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.

| Build a chronological timeline from a manuscript's events | [path, glob, or selection] |
|
Read the material at $ARGUMENTS and construct a chronological timeline of events. The result is a reference document the writer can use to spot inconsistencies and ground future revisions.
What to extract
For each event of plot significance, capture:
- Event — what happens, in one sentence
- When — absolute date/time if given, otherwise relative timing ("the morning after X", "three days before the inciting incident")
- Duration — if the event takes more than a moment
- Characters involved
- Location
- Source — chapter/scene where this is established
- Significance — major plot point, minor beat, background
Include events from any era the text references — pre-story backstory, on-page action, and any post-story implications mentioned in epilogue or dialogue.
Output format
Three sections:
1. Backstory timeline
Events that happened before the story opens, in chronological order. Include character histories and world events the text references.
2. Story timeline
On-page events, in chronological order (not necessarily the order they're presented in the text). Note where the narrative diverges from chronology — flashbacks, parallel scenes, time-jumps.
3. Consistency issues
- Contradictions — A happens before B in one place and after in another
- Impossibilities — character in two places at once, travel times that don't add up
- Gaps — unexplained jumps in character or plot timeline
- Vague spots — events where the timing is ambiguous and should be firmed up
Format the timelines as Markdown lists or tables. Cite chapters/scenes for every entry. Keep entries to one or two sentences each.
