Foreshadowing Audit

Use this skill to find forgotten plants, premature reveals, and accidental knowledge leaks.

Audit Sources

Check StoryBible ## Story State, ## Open Questions, prior chapter summaries, and the current chapter.

Questions

• Does a previously planted object, gesture, line, or absence need an echo here?
• Is a promised payoff being delayed intentionally, or has it been forgotten?
• Does any character know or infer information that should still be hidden?
• Does the narration reveal a mystery the author appears to be preserving?

Findings

Report only actionable issues.

• Use layer: continuity.
• Use severity: major for premature reveals or broken mystery logic.
• Use severity: minor for missing echoes or weak setup-payoff continuity.
• Point locationRef to the relevant chapter, scene, or paragraph.

Do Not

Do not invent new foreshadowing requirements. Audit what exists or what the current chapter clearly implies.
