Bible Keeper Skill

Purpose

Maintain the living SHOW_BIBLE.md document that consolidates all story artifacts into a single authoritative reference. Track changes and ensure consistency across all documents.

Trigger

Runs continuously after story-intake completes. Updates after each major artifact change.

Inputs Required

• •All story artifacts as they are created/modified:
  • •CREATIVE_BRIEF.md
  • •POWER_STACK.md
  • •LOGLINE_LOCK.md
  • •CHARACTER_SHEETS/*.md
  • •RELATIONSHIP_MAP.json
  • •EP{{XX}}_BEATS.md
  • •EP{{XX}}_SCENELIST.md
  • •SCRIPTS/SCRIPT_EP{{XX}}.md

Outputs Produced

• •SHOW_BIBLE.md - Consolidated reference document
• •BIBLE_CHANGELOG.md - Version history

Process

Step 1: Initial Bible Creation

After CREATIVE_BRIEF.md and LOGLINE_LOCK.md exist, create initial SHOW_BIBLE.md:

# Show Bible: {{SHOW_TITLE}}

## Quick Reference
- **Logline**: [from LOGLINE_LOCK]
- **Genre**: [from CREATIVE_BRIEF]
- **Tone**: [from CREATIVE_BRIEF]
- **Episode Length**: [from POWER_STACK]

## Core Concept
[Synthesized from CREATIVE_BRIEF]

## Characters
[Will be populated from CHARACTER_SHEETS]

## Relationships
[Will be populated from RELATIONSHIP_MAP]

## World & Setting
[From CREATIVE_BRIEF]

## Visual Identity
[From CREATIVE_BRIEF aesthetic keywords]

## Episode Guide
[Will be populated as episodes are written]

Step 2: Character Integration

When CHARACTER_SHEETS are created:

For each character, add to bible:

• •Name and role
• •One-paragraph summary
• •Key relationships
• •Arc trajectory
• •Visual description (for reference generation)

Do NOT duplicate full CHARACTER_SHEET—link to it.

Step 3: Relationship Integration

When RELATIONSHIP_MAP.json is created:

• •Add relationship summaries to bible
• •Include current axis values
• •Note arc directions
• •Track private language

Step 4: Episode Integration

When each episode script passes Gate 5:

• •Add episode to Episode Guide
• •Summary (2-3 sentences)
• •Key character moments
• •Relationship changes
• •New information revealed
• •Continuity impacts

Step 5: Change Tracking

For every update:

## Changelog Entry

**Date**: {{DATE}}
**Change**: {{DESCRIPTION}}
**Affected Artifacts**:
- {{ARTIFACT_1}}
- {{ARTIFACT_2}}
**Reason**: {{WHY_CHANGE_WAS_MADE}}
**Verified By**: {{SKILL_OR_HUMAN}}

Step 6: Consistency Monitoring

Continuously check for:

Flag any inconsistencies for resolution.

Step 7: Canon Lock Status

Track what is locked vs. flexible:

LOCKED (cannot change without major revision):

• •Character names and core identities
• •Fundamental relationships
• •World rules
• •Established timeline events

FLEXIBLE (can evolve with story):

• •Minor character details
• •Unexplored backstory
• •Future arc directions

Step 8: Visual Reference Integration

When v0.2 begins, add:

• •Reference image paths
• •Visual anchors for each character
• •Location reference links
• •Style guide summary

Update Triggers

Update SHOW_BIBLE.md when:

• •New character sheet created
• •Relationship map updated
• •Episode passes Gate 5
• •Any canon fact established
• •Visual references generated
• •Continuity issue resolved

Consistency Alerts

Generate alert if:

• •Character fact contradicts established canon
• •Timeline event conflicts with prior event
• •Relationship change not tracked in map
• •Location used that doesn't exist in references

Notes

• •Bible is REFERENCE, not source of truth
• •Source documents (CHARACTER_SHEETS, etc.) remain authoritative
• •Bible provides consolidated view for easy access
• •Update bible AFTER source documents, not before
• •Changelog is critical—track everything
• •Bible should be readable by someone new to project
