What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
book-academic
Academic writing craft reference: IMRAD and discipline structures, literature review, argument chains, citation integrity, academic register in en/ko/ja, and academic-writing AI tells. Read by all agents on theses, dissertations, monographs, and research reports.

book-draft
Phase 3: Drafting. Voice lock on a sample chapter, then sequential full-context chapter drafting with draft-critique-revise, bible ledger updates, and periodic continuity checks.

book-edit
Phase 4: Editing. Fact-check (nonfiction), assessment, developmental edit, line edit, copy edit, proofread, then a cold read by simulated readers that issues the readiness verdict. Rewrites the manuscript; does not only file reports.

book-illustrate
Alias for /book-visuals limited to diffusion illustrations (scene, header, spot art). Kept for compatibility; new work should use /book-visuals, which also covers diagrams, charts, technical drawings, photos, and the art bible.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
