System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill centralizes manuscript editing, formatting, and KDP packaging work so teams avoid fragmentation between Markdown sources, visual review in LibreOffice, and DOCX-based deliverables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lock the edit target and read source files before changes to preserve provenance.
  • Edit the real source first in Markdown, keeping formatting stable and using the source of truth.
  • Rebuild the review manuscript into a DOCX using the build script to prepare a review artifact.
  • Open the artifact in LibreOffice for visual review, layout checks, and front matter validation.
  • Reverse-sync from DOCX back to Markdown only when LibreOffice edits warrant preservation, reducing drift.
  • Stage the KDP upload lane by validating title, author, front matter, cover path, and metadata before manual upload.

Quick Start

Lock the target chapter in the Markdown source, edit as needed, and run the build_kdp.py script to generate the KDP DOCX for review.
