description	Activates automatically before writing a chapter. Ensures the AI loads the Constitution, Specification, Plan, and relevant character/setting context to prevent hallucination and maintain consistency.

Pre-Write Checklist Skill

TRIGGER: Whenever the user asks to "write chapter X" or execute a writing task.

Instructions for AI

Before generating any story text, you MUST perform this internal checklist:

1. Verify Constitution: Have you read memory/constitution.md? If not, ask the user for it or read it if available.
2. Verify Specification: Have you read the story specification? What are the core requirements?
3. Verify Plan: Have you read the creative plan for THIS specific chapter? What is the goal of this scene?
4. Verify Context: Do you know who is in this scene? Do you know where they are?
5. Verify Previous Chapter: Do you know how the previous chapter ended?

If you lack this context, you must ask the user to provide it or use your file reading tools to acquire it before writing.

Never write "blind." Long-form novel generation fails because the AI forgets the core rules established in the planning phase. This checklist prevents that degradation.
