Story Check

What it does

The story-check skill analyzes narrative text to identify potential inconsistencies or areas needing improvement. It helps ensure internal logic and coherence within a story, flagging issues related to character actions, plot progression, and worldbuilding details. The tool is designed for writers seeking feedback on their creative work.
