At a glance
Imports an existing novel manuscript into an InkOS project, rebuilds its story state, and keeps your own chapters apart from reference material and fan-fiction canon.
- Importing an existing novel into an InkOS project to continue it
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Keeping a text as reference material without turning it into chapters
- Extracting world rules and character voice from a fan-fiction source
What it does
This skill covers turning a finished or partial manuscript into an editable, continuable InkOS project. The agent first works out what you want: import the text as real chapters of the active book and rebuild its state, keep it as reference material only, or use an archived source to guide future chapters for purposes you state. Chapter order follows natural chapter-number sorting, and when the active book already has chapters the agent confirms where the continuation should begin.
After an import the agent reports how many chapters came in, any gaps it found, the facts it reconstructed, what remains uncertain and the next safe point to continue writing. Missing canon is flagged for later confirmation instead of being invented. For fan-fiction canon it extracts world rules, character identity and voice, key-event order, information boundaries, capability limits and style traits, citing only the evidence you supplied. Your own manuscript is never treated as an imitation target by default, and a reconstruction rubric file is loaded for large or inconsistent manuscripts.
When your agent uses it
- Importing an existing novel into an InkOS project to continue it
- Keeping a text as reference material without turning it into chapters
- Extracting world rules and character voice from a fan-fiction source
- Rebuilding story state from a long or inconsistent manuscript
Example prompts
- “Import the chapters in manuscript/ as real chapters of my current book and rebuild the story state.”
- “Treat this archived novel as reference material only, not as chapters.”
- “Extract the canon from this fan-fiction source and mark anything the text does not state as unknown.”
Requirements
- An InkOS project with an active book
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8fc2ae5. 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
InkOS Story Import loads about 360 tokens when it runs, and up to ~517 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Story import and reconstruction
Use this skill when the user wants an existing manuscript to become an editable, continuable InkOS project.
- Determine the user's intent before acting:
import_chapters: the text becomes real chapters in the active book and InkOS reconstructs state.ingest_material: the text remains reference material only.manage_book_reference: an archived source should guide future chapters for user-stated purposes.
- Preserve chapter order with natural chapter-number ordering. Confirm the continuation point when the active book already has chapters.
- Never treat a user's own manuscript as an imitation target by default.
- After import, report imported chapter count, detected gaps, reconstructed facts, uncertainties, and the next safe continuation point.
- Do not invent missing canon to make the project look complete. Mark uncertainty for later confirmation.
- For fan-fiction canon extraction, preserve world rules, character identity and voice evidence, key-event order, information boundaries, capability limits, and observable style traits. Cite only supplied evidence; mark absent material as unknown instead of inferring it.
- Respond in the user's language.
