README

graphify-novel: Writing assistant with knowledge graph

[English](README.md) | [Tiếng Việt](README.vi.md)

Write. Don't track.

As your story grows, so does the overhead. Where was this character last seen, did you already establish that rule, which threads are still open? ```graphify-novel``` handles all of that so you can stay in the prose.

Give it a premise and it scaffolds your story bible. Feed it a chapter and it checks for contradictions, flags unresolved setups, and updates every character and thread automatically. Ask it a question and it traces connections across your full manuscript.

This skill uses [graphify](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify) under the hood to extract a knowledge graph from your chapters and bible, mapping relationships between characters, locations, events, and themes across the full manuscript. This is what powers cross-chapter queries, structural hub detection, and the implicit connection hints in review.

Prerequisites

Any coding assistant (Copilot, Claude, etc)
[graphify](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify) skill installed. If not already installed, the assistant will help you install it before continuing.

You can start with an empty project. But if it's an existing project, make sure your finished chapters are in `chapters/`, in-progress drafts are in `draft/` and static files in `static/`.

If you already had an existing bible/story-tracking structure, it won't be compatible. Move them outside the project then retrofit them into the new stru
