How do I create a story bible automatically?

Start from the manuscript and extract the recurring facts that matter: characters, aliases, locations, relationships, timeline anchors, and unresolved threads. Then keep those entries linked back to the scenes that proved them so the bible stays grounded.

Automation matters because the hardest part of a story bible is keeping it current after the manuscript changes.

A simple way to handle it

Import the draft into a system that can read it as story data.
Generate entries from the text, not from memory alone.
Update the bible whenever major revision changes the canon.
