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.

| Analyze character voice — consistency, distinctiveness, and development | [path, glob, or selection] |
|
Read the manuscript at $ARGUMENTS and analyze how distinct and consistent each character's voice is. Report findings to the conversation.
What to analyze
For each named character with meaningful dialogue:
Speech profile
- Vocabulary — formal/informal, technical/plain, characteristic word choices
- Sentence shape — short/long, complete/fragmented, complex/simple
- Rhythm — clipped, flowing, interrupted, deliberate
- Emotional register — how they show anger, fear, affection, humor
- Background markers — regional, generational, professional, cultural cues that appear in speech
Consistency
- Does the voice hold across scenes and chapters?
- Does it adapt appropriately under stress, with different conversational partners, or across an arc — or does it slip and re-form without reason?
- Does any growth in the character show up in the voice rather than only in the narration?
Distinctiveness
- Could a reader identify the speaker with the dialogue tags removed? Test by sampling unattributed lines.
- Are any two characters bleeding into each other? Name the overlap.
- Are any characters' voices so close to the narrator's that they don't stand out?
Output format
Per character (focus on the major ones):
- Voice profile — 2-3 sentences capturing the signature
- Sample lines — 2-3 quoted lines that exemplify the voice
- Consistency — strong / mostly stable / drifts; cite the strongest example and any slip
- Distinctiveness — distinctive / shared traits with [other character] / undifferentiated
Close with:
- Overall assessment — which voices are working, which need work
- Priority fixes — three to five concrete suggestions ordered by impact
