# Continuity check > A skill that reads your scenes and flags continuity problems — vanishing props, unexplained costume changes, location contradictions — as findings you accept or dismiss. Also known as continuity pass ## In practice Continuity check is analysis-first: it reads scenes and flags problems like vanishing props, unexplained costume changes, and location contradictions, citing establishing and contradicting lines. You get evidence to fix, not a silent rewrite that guesses which version of the coat is correct in the scene. Run it after major rewrites, before a table read, and before production handoff — anytime scenes moved and knowledge or objects might no longer line up. Dismiss false positives; accept findings you agree with. Nothing rewrites the script without your say-so, so editorial control stays explicit. Pair continuity with coverage when you want both machine-assisted diagnosis and a broader read of story clarity. Keep a save point before you act on a long finding list so cleanup stays reversible. The skill surfaces contradictions; the writer supplies the judgment and decides what belongs on the page.

No. It is analysis-first: findings tie to establishing and contradicting lines. You decide what to change — nothing is applied without your say-so. ### When should I run Continuity check? After major rewrites, before a table read, and before production handoff — anytime scenes moved and props or knowledge might no longer line up. ### What kinds of issues does it catch? Continuity problems such as vanishing props, unexplained costume changes, and location contradictions — surfaced as reviewable findings, not silent edits. ### How is Continuity different from Coverage? Both are analysis-first. Continuity targets factual consistency across scenes; Coverage evaluates story clarity and craft for a broader development read. ## Related terms - [AI skill](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/ai-skill): A structured AI pass that reads your document and proposes edits or findings in place — dialogue polish, continuity flags, coverage — as reviewable markup you accept or reject. - [Dialogue pass](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/dialogue-pass): A skill that proposes line-level dialogue improvements — tightening, rhythm, voice consistency — as inline markup you accept or reject one line at a time. - [Coverage](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/coverage): A professional reader’s report on a script — logline, synopsis, comments, and a verdict such as Pass / Consider / Recommend.
