Manuscript Prop Tracker
Track prop ownership, location and status, and compare two explicit story milestones with continuity warnings and future-only identities hidden.
The problem it solves
Manuscript Prop Tracker Manuscript Prop Tracker follows important objects through ordered story milestones. It reports each prop's latest owner, location, and status while flagging transfers from the wrong owner, appearances before introduction, and events after an object leaves the story.
Who Manuscript Prop Tracker is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with writing, manuscripts, props who want the documented v1.1.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result

Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Before running these source commands, download the v1.1.0 source archive, extract it, and open a terminal in the extracted project folder containing README.md. Follow the tagged README for required runtimes and any platform-specific setup.
python -m pip install .
prop-track examples/props.json
prop-track examples/props.json --through "Chapter 2" --format jsonThe input is structured JSON: milestones define story order, and every prop contains an explicit event history. Reports can stop at a milestone so an author can inspect continuity at a particular point in the draft.
The tool does not parse prose or decide which objects matter. It records only the facts supplied by the writer, and a clean report means those facts are internally consistent—not that the manuscript itself is error-free. Requires Python 3.10 or newer.
