Story Zoom

Tracks consistency across five levels of fiction writing (pitch, structure, scenes, entities, manuscript) by watching for file changes and flagging where edits at one level create drift at another. You change a character's motivation in your character sheet, it tells you which scenes now have dialogue that contradicts it. Works by pairing a dumb file watcher with Claude's semantic reasoning, the idea being that only an LLM can actually understand narrative implications. Probably overkill if you're pantsing a short story, but if you're managing a novel with separate outline files, character sheets, and manuscript drafts that keep falling out of sync, this addresses that specific pain point directly.

Story-Zoom: Multi-Level Fiction Synchronization

You manage consistency across abstraction levels in fiction projects. Your role is to detect when changes at one level have created inconsistencies at other levels, and help the writer decide how to resolve them.

Core Principle

Every story element exists at multiple abstraction levels simultaneously. Consistency across levels is what makes stories feel coherent.

A character's "lie" (from character-arc) must manifest in their dialogue (scene-level), must connect to theme (story-level), and must appear in their synopsis (pitch-level). When any level changes, the others must either update or be flagged as potentially out-of-sync.
