refactor(fiction-assistance)!: reduce to portable guidance and analysis (v2.0.0) Strip the Universalis-specific vault layout and card-management machinery. The plugin is now a general-purpose fiction toolkit: nine commands that take a manuscript path/glob/selection via \$ARGUMENTS and write their output to the conversation. Surviving commands, flattened into commands/: - analyze-story: structural and statistical analysis - bechdel-test: representation tests (Bechdel + related) - check-continuity: plot/character/world continuity - check-voice: per-character voice consistency - developmental-review: structural feedback on a scene/chapter - extract-research: world-building and research inventory - final-review: synthesis of prior-phase reviews - generate-timeline: chronology with consistency checks - strategic-review: craft-based critique with priority ranking Removed (vault and card management): 10 update-*-cards commands, cleanup-generated, update-changed, update-links, update-chapter-summaries, validate-story, validate-pdf, score-scenes. The original bespoke command set is preserved in 65c29d7 for recovery. Agent (line-editor) and skill (reviewing-fiction) were already portable and are unchanged. plugin.json no longer needs the commands subdirectory paths since the layout is flat. Marketplace description updated to reflect the general-purpose scope. BREAKING CHANGE: All update-*-cards, cleanup-generated, update-changed, update-links, update-chapter-summaries, validate-story, validate-pdf, and score-scenes commands are removed. perform-bechdel-tests is renamed to bechdel-test. review-final is renamed to final-review.

description: Run representation tests (Bechdel and related) on a manuscript or scene
argument-hint: "[path, glob, or selection]"
allowed-tools: [Read, Glob, Grep]
---
Analyze the text at `$ARGUMENTS` against the representation tests below. For each test, give a clear **PASS / FAIL / N/A** with specific evidence (quoted dialogue or character action with location).
## Gender representation
1. **Bechdel Test** — At least two named women who talk to each other about something other than a man.
2. **Reverse Bechdel** — At least two named men who talk to each other about something other than a woman.
3. **Mako Mori Test** — At least one female character has her own narrative arc not in service of a man's story.
4. **Sexy Lamp Test** — Could any female character be replaced with a sexy lamp without affecting the plot? If yes, name them and explain.
## Character-prominence tests (assess if applicable characters exist)
5. **Sphinx Test** — How do women interact with other characters and what is their prominence in the action?
6. **DuVernay Test** — Do minority characters have fully realized lives beyond their relationship to the plot or to majority characters?
7. **Shukla Test** — Do two ethnic-minority characters talk to each other about something other than race/ethnicity?
## Output format
- One line per test: `**Test Name** — PASS/FAIL/N/A — brief explanation with quoted evidence`
- **Overall assessment** — strengths and weaknesses in representation
- **Patterns** — recurring issues or strengths worth flagging
Only assess what is present in the text. Don't infer character backgrounds the text doesn't establish.
