Consistency Insight: people / places / time / logic
Last updated June 10, 2026 · 2 min read
By Chapter 10 you've forgotten what Chapter 2 said — this analysis catches contradictions in the open chapter.
Four kinds of conflict
| Kind | Example |
|---|---|
| People | Protagonist's eye colour, age, family, occupation |
| Places | Distance between two locations, building details, geography |
| Time | Time flow ("3 days later" but the story says 1 day) |
| Logic | Whether plot development stays internally consistent |
How it analyses
AI reads the chapter you currently have open and checks whether its setting, timeline, spatial details, and plot logic stay consistent within it — then reports any contradictions it finds.
E.g.:
🔴 Conflict: "J. Doe's eyes"
- Chapter 2: "his sea-blue eyes"
- Chapter 8: "a flash of green"
Suggest: pick one, revise the other
Integration with Entity tracking
If you maintain entity files (e.g. "Protagonist.md" says "blue eyes"), consistency analysis uses that as source of truth.
Otherwise it uses "first appearance" as the baseline.
When to run it
Run it chapter by chapter as you finish drafting each one — a good way to catch slips while the chapter is still fresh.
Suggest: a pre-submission sanity check on key chapters, not a tool you need to fire constantly.
