What it does

Continuity Pass is an agent skill from forsonny/Claude-Code-Novel-Writer. Audit a chapter range or current manuscript for contradictions, timeline errors, knowledge leaks, rule violations, and unresolved continuity risks.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Use Claude Code CLI to write full novels.

Example prompts

  • “/continuity-pass”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the requested scope. If none is supplied, use the most recent three completed chapters plus earlier chapters they directly depend…
  2. Read .agents/roles/continuity-editor.md.
  3. If the harness exposes a named continuity-editor specialist, delegate the bounded audit to it. Otherwise perform that role directly.
  4. Check findings against manuscript prose, character state, world state, and the accepted outline.
  5. Group findings as critical contradiction, likely inconsistency, possible concern, and intentional or ambiguous.
  6. Require exact manuscript file references for every finding.
  7. Do not edit prose unless the user requested fixes.
  8. If fixes are requested, make the smallest changes that restore continuity, then recheck the affected scope.
  9. Clear planning/continuity-flag.txt only after the requested review has actually been completed.
  10. Report what was checked, findings, fixes made, and remaining uncertainty.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 017cd8b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Continuity Pass loads about 308 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~308

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 145 words (~308 tokens).

“Use any chapter range or priorities supplied with the invocation.”
