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-fiction
Fiction craft reference for all subgenres: structure options, scene design, character depth, dialogue, POV and distance, the fiction-specific AI tells, and language notes. Read by architect, scene-generator, chapter-writer, editors, and beta-reader on fiction projects.

book-ideation
Phase 1: Ideation. Stress-test the premise, research real comparable titles, generate and rank concepts, offer voice samples, and lock a single concept with a reader promise.

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.

book-init
Phase 0: Onboarding. Define genre, reader, language, scope, and voice; capture the author's voice fingerprint; index source material; generate PRD.md and STYLE.md.

book-technical
Technical book craft reference: concept gradient, running project, failure-first teaching, code standards, diagrams, exercises, version handling, the technical-book AI tells. Read by all agents on programming, engineering, and data science books.
skills/book-technical/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
book-visuals
Book visual system: art bible and look lock, figure plan per chapter, code-rendered diagrams/charts/technical drawings, diffusion-generated illustrations and spot art, photo sourcing policy, cover, model-agnostic prompt compilation, vision QA, and asset validation for print and EPUB. Every image matches the book, the chapter, and the author's brief regardless of which image model renders it.

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.
