How the agent did it
- Dictate rough scene or worldbuilding ideas to the assistant.
- File them in the appropriate Scrivener project.
- Prepare outlines that preserve the author’s intended broad strokes.
Anastasia Uglova describes Claude as the continuity assistant for her science fiction and fantasy projects. She dictates rough ideas, asks the assistant to file them in the correct Scrivener project and returns later to an outline that preserves the broad strokes.
The ongoing records include character sheets, chronology and the rules of a fictional magic system. Their purpose is concrete: prevent a later chapter from contradicting an earlier invention, and keep a large cast and world consistent while the author concentrates on sentences. Uglova identifies a physics serial and a vampire story as projects using this arrangement; her corresponding Reddit account explicitly names Claude Code.
The author says she writes the prose herself. The account does not provide an independently inspected Scrivener ledger, an error-reduction count or evidence that the assistant can reliably judge literary quality. Its separate AI-detector experiment should not be treated as a measure of continuity performance. The useful workflow is to retain the author's dictated intent in project files, distinguish outlines from final prose and maintain shared reference records that can be checked during revision. The short original instruction below is the filing request described in the article, not a complete configuration for the writing assistant.
