available under an open-source license?
Yes. Init is licensed under GPL-3.0, making it open-source software. You can use, modify, and distribute Init according to the terms of the GPL-3.0 license.
What documents does Init generate for a new story?
Init generates six foundational documents for each new short-story project: metadata (story essentials), worldbuilding (setting and context), characters (cast and roles), chapter plan (narrative structure), craft constraints (stylistic rules), and manuscript placeholder (ready for your prose).
