SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long-form fiction production involves many sequential stages—writing, reviewing, rewriting, and delivering—that are fragile when run as one-off prompts: interrupted runs lose progress, rework targets the wrong versions, and completed work gets silently redone. This Skill chains the stages into a single resumable pipeline with checkpointed state, so a full book workflow can run unattended and resume from the exact breakpoint after interruption. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stage Orchestration: Runs cocreate (optional interactive clarification), write, review, rewrite, and deliver stages in order, with customizable subsets via --stages. - Breakpoint Recovery: Persists stage completion and evidence in output/novel/meta/pipeline.json; rerunning the same command skips verified completed stages and resumes from the failure point, with --restart for a clean rerun. - Evidence-Based Completion: A stage is only marked complete after its artifacts pass verification (chapter files, review reports, rewrite backups, delivery logs), preventing false progress after crashes or deleted outputs. - Use Case: Run novel-studio --pipeline --prompt "写一本东方玄幻长篇" to produce a full novel end-to-end; if the process is interrupted mid-review, rerun the identical command and it continues from the unfinished review chapters. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the full novel pipeline with a writing prompt such as "run the novel-pipeline to write, review, rewrite, and deliver a fantasy novel starting from a border-town protagonist" and let it resume automatically if interrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions about novel-pipeline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a full novel writing pipeline from a single prompt?

Run novel-studio with the --pipeline flag and a --prompt containing your creative brief. By default it executes write, review, rewrite, and deliver stages in order, storing progress in output/novel/meta/pipeline.json.

How do I resume an interrupted novel generation pipeline?

Rerun the exact same --pipeline command. Completed stages whose evidence still verifies are skipped automatically, and execution resumes from the first incomplete or failed stage. Use --restart only to wipe state and start over.

Can I run only the review or rewrite stage on specific chapters?

Yes. Pass --stages review or --stages rewrite together with --from and --to chapter numbers, plus an optional --budget for per-chapter LLM call limits and --role to select the rewrite model role.

What happens if pipeline output files are deleted after a stage completes?

On the next run the stage's evidence check fails, its completion marker is cleared, and the stage reruns. The --diag flag reports this evidence drift read-only without changing any state.

Does the pipeline support interactive requirement clarification before writing?

Yes. Include cocreate in the --stages list to add a multi-round interactive clarification phase before writing begins. This stage requires an interactive terminal; subsequent stages run unattended.
