SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates the planning, prompting, and validation of in-depth research for nonfiction books. It coordinates upstream documents and a two-model validation workflow to ensure readiness for chapter outlining and drafting.

Core Features & Use Cases

Research orchestration: plans gaps, expands prompts, and initializes trackers.
Prompt generation: creates self-contained prompts for each research gap, enabling deterministic outputs from Claude and Gemini.
Validation & readiness: performs structured validation, records verdicts, and consolidates architecture feedback.
Chapter handoff readiness: produces chapter summaries and final synthesis for handoff to the outline stage.

Quick Start

Initialize the Book-Level Research Tracker, upload upstream documents (Book Concept Document, Master Architecture Document, Section Blueprints), and generate the first set of chapter prompts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I plan and validate research gaps for a nonfiction book before drafting chapters?▼

Nonfiction book research validation uses a two-model workflow to check generated research prompts against upstream book architecture, recording structured verdicts and consolidating feedback to ensure research readiness before chapter outlining.

What documents do I need to prepare before starting nonfiction book research planning?▼

Yes, this research planning workflow generates self-contained prompts for each research gap designed to produce deterministic outputs from both Claude and Gemini models during the validation phase.

How does prompt generation work for nonfiction book research gaps?▼

After research validation, the workflow produces chapter summaries and a final synthesis document ready for direct handoff to the chapter outline stage.

What is the best way to synthesize nonfiction research for chapter handoff?▼

After research validation, this workflow produces chapter summaries and a final synthesis document ready for direct handoff to the chapter outline stage.
