NP Validate

Narrative Pro · Fab · ships with NP Validate Toolset

A linter for the failures that pass every other check: unreachable lines, conditions that can never pass, quests that can never finish.

Catch unreachable lines, dead conditions and unfinishable quests
Findings name the symptom you would otherwise chase for hours
Run by hand, from an agent, or as a pipeline gate

Narrative content fails silently. A condition that reads the wrong component never passes and never says so; a quest without a success state hangs forever; a dialogue branch nobody can reach plays perfectly in the graph and never in the game. NP Validate finds these before a playtest does.

Each finding names the symptom, not just the rule — “this reply can never be selected” rather than a code — because the person reading it is debugging a scene, not auditing a list.

It runs by hand, from an agent, or as a gate inside a pipeline, so a nightly content build can refuse to pass broken narrative downstream.

Every rule exists because something looked correct in the editor, played wrong, and took hours to explain. Each finding names the symptom you would otherwise chase.
